Wow.
Musical instruments weren’t invented to make music difficult. They were built to make music possible.
Wondering what a pocket watch from two-hundred years ago is worth now?
It’s only of value to collectors or maybe to survivalists. It’s unlikely that any ordinary American under 25 today can tell time on an analog clock, much less one with Roman numerals.
I guess the pocket watch example was for the loss of the ability to make such a complex precision miniature machine. I felt something lost while listening to that AI music sample.
But I hear you. Who the hell can read a click face nowadays? Not many.
The wind-up watch is a perfect example. I am always lamenting the loss of all the brilliant and well-crafted, non-electrified things we used to have. Most of the ones left are expensive because rare, and the cheap new ones soon stop working. Am I just a typical cynical old person, or is that really more true now than ever?
I felt like music was being perverted and also ridiculed in that AI clip. I have to admit, the ridicule in the lyrics of the classical-style choral number,”It’s over!”, and in the “We are so bad” pop song were funny. I’d like to know whether a human instructed AI to do that, or if it chose to on its own when simply told to produce an original a song in those styles.
