Discussion Poll: AI in r/psytrance
Hi r/psytrance,
We've noticed a fair bit of discussion on AI and its place in the scene lately. So we want your opinions on what kind of content should be allowed in the sub. Votes in the poll are anonymous, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Heads up that polls don't work in old.reddit - you'll need to temporarily switch to the app or new to vote.

I can get my head around small artists using ai for cover art. Thats about it. I'd obvs rather they didnt, but i also understand this shit costs money, and a small producer is potentially already losing money to release music.
For visuals for youtube, i'd rather have a black screen with the track title on it. Its not useful to anyone to put ai visuals on there. Just destroying the planet for no reason at all.
Fuck ai music off all together. Ppl who make ai music needa be slapped lol.

my take on AI will always be: if you can't be bothered to actually make something why would I bother to look at it

Even though I'm sad to see so many producers use AI visuals, it would exclude too much cool music if we banned them.
AI music is just trash though

Any attempt to moderate for AI is doomed to failure. You can only catch the most obvious low-effort AI slop, and presumably people aren't going to care for that stuff anyway, so let people vote it out. Besides, at least some artists are using AI tooling in their creative workflows in novel and interesting ways (e.g. Bluetech) and it would be a shame to block their work because people also use those same tools to make junk.

I have no idea. I try super hard not to be a purist. I am the one who always insists on diy as much as possible for a sense of pride and feeling of accomplishment and can’t imagine feeling that way if people liked what I put out and it wasn’t my effort. But I know a lot of people put out stuff people love and it’s a lot of just samples they didn’t diy and the art is in the processing and arranging. So I’m not sure that’s vastly different than using AI. Sure it’s a huge crutch that may make a lot of the music seem watered down not sure?

Are you using old.reddit? I believe polls only work on new or on app

ah, that might be it. oh well, no poll for me then. i'd still rather have 15 posts on my front page one of which is an ad, rather than 5 posts, 3 of which are ads.

i like it when ppl are cool to other ppl. and the planet. thats what i always associated with psytrance
AI is none of that. built on corporate mega levels of pirated work by creative ppl of today and yesterdays. consuming energy from tomorrow. I say I d rather see none of that here.
be excellent to each other
