well, we had this argument about autotune in music, and y'all said it was okay. now suddenly it's not. hrm.
you take the human out and substitute it with a machine. do it in art and it's fantastic. do it in programming and it's unethical and you have the technical language to describe how the code it puts out is substandard because this shit threatens your money. it is real to you.

I still think autotune is shit but okay, guy. And this shit threatens _everybody’s_ money, not because it’s good mind you. But because the executives making the decisions think it’s good enough that they can stop hiring humans to do work on the back end because it’s all good enough to the slop consumers. And they’ll keep raising the prices of everything while pocketing the new profits so everything gets more expensive while also getting continually shittier. Why? Because people start to accept the slop. Don’t accept the slop. Have higher standards.
