In case you needed one more reason not to use AI …
The CEO of ChatGPT is blaming a teen’s suicide on his failure to follow the terms of service:
Adam Raine, 16, told ChatGPT he was suicidal and the AI bot told him his feelings were valid and even provided suggestions and detailed instructions.

Ever heard that someone is "playing their hearts out"? I think this describes @artofstone.bsky.social's music best.
It's not very exited, but nontheless pationate. When something is so seemingly simple, even the smalles changes and contributions matter so much more.
Love it!

I’ve been trying to find ways to articulate my hatred of AI-generated music that won’t come across as snobbish, but most of what I have to say about it can be boiled down to this:
None of the artists I like in any genre, regardless of era, make music that can be accurately predicted by a computer.

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

I have so much material written for a new album, and I’m kind of terrified to try to record this one myself 🤣
But I can’t currently afford the assistance I used to get with recording.
I have to start trying to fumble my way through the process.
