Are we allowed to like AI art?

the shitty ones you generally see are using free/trial models, most people aren't willing to spend hundreds in tokens to generate throw away social media videos

'18-month New Yorker investigation finds OpenAI’s Sam Altman lobbied against the same AI regulations he publicly advocated for, pursued billions from Gulf autocracies, and how he tried to hide a post-firing investigation that produced no written report'

AI music models (like Suno, Udio, and specialized guitar neural networks) are doing what Clapton’s fingers and tube amps couldn't physically sustain:

[#1]Microtonal "Vocal" Fluidity: AI can slide between notes with a mathematical precision that mimics human vocal cords more accurately than a guitar string can be bent. It eliminates the "fret ghosting" and physical resistance of steel strings.

[#2]Perfect Harmonic Polyphony: Clapton often had to choose between a "thick" distorted sound (which muddies chords) and a "clear" sound (which lacks sustain). AI can generate a "impossible" signal that maintains 100% clarity on a complex chord while each individual note carries the sustain and distortion of a screaming lead.

[#3]Timbral Morphing: AI is performing "style transfers" where a guitar track can literally morph into a human voice or a cello mid-note—a level of expressive "fluidity" that Clapton envisioned but was limited by the hardware of 1967.

1. Yeah Clapton would love vid related I believe fully. But fully possible as you see.
2. Clapton would love a G3 live concert I'll bet cash. But yeah there's dopeness to be discovered with ML just waiting for a human artist to collaborate with (bit prosaic, anyways.)
3. Come on you've heard Peter Frampton live. Impossible for Clapton? Fine maybe so.

I judge you're into music so we're not really arguing at cross-purposes I don't think. Don't count human artists out is my only niggle. Please post novel ML music stuff anytime if you think it's not slop because I want to hear it.

I mean to link this from the listening thread as my reference for 1. Sorry it's harder to proofread when script kids are running their LOIC and the server starts dropping requests. Funny how the site is responsive after evening server time and I apologize for any confusion amigo.
