AI music is a disgrace, an affront to art, and something for us all to reject wholesale.

This is an actual attempt at democratic deliberation within an organization where members will weigh in. And that's actually a good thing.
While this all looks and feels very messy for NYC-DSA, it certainly beats the current system where almost everything is done behind closed doors at the behest of consultants & the only choice Democratic voters are given are to either get in line or zone the fuck out.
