but I would enjoy it if people would be slightly more careful about the second-order implications of their confident statements, JC said, for the 4958686th time in their life, haha

Again, maybe we're reading different skeets and so we're not discussing the same šŸ’æšŸ“. But "practice is fundamental to making something other people will care about" is more a fundamental law of the universe than an opinion.

As is "There will always be people who want to skip the practicing and go straight to the bit where they're universally adored and lauded". I mean, "I hate writing but love having written" is a very old joke(?) for a reason.

My stance can be boiled down to: if someone produces songs that other people enjoy, great, go with god brah. But I'm willing to bet if/when that happens using a full AI toolchain, it will only be *after* that person has spent hours and hours (and hours and hours) trying and failing and trying again.
