Are we allowed to like AI art?

People don’t like being deceived though

I remember this controversy back in the day where a, I believe it was a hip hop group, was considered to be slightly too ugly for music videos or any video performance. So models were hired to lip synch the songs for the videos

I don’t think a single person upon discovering this was like “oh yay, I’m so happy I was fed this false deceptive reality about my favorite band!”

I’ve also been asking family and friends “would you prefer that someone who is doing a particular job or service you are using, no matter what that job is, would you prefer them to be using their own training and experience or using AI?”

I have yet to have ANYONE I know answer with the latter…

Yeah but it's a very gray area. My only real skill and education is in music. So many things can be considered "deception" with regard to music. The purest form of music is just seeing somebody do it live on acoustic instruments. Once you introduce electric instruments you're cheating. Once you introduce keyboards you're cheating. Once you start recording music with microphones you're cheating. Once you start recording music in stereo you're cheating. Once you start using midi keyboards that crudely sample other instruments you're cheating. Once you start using midi keyboards that emulate instruments in a way most people can't detect you're *really* cheating.

But for some reason, people mostly only consider "auto-tune" to be cheating. AI music isn't really lying to you because it's just emulating stuff people have already done.
