well, we had this argument about autotune in music, and y’all said it was okay. now suddenly it’s not. hrm.
you take the human out and substitute it with a machine. do it in art and it’s fantastic. do it in programming and it’s unethical and you have the technical language to describe how the code it puts out is substandard because this shit threatens your money. it is real to you.
And this shit threatens everybody’s money, not because it’s good mind you. But because the executives making the decisions think it’s good enough that they can stop hiring humans to do work on the back end because it’s all good enough to the slop consumers.
And they’ll keep raising the prices of everything while pocketing the new profits so everything gets more expensive while also getting continually shittier.
Look up the luddites actually, they were resisting for literally the things I just said. And y’know what? They were completely right! It wasn’t about fearing technology that could in theory make things easier, it’s that the owners were turning to the machines that made an inferior product for cheaper.
They fucked over the workers and the consumers because they didn’t care about quality of the product. They just wanted a cheaper made product and to not pay the workers.
So you’re actually on the side of the owners screwing all of us when you shrug and accept this crap as an inevitably.

I still think autotune is shit but okay, guy.

Why? Because people start to accept the slop.
Don’t accept the slop. Have higher standards.
sorry, but i feel like such a luddite here
i’m not going to complain when the computers are massacring another art form when they just finished massacring mine. It’s either all good or all bad.
