Yesterday I read an interview with the singer in a punk band who uses GenAI to help with writing his texts.

@tante So sad. A friend recently shared with me a song from this YouTube channel dedicated to Punkrock-Slop: https://www.youtube.com/@Edel-Punk 🤮 Don't klick the link if you do not want to give attention to AI slop. (I made clear in my response to them that I do not want to have this kind of content in my inbox.)

@tante Using GenAI right now is pretty much the antithesis of "counter-cultural," which is usually a common theme in punk music.

I don't care what their style of music is, this is not a punk band. This is a poser band.

@tante Der Punk vor mir an der Edeka-Kasse legte säuberlich einen Warentrenner auf das Fließband, und fragte nach dem Bezahlen mit EC-Karte nach den Treuepunkten.

’s dead.

@tante
I have also seen AI-generated flyers for punk concerts. So that's where we're at.

@tante
Guess he doesn't have anything meaningful to say ...

[larymir@chaos.social]

@goetz @tante Warentrenner verwenden ist einfach nur freundlich/rücksichtsvoll gegenüber der (vermutlich unterbezahlten) Person an der Kasse, das sollte kein Widerspruch zu Punk sein!

What a failure at being punk.

They might as well wear a suit and tie and get on with the business of full conformity.

Die Punkte nehme ich auch immer und lege die dann an der Seite liegen.

ok mir sieht man das Punk sein auch nicht mehr an.

[legit_spaghetti@mastodo.neoliber.al]

@tante Sounds like someone who likes the aesthetics of punk but fails to grasp the ethos of punk.

[theonedoc@tech.lgbt]

@tante that's what happens when you got nothing to say and put style over substance.

A link to the interview would be greatly appreciated.

@tante nothing says punk like using the tools of multi billion dollar corporations to do the creative work for you

[ggmcbg@mstdn.plus]

@tante

He IS a punk.

[csgraves@turtleisland.social]

@tante I hope the band fails. Their dreams dashed on the rocky shores of this ai bullshit.

[csgraves@turtleisland.social]

@GGMcBG @tante a soft ass punk with nothing to say worth hearing.

@tante @thomas

Jeez. Why even then. Just perform covers. No point in writing your own shit then. With punk if you have AI write the lyrics your down, the three cords are already done too kind of by default.
