But if you thought that the point of art was the exercise of human creativity, then algorithmic art is a disaster. If the point of art is to be engaged in the activity of making it and appreciating it - if the point of art is to be buried in the process, to be doing it yourself, using your own emotions and invention and sensitivity to fine tune every detail - then algorithmic art is cheating. Not cheating in some boring legalistic sense but cheating in the cosmic sense. By using algorithmic art generation tools, we are cheating ourselves out of one of the most precious activities we have left

Of course, music itself isn’t the problem; it remains one of the most powerful tools of expression, entertainment and emotional connection. But the conditions under which we engage with it have changed. The rise of algorithmically generated playlists and near-constant headphone use means music has often become background noise, something to fill space, not deepen experiences.

Francis says their understanding of the AI-pusher's outlook is that they see the entire game-making process as a problem, one that AI tech companies alone can solve. "When I'm told 'Think of how much time you could be spending instead of making the actual game!', those who have drank the AI Kool-Aid don't understand that all this brainstorming and iteration IS making the game, it's a crucial everyday part of game development (and human interaction) and is not a problem to be solved."

"The first commandment of economics is: Grow. Grow forever. Companies get bigger. National economies need to swell by a certain percent each year. People should want more, make more, earn more, spend more - ever more. The first commandment of the Earth is: enough, just so much and no more, just so much soil, just so much water, just so much sunshine. Everything born of the earth grows to its appropriate size and then stops. - Donella Meadows
