Shame on you, Mr Hee, with your mealy-mouthed ‘I don’t support this but let’s try it out anyway’ words! You’ve lost my vote permanently.
“Each age, each guilty age, builds high walls around its Versailles; and personally I hate those walls most when they are made by literature and art.” John Fowles in The French Lieutenant’s Woman.
Rest well, Ursula! And thank you for teaching me that great fantasy is never just about the fantasy. It illuminates the real world, too.
10 or 15 years ago, I had a copy of a DOS program (poem.exe) that generated short poems. Some were good, most boring, some meaningless rubbish. (I think the @poem.exe Twitter account is using dear old poem.exe with a human deciding what to tweet.)

But I always remember that what sells the music industry giant’s idea of music isn’t the music. It’s sex. So when they feed specialist-AI-generated lyrics into specialist-AI-generated melody into specialist-AI-generated avatars – will the domination of musical sex machines like Beyoncé finally be broken?
Only when the avatar looks and acts like her.
