I would say this might be similar to someone who has never played an instrument, for the example, let's say a guitar, messing around with it for a few hours for a few days and determining because they can't play it, the guitar doesn't sound very good at all.

I have seen and heard this "Artificial Yes, Intelligent, No" sentiment a few times over the years.
And when I've challenged such folks to a "You vs AI" battle of the minds, they and I both know they wouldn't stand a chance against an AI bot in the same way they wouldn't stand a chance in an earth moving competition with a bulldozer.

Anti-technology and folks that cannot understand technology have always been with us.

After all:
"If man were made to fly, he would have been born with wings"
"The earth is not a globe."
"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home."
“There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.”

Are you trying to be funny, Steve?

I've been using AI tools in music production since 2018 and know them pretty well—not for songwriting, of course but there are plenty of other uses. If you watch cable TV, listen to YouTube, use a cell phone, send and receive email, you are using technologies that have my fingerprints from when Silicon Valley and AT&T were my day gigs. Though long retired from that grind, I still consult to Apple now and then.

Your condescending blend of arrogance, insults and ignorance is getting pretty old.
