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

@tante welche Band?

Deutsche Laichen hat für das neue Album KI Cover Art. Das finde ich auch extrem befremdlich

[tristananthony@mastodonapp.uk]

@tante Punk? In 2026?

[weyoun6@kolektiva.social]

@tante but a lot of "punks" like the style and have nothing to say, so this is clearly what they need.

[himbovoorhees@elekk.xyz]

@Recalcitrant @tante there shouldn't be any debate it's antithetical to punk !

[himbovoorhees@elekk.xyz]

@tante what's the point of doing punk if you're not gonna do it yourself... Then youre just a poseur

[recalcitrant@autonomous.zone]

@himbovoorhees @tante yes the debate was whether the original post was pro-AI! Everyone involved was saying fuck AI. But it is resolved.

[himbovoorhees@elekk.xyz]

@Recalcitrant @tante damn right, fuck AI!

[ozzelot@mstdn.social]

@pmjv @tante the horrible one has vinylburza sometimes, that is good

[ozzelot@mstdn.social]

@pmjv @tante the deep one has blešák, that is good too

givemore pays me so i can do all that, and doesn't make me create the torment nexus in the process, so that's a thing

[dmian@mastodon.social]

@tante “Punk’s not dead, I know. Punk’s not dead I know!”
“I think punk’s dead…”
“Oh, sorry! My bad. Yes, punk’s dead, I know…”

@Recalcitrant @tante

Anyone who needs AI to write songtexts should better be thinking about playing instrumentals.

[cholling@bytes.programming.dev]

@garbageman @tante Oh you're right, guess I'd better ask ChatGPT.

[fabio@zirk.us]

@tante I think I read the same interview today lol, I kept waiting for a punchline or something.

[mmby@mastodon.social]

@tante Sloppy Punks, fuck off?

[31113@kolektiva.social]

@ZenHeathen @tante Rage written by Machine

[humtotable@sfba.social]

@ZenHeathen @tante

[poljack@dice.camp]

@tante a couple of weeks ago a confrere was asking about using AI to "co-author" an anarchist zine and my soul shriveled and died.

[jake4480@c.im]

@ozzelot @tante if the punk band uses AI, I'm out. And everyone should be.

[gavin57@toot.wales]

@tante I presume they make the most verbose and rambling punk songs ever, then?

I don’t think three chords are going to cut it.
