My music project is being overshadowed by AI, and it's ethically messed up

I put my heart into composing, but AI tools create similar tracks without any emotion. This devalues artistic expression and needs to be called out.

See I used to brush off the whole AI art thing, like oh it's just another tool, but you're totally right about the emotion part. Hearing a track that's technically fine but has zero soul behind it just feels off, and it does cheapen the real work. Changed my mind completely, there's something actually wrong about how it grabs the style without any of the human experience. This stuff needs way more pushback before it's too late.

Watched my friend, a musician, use an AI to make a song for his album. It had all the right notes but none of the feeling, like a robot covering a heartfelt tune. He said it just copied the sound from his favorite artists without any real life behind it. He ended up throwing it out and writing something from scratch instead.

parkerp80, but isn't this just the usual panic over new tech, like sampling or synthesizers?
