I’ll start. System of a Down.

Recently it seems like some people are JUST NOW realizing that Bring me the horizon is not Christian friendly and I wonder how many other artists can we put into the bag of “Wait, they were political this whole time?”

    If you want a music artist that is guaranteed to not come out in support of some political view, you should probably pick a dead one.

    Alternately, you could sign up to udio.com or suno.com and generate some of your own. Since it’s an AI making the music you can be sure it holds no opinions.

      Since it’s an AI making the music you can be sure it holds no opinions.

      That is a very popular, but also very dangerous misconception. AI has all the same biases and opinions as the dataset it was trained on (and thus also those of the engineer who picked said dataset). Even if you just YOLO it by training it on “everything” and hoping it’ll average out, whatever biases society itself as a whole has, the AI will happily perpetuate.

      For example, folks wanted to reduce judge bias in criminal sentencing, so they created an AI… and then trained it on historical sentences. Guess what happened?


      In reality, if you want to create an unbiased AI, you’ve got to go out of your way to carefully curate the dataset to deliberately remove bias, and almost nobody is doing that.
