Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.
So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

I appreciate that people are listening to me at all and I don't want to be ungrateful, but these remain my thoughts on Spotify in particular and I want to leave the platform behind as soon as it's personally viable. My music's the same on all services and actually sounds less good on Spotify.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

The people who will most profit from this quality and connection-sapping technology being assumed to be inevitable, want you to give up on pushing against it today, by believing that fight is already over.
Don’t give in.
Don’t be fooled.
Don’t accept the thing already making our medium worse.

Like others I played the Arc Raiders playtest, enjoyed it and was looking forward to the game only to discover they are using AI voices.
Their reasoning was that they can "go from ideation to implemented voice work in hours not months"
Thing is, that's not an AI issue, that's a pipeline problem...

If your company cannot hire any voice actors, don't put voice acting in your game.
This AI voice acting crap is bad.

Beyond disappointed to learn that Arc Raiders, like The Finals before it, uses AI voice acting.
So many iconic game voice work is little vendor greetings, and to farm that out to a machine is a hollow admission of a lack of care.
I know a thousand actors who would have done better for buttons.

I know Silicon Valley loves reinventing existing stuff as a worse version of itself, but "Conversation Focus" being their reinvention of "Just fucking paying attention to the person you're talking to" is WILDLY telling about how these people are in real life.
