@Bruce_Toews @KaraLG84 @SteveSawczyn @HNguyenLy To be more specific: When posting, an option to do one of the following: Prevent all replies, restrict replies to followers only, or allow all replies.

@talon @KaraLG84 @SteveSawczyn @HNguyenLy I suspect he was probably just venting and then we all sort of jumped in and made this important. Sometimes I think Mastodon needs the option to prevent replies on a post-by-post basis, or at least the ability to restrict replies.

@talon @KaraLG84 @SteveSawczyn @HNguyenLy Fair question. I think it only matters when questions of loss of income on the part of effected people is in play. I.E., artists and others who are having their work stolen to train these LLMs.

@SteveSawczyn @talon @HNguyenLy I vote we call this "spaghetti music", because it's usually people who don't understand anything about music doing the stringing together. Similar to how "spaghetti code" or "copypasta" is code strung together to come up with something that works without the stringer understanding what they're stringing together.

Ug that's miserable. I hope you are able to stay cool.

@SteveSawczyn @talon @HNguyenLy With that said, I completely understand Talon's at best reluctance to label any of this art.

@SteveSawczyn @talon @HNguyenLy In the worst case though they're at best speaking rhythmically, and at the other end of the autotune, listeners can't really be sure which it is/to what extent autotune is carrying the weight.
