Grimes Babbling About AI, Art, Education and Politics
Alright, brace yourselves folks. C, or whatever she’s calling herself these days, better known as Grimes had a nice little chat about just about anything her heart desired. God save us, she even touched on the notion of “traditional masculinity”. The most shocking part? People listened.
Key Points: Musings of a Wise-in-Her-Own-Eyes Pop Star
Her ramblings traversed territory ranging from AI-generated music and art to education and politics. FYI, this is coming from a woman whose main claim to fame is being the on-again, off-again girlfriend of a billionaire space cowboy. With her profound insights, she’s trying to redefine traditional masculinity, whatever the hell that means.
Potential Implications of Grimes’ Unasked-for Opinions
In an age where anybody with a microphone thinks they’re the next Einstein, Grimes’ blathering about AI and education could actually be dangerous. This is a pop star, not a technologist, not an educator. Should we really be taking her opinions seriously? Imagine a world where our children grow up thinking that it’s fine to assign individuality and creativity to AI, just because Grimes thinks it’s cool. Or even worse, one where “traditional masculinity” is shaped by the whims of a pop star.
The “Hot Take”: Grimes, Please Stick to the Autotuned Warbling
Look, here’s the deal. This is not an attack on C or Grimes or whatever her performance art name is this week. This is about a society that’s so obsessed with celebrity that we’ve started treating pop stars as thought leaders. Grimes is a pop star. She’s not a philosopher, she’s not a scientist, hell, she’s not even a good dancer. Let’s keep our perspective here.
So here’s the hot take: Grimes, stick to your autotuned warbling and your fashionable suffocating costumes. Leave the thinking to those equipped with training and understanding. A lot of serious people are doing serious work around AI, education and redefining masculinity. They don’t need your uninformed and self-serving input diluting the discourse.
