I think from a factual basis your position sounds perfectly reasonable, I feel similarly about new things. (Perhaps there are other parts of the story missing though?)
There's a lot to be said for delivery. If you opened a gift an reacted badly immediately, that would hurt. Even if the gift was misjudged, it was probably meant with good intent. Accepting thankfully, acknowledging the intention, and THEN coming around to the "but you really should have checked in first for something like this" might be a good way to start.
Yeah, I think AI optimising commercial music genres is just effectively doing what the corporate music industry has been doing for years anyway. It's like gamification of the auditory processing system.
It is possible for genAI to be creative in that sense (e.g. move 37), but it's not possible for it to know whether that new thing is good/valuable/true/whatever. So it can't challenge an idea in any sense more meaningful than a monkey throwing darts. A human could use it to generate challenges, and then evaluate them, but that's a different proposition.
On your first point, I think it's not so much about reputation as about trust. Long-standing accounts at least have the simple trust that's based on consistency and familiarity. If you meet a new person IRL, you at least get something to go off based on visuals and behavioural cues. A new account online has absolutely nothing to base any trust on.
It's a generally applicable lesson in why it's NOT a good idea to change things for the sake of it though (chesterton's fence, but where most of the actual bits of fence are invisible).
Get a cheap/pirated DAW with some basic synth plugins. I'd recommend starting with the most basic subtractive synth you can find, plus a sampler, and some basic effects (delay, reverb, distortion, chorus). Limit yourself to that until you understand everything they're doing.
I like non-generative AI. Early artificial life sims (e.g cellular automata) are super interesting, and machine learning and xAI are great for science.
Just not that big a fan of the infinite slop machine helping the rich get richer at the cost of degrading our knowledge base and arts
Maybe? But I'd say it's probably also quite common. Parent-child relationships are pretty intense at the best of times, and no one is perfect. No idea what your situation is, but it's worth remembering that parenting is hard sometimes, and it's easy to fuck up.
