"Stoner Rock" ... I had to read such post. Not that I know rock - I hardly do - but I wanted to know what is behind such a title: My first thought: "How are Rock and Weed related? Perhaps some soft rock .. nahhhh can't be soft rock!" .. obviously, what I heard was nowhere close to soft rock.
AI has come a long way - additionally, a recurring theme in my earliest posts to our blockchain here. Perhaps you've seen this post here: https://ecency.com/music/@edje/artificial-intelligence-ai-becoming-real-humans-quality-music-compositions-getting-reality
I strongly believe AI will create much of what people created before, and still many of them do. Whether it'll have a true soul or not, it will pretend to have a soul, a consciousness; it will simulate one. Whether we like it or not, it will happen. We humans just have to deal with such a reality. The other day, I was listening to several tech journalists questioning the fact that so many users say 'thank you', 'good day' and such to ChatGPT in their conversations with 'it'. Already today, in the state AI is, people think about AI not being a pure machine. AI isn't even close to its full potential.
