Thank god I've reached the point of my life where I mostly listen to the music from my youth.

I kid, I kid. All this AI generated content - I refuse to call it art - is overwhelming human-created works and it's depressing. I hate it. I don't respect people that use it. At a certain point, any meaningful creativity is outsourced away from the human, and that's no longer art. It's slop.

There’s a pretty good chance these days that if you see any “X video game sound track played in Y genre” posted on YT in the last year or two, that it’s fake BS. These fucks often don’t even credit original composers of the soundtracks, let alone identify that they generated it from a slop machine. I block those channels when I find them, but it’s a game of whack-a-mole, because two more heads of the hydra pop up for every one you chop off.

I'm kinda sad that this reminds me of when Bury the Light by Casey Edwards for DMC5 somehow got replaced on Spotify by a crap AI "cover" for months. Like somehow full on replaced the original.
