So, my friend, what are we going to do, or be — when absolutely everything, including our humanity, is fake? — a comment regarding AI music

YouTube's music fakery

 

The irony of YouTube's AI-generated music is that it takes us easily befuddled humans to appreciate some of its inarguable beauty.

 

Consider in illustration, the recent plethora of YouTube's artificial intelligence-generated blues. Some of these songs are presented as being recovered 'lost' recordings from artists from the past.

 

If, however, one researches the alleged singers (only occasionally presented) names, they never existed.

 

 

To fully appreciate the quality of this deception . . .

 

. . . listen to the following AI-generated selections from YouTube's Crossroad Records.

 

Though the following are very similar in artificial construction, each has an emotional appeal — both in lyrics and melody — that the comments appended to each indicate is real:

 

 

Burden of the River - Soulful 1960s Deep Emotional Blues (allegedly sung by a 'Rosie Malone')

 

Wounds That Time Forgot | Soulful 1960s Blues Ballad with Deep Emotion

 

Moonlight on My Hands — Soulful Blues Ballad That Echoes Through the Night

 

Copper Sky | The Most Beautiful Country-Blues Song You'll Hear Today

 

Shadow of My Own Heart (1964 Lost Demo) | Haunting Soul-Blues

 

 

From these . . .

 

. . . we recognize how easily we humans are manipulated.

 

Prompt a little emotion, and whammo, they got us.

 

 

Then, there's the obvious theft involved

 

At core, this AI music trend represents the computer-generated theft of voices and intonations of people, who once lived and are unnamed and not credited with the DNA-based glory and body of work that they once were.

 

AI steals what evolution (or God) created and uses those thefts to its own, essentially mechanical and electronic, purposes.

 

This is so because, at some point, the human contribution to the creation and advancement of AI fades into insignificance.

 

 

The moral? — How is Homo Sapiens going to end up?

 

As lab rats kept around to provide an audience for computer nerds' and the Parasitic Oligarchy's soulless deceptions?

 

Physical, economic and moral enslavement for most of us is likely to be the end result.

 

In a direct sense, we will have brought this upon ourselves.

 

Review the comments attached to the above Crossroads Records' selections and notice how few of them care that the supposed 'artists' never existed and no one is actually singing and performing the songs posted.

 

We are eagerly complicit in our own destruction. As an old man, I am appalled and impressed at the same time.

 

The AI revolution that is swiftly coming will dwarf the industrial one in its dehumanizing effects.
