> AI music company Suno’s CEO was quoted as saying “I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music” in what sounds like yet another justification of Suno’s prompt-based (and very popular) generative AI music service... > Such systems offer the promise of skipping the labor by bypassing the creative process and, yes, the difficulties, confusion, and frustration inherent in such endeavors, but… The true purpose of AI is to free humans from creative and engaging work, so we can spend more time doing drudgery (like monitoring AI output). > Statements like Suno’s perfectly captures the prevailing public mindset about AI: that Artificial Intelligence is little more than a labor-saving optimization tool. This mindset tends to be good for #Capitalism, but betrays not only a lack of understanding of why people make music, but also a profound lack of imagination regarding how we could, or would want to live with our technologies in our lives. The true goal of Capitalism is the elimination of anything that isn't Capitalism, so it can be replaced with more Capitalism, until everything is Capitalism and nothing else remains.
