It's the end of creativity. I know writers in the Sub Stack that use a computer program to write their shit I take my art of writing seriously, but I also used to be a damn good pianist. The pause between notes are as essential as the notes. It's the feel.
WRITING: AUTHENTICITY These are dark times, and stupid ones, but do we need writing that does nothing but dramatize how dark and stupid everything is? In dark times, the definition of good writing would seem to be an art that locates and applies CPR to those elements of what’s human and magical that still live and glow despite the times’ darkness. Really good writing could have as dark a worldview as it wished, but it’d find a way to both depict this world and illuminate the possibilities for being alive and human in it. Write as if you were dying. At the same time, write as if you write for an audience of terminal patients. That is, after all, the case. What would you begin writing if you knew that you were going to die soon? What would you say to a dying person that would not be enraged by its triviality? What the really great artists do, is they’re entirely themselves. They’ve got their own vision; their own way of fracturing reality, and if it’s authentic and true, you will feel it in your nerve endings. However, there is a downside to this: by being yourself, being authentic you also make yourself vulnerable. The more I reveal about myself, my age, my loneliness, living in a city where I don’t know a living soul, the more people pounce on you because they know your weaknesses. I have spoken about how much I suffer from the suffering of others. Would I just disengage from it all? Turn off the news, work on myself. No, I wouldn’t or rather I couldn’t. As you reveal yourself to the reader, and peel away the layers of the onion, you have to make yourself vulnerable. And there are many out there, who are ready to pounce on every mistake I make, every misunderstanding on my part about how all this works. But if I allow the haters and trolls to stop me from writing with any degree of authenticity, then I’ll simply take my slings and arrows. Freedom is the only worthy cause in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond my control.
Sorry for invading your space Braeden. Hope you don't mind. I have accumulated a lot of haters and trolls because to be a good writer I have to allow myself to be vulnerable and i also say, as you know, what I believe are facts (remember those) and free will (Remember that) LOL
Amazon is now requiring authors to disclose books using AI. And I believe it is the same with YouTube music made with an AI tool. It’s important for myself and husband (who is a songwriter and composer) to retain our authorship. For artistic people this is another amazing tool! Thank you for sharing and you caught my attention with the photo at the top. I am now a subscriber! 🤗
What did you use for this?

I don’t know why it comes up with a cert error—don’t when I’m on VPN
Music will always be about the human connection. I'm excited to see how artists utilize AI to express themselves in new ways.

KEEPING QUIET
For once on the face of the earth
Let’s not speak in any language;
Let’s stop for one second
And not move our arms so much.
It would be an exotic movement
Without rush, without engines.
We would all be together
In a sudden strangeness.
Fishermen in the cold sea
Would not harm whales,
And the man gathering salt
Would look at his hurt hands.
Those who prepare green wars,
Wars with gas, wars with fire
Victories with no survivors
Would put on clean clothes
And walk about with their brothers
In the shade doing nothing.
What I want should not be confused
With total inactivity.
Life is what it is about.
I want no truck with death.
If we were not so single-minded
About keeping our lives moving,
Perhaps a huge silence
Might interrupt this sadness
Of never understanding ourselves
And of threatening ourselves with death.
Perhaps the earth can teach us
As when everything seems dead
And later proves to be alive. Pablo Neruda
To be honest with you, I can not wait until music industry wakes up for real and go to war against AI stuff. 🤣
I mean they hunted down streamers during pandemic on Twitch for playing famous music in the background.
And don't get me wrong. I hate music industry, they are so greedy... 😩
