who care about real music oppose AI.

It's completely unethical to use generative AI tools trained on stolen intellectual property, and it's disgusting that Pauly ever thought it was okay.

No one who cares about art and human culture - and who has ANY sense of ethics - should be siding with the AI-peddling robber barons and the people foolishly and/or lazily using those tools.

None of the AI peddlers and AI users are creating anything, or learning anything. They're cannibalizing real artists' work, dumbing themselves down, and harming the environment while they're at it.
