What's the point of listening to purely AI-generated music?
I don't mean music that has AI-generated stems as part of an arrangement, where a human actually created it and used AI for bits and pieces, I don't see absolutely any point on listening to purely AI-generated music. The fundamental essence of music is emotion, listening to something generated without emotion has no point, it might sound good but it's hollow and devoid of meaning.
I've tried to listen to it, it doesn't even make me "sad", it makes me feel... Nothing. I'm a hobby musician and I incorporated some AI-generated parts in some tracks where I mangled/processed them but my idea was exactly to express how hollow AI-generated music is without the human aspect.
I have. It's overly polished, formulaic and dull. It's devoid of any of the qualities that make music interesting. There's nothing a human is trying to communicate. Perhaps it could be used as elevator or hold music.
I agree, it's shockingly good these days; we can argue about morality etc, fine, but burying one's head in the sand and claiming it's bad puts you at odds with reality, which isn't a good place to be.
It's pretty silly that so many people take as an axiom that the human brain basically has a monopoly on certain patterns of electrical signals, and have semi-religious beliefs that this will always be the case.
“In producing textiles but has there been actual positive impact in other sectors?”
I’m sure the Industrial Revolution didn’t just happen all at once, it started somewhere and crept.
support of all kind (including voice), marketing, real-estate, financial... yes, a ton of fields are being very impacted right now but right now doesn't even matter, what matter is what we know it will reach as theory will become practice.
Generally, people don't care about "fields being impacted", and the students certainly don't. People care about the impact certain technology has on their daily lives, on their welfare and the ability to pay off their mortgage and provide a decent life for their children.
The AI as it is today isn't really doing any of those things. At most, it's a sort of reliable replacement fot Google Search. Worden ehen, it's being presented as threat to all those things the people care about.
No. It ruins art, ruins music, ruins communication and on and on. It's cancerous with respect to anything related to art or cultural value.
Why "ruins"? just because it's not made by a human?
AI-made music is frankly pretty good, do you actually listen to it?

Medicine?
There was recently an article shared around here that an LLM diagnosed ER patients more accurately than doctors.
Looking beyond LLMs image analysis to detect cancer and other diseases.
Like in coding, AI can and should be a useful tool for the human who decides and is ultimately responsible.
If you read more than the headline it was not how doctors diagnose patients in an ER(small text only description of symptoms).
Remember when IBM claimed the same about Watson?
