No, people need to start being creative and to make their own shit again.
No....you agree with him?
I mean no, it shouldn't be used to make any music, least of all shitty elevator music.
Who else should made elevator music then?
Actual human beings. Or just use music already made by people.
But why, I don't think any artist has ever thought:
"Creating elevator music is so fulfilling! I would never take a different job and express myself in unique and creative ways, bland repeating background noise music is my passion!"
Believe it or not, they do.
Like take hold music for example: the hold music you hear most of the time is actually called Opus No. 1 and was written by two teens in their garage in 1989, and when one of them went to work for Cisco ten years later, he offered it to them for their hotline. True facts, look it up.
Don't ask me how the hell I just know this shit. 🤦
Yeah, that's fair.
I mean, people are doing that. It's just that it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper to program an AI to be creative than to pay actual creative people.
