Lots of people!

Have you never heard of the Guggenheim?

It might not be your taste ( I don't like "modern art"; however, there are many who do! ), but you don't have yto buy or even look at it.

No; there will always be people who think and see in new ways, and they will come up with new types of art.

In terms of technique, styles like pointillism, impressionism, and others, were probably not thought of by the Old Masters; and there will be more in the future that we can’t imagine now. And content will always be endlessly inspired as long as human experience and history continue.

Were making so much bad art because we’re developing ‘bad’ artists.

Sounded like filler on an old Edwin Starr album, supported by Jr. Walker and the All Stars.

Trained ear, droop.

But AI music for mutt-faced masses? You enjoy that. Schadenfreude!

I’m not necessarily saying there not good music being made these days, but it’s all derivative.

THAT is so wrong and so great on so many levels.

That may be the most original AI to date...one of those -- 'we got the studio all weekend, tape is rollin', wgaf let me tell you what happened last night' ...

It's almost as impromptu as Elvis singing "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" in the back of a limo, after the documentary camera in "This Is Elvis" caught him talking about the action he got "last night".

I can only imagine what Frank Zappa would have done with it, if he were still here.

True. But occasionally you can come across something that sounds almost like nothing else. This for instance:

Glass Beams

Sounds like what The Mahavishnu Orchestra was doing 50 years ago.

I would take that over any SB halftime show of the past 25 years.

They were the original DEI halftime show.

Only a little. Maybe an influence. I’ve heard Mahavishnu for years but this is far different. More rhythmic. Better grooves.

And the guitarist is nowhere near McLaughlin’s caliber.

I thought in the UK, the people were subjects.

What’s the issue, Walrus?

I’ve noticed that one of the things people are listening to is old Muzak from the 70s, it’s suddenly become “hip”. And I think that’s what you will see, various retro styles will come back and fade just as quickly.

All the good art has already been made. Seriously, what else is there to do?


Of the various artists I’ve known in a variety of disciplines, none ever thought that all the good art had already been made - and the only time they wondered what else there was to do was when they were in a creative slump.

But don’t you agree we’ve definitely reached the point of diminishing marginal returns?

For example, I literally could listen to a song from the 1960s, and tell you not only the year, but the month of the song.

If you play me a song made after the year 2000, I couldn’t tell you the year, or even the decade, it all sounds the same now.

I am a fine art photographer. A number of art shows (not just photographs) I’ve entered in the last year have had totally created AI “photos”.

They are very eye appealing, vibrant but a little too “perfect”. They are original art, as are paintings and sculptures in the shows, but not photographs in the traditional sense.

Much like the trans (male) athletes, they need to have their own category and not be entered as a photograph.

This youtube link goes to a full Led Zeppelin II album, styled as if it was recorded in the 50s. I can’t tell if this is Ai, but it’s astoundingly good musicianship. I have listened to it multiple times.
