That's because the blown up car is not advertising anything.

Instead, imagine an ad extolling the virtues of public transport by blowing up cars in a parking lot. It sends the complete opposite message than what was probably intended.



Yeah, it feels like the replacement is the issue, not necessarily the destruction.

I don't want to just program a song on an iPad. I would like to perform it on a piano, which means I can't crush my piano and replace it with an iPad.


Yeah, I do a lot of live recording from my piano to Mac and I was thinking the same thing.

But maybe the ad is saying - you're no longer programming a MIDI track, the AI piano player in Garage Band or whatever is just going to be indistinguishable from a real piano.

I wasn't initially bothered by it, but I think the people who are have a fair point especially about the generative AI implications of replacing real creative tools.


Yeah I don't care how good the AI is, it's not the same as the experience of playing a real instrument. It's taking away someone's creative experience and replacing it with a synthetic version. Even if the result is higher quality artistic output it eliminates the process of producing it which should not be discounted.
