   In one of my songs named: Not Fully Here.

   I have a small sentence in it that goes: "If love is light, why can’t i see" and to this day, i still think about that line. Whenever i write a song about myself, my emotions or my experiences. I just get so very emotional. And realise again and again just how sad my life really is. But despite all that, i enjoy writing these songs… i see all the hate i get for using AI. Which i partially understand. But its not like i try to replace anyone with my "art". I use AI to turn the Lyrics into Songs. But what about my Lyrics? They are mine… i came up with them. No AI. Just me… my emotions… my thoughts. My creativity. And people hating on me for that, i can’t describe how that makes me feel… i know, people online will always find ways to hate. That’s not the real issue for me. The real issue is, that while it’s Sung by AI. Those are still my words… it is as if i would text or call a person and say "i‘m not well…" and they answer "you are not well? Too bad, it doesn’t matter how you feel because you are telling me this over text or on the phone." If that makes sense.

   My intention is not and will never be, to replace real artists. I‘m not "selling" my music as art. The only thing i‘m doing is writing my Lyrics as a coping mechanism and thanks to AI, turn them i to real songs. No one has to like it. But i found a thing i am good at… a thing i am happy with… something that makes me genuinely happy to do. And i like to share it with others because i know that many people out there suffer just like i do… and i want them to feel heard. To feel seen.

   Sorry if i insult any real artist with my "work". That’s never my intention… i just wish we could all be kind to each other and acknowledge the person behind the screen instead of always being judgmental and rude to strangers…
   I‘m also not a fan of those mass produced AI videos that are obviously just… bad. Made with no other intention other than making quick money or "a funny slop video"

   I feel like, now that i finally found something that genuinely makes me happy, people try to ruin that for me by being rude and judgmental without even hearing me out. It feels wrong and unfair… i‘m not looking for pity here. I just needed to get this off my chest…

   Again: The Songs i write, they are only existing because of the fact that i (no AI included), write them. Could i pay a real singer to maybe sing my songs? Maybe. But for how much? Hundreds or thousands of bucks? That i don’t have and will never have? I am already playing the drums in some of my songs to give the AI a rhythm. And yes, you can definitely hear the drums i play in song of the songs. Not in all. But some. I genuinely hope that i am not doing something "morally wrong" with my music. Because i really love what i do. I‘m doing it with heart. So please, feel free to critique me and tell me what i‘m doing wrong or not. Look at my stuff and then tell me if i‘m just like all those people who produce "mass produced AI slop". I‘m not good at editing or anything. But the songs i write? I‘m very proud of them.

   I wish you all a good day/night. Thank you for reading this🖤

    LA MEDIOCRIDAD PREMIADA NO ES UN ERROR: ES UNA DECISIÓN DE LA EMPRESA @Google (Yotube). No es un problema que exista contenido mediocre. Siempre existió. Siempre existirá. El verdadero problema es que las plataformas tecnológicas que hoy median la cultura no tienen —o no usan— la capacidad de distinguir valor de ruido, y han decidido reemplazar el criterio por una métrica: la cantidad de visitas. YouTube no muestra lo que es mejor. Muestra lo que ya fue visto. Y esa diferencia lo cambia todo. Un video de una patata frita girando durante diez horas puede alcanzar millones de visualizaciones. No importa que no informe, no conmueva, no cree nada. El sistema lo interpreta como valioso porque otros ya lo miraron. El algoritmo no pregunta por qué. Solo replica. En paralelo, una obra original —música propia, letra propia, tiempo humano real invertido— queda enterrada con cincuenta visualizaciones. No porque sea mala, sino porque no fue empujada. Y no fue empujada porque no tenía números previos. Un círculo perfecto de invisibilidad. Esto no es neutralidad tecnológica. Es una forma de criterio. Uno extremadamente pobre. La paradoja es obscena: vivimos en una era en la que la inteligencia artificial podría analizar patrones de calidad, originalidad, complejidad, incluso impacto semántico… y sin embargo se la usa para amplificar lo que ya es masivo, no lo que es valioso. En un momento en que se utiliza la I.A. para casi todo, esa misma IA no decide nada aquí. Lo decide un contador de visitas.
    
    El sistema no distingue entre atención y mérito. Asume que si algo fue visto, merece ser visto. Y al asumir eso, entrena a millones de personas a producir no lo mejor que pueden, sino lo que el sistema tolera. El resultado no es solo mediocridad premiada. Es talento desalojado. No porque falte capacidad creativa, sino porque el entorno castiga todo lo que no se adapta rápido al ruido. Pensar, crear, pulir, arriesgar… son desventajas en un ecosistema que confunde valor con repetición. Este no es un reclamo de un Youtuber frustrado. Es una observación estructural. Cuando una plataforma que concentra la visibilidad cultural renuncia a cualquier noción de calidad, no solo organiza videos: organiza aspiraciones. Decide qué tipo de inteligencia es rentable. Qué tipo de esfuerzo vale la pena. Qué tipo de creación merece existir. Y hoy la decisión es clara: No importa qué hagas, importa cuántos ya te miraron. Eso no es un fallo técnico.
    
    Es una elección filosófica disfrazada de "algoritmo". En todo caso no hay un ser humano "responsable" de esto, sino que se lo endilgan a un "algoritmo", un ente que vaya a saber qué o quién es, porque nadie lo sabe.
    
    Ahora bien: Si las plataformas que modelan la cultura global no recuperan algún tipo de criterio —humano, híbrido, imperfecto, pero real— no estarán democratizando la creatividad: estarán industrializando la mediocridad. Y el costo no lo paga el algoritmo. Lo paga todo lo que podría haber existido y no fue visto. (Rubén Sada, Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina).
    ______________ ENGLISH______________
    REWARDING MEDIOCRITY IS NOT A MISTAKE: IT'S A DECISION BY THE COMPANY @Google (YouTube). The existence of mediocre content isn't a problem. It always has been. It always will be. The real problem is that the technological platforms that mediate culture today don't have—or don't use—the ability to distinguish value from noise, and have decided to replace that criterion with a metric: the number of views. YouTube doesn't show what's best. It shows what's already been seen. And that difference changes everything. A video of a potato chip spinning for ten hours can reach millions of views. It doesn't matter that it doesn't inform, doesn't move, doesn't create anything. The system interprets it as valuable because others have already watched it. The algorithm doesn't ask why. It just replicates. Meanwhile, an original work—original music, original lyrics, real human time invested—is buried with fifty views. Not because it's bad, but because it wasn't promoted. And it wasn't promoted because it didn't have previous viewership. A perfect circle of invisibility. This isn't technological neutrality. It's a form of judgment. An extremely poor one. The paradox is obscene: we live in an era where artificial intelligence could analyze patterns of quality, originality, complexity, even semantic impact… and yet it's used to amplify what's already massive, not what's valuable. At a time when AI is used for almost everything, that same AI decides nothing here. A view counter decides.

    The system doesn't distinguish between attention and merit. It assumes that if something was seen, it deserves to be seen. And by assuming that, it trains millions of people to produce not their best, but what the system tolerates. The result isn't just rewarded mediocrity. It's displaced talent. Not because there's a lack of creative ability, but because the environment punishes anything that doesn't adapt quickly to the noise. Thinking, creating, polishing, taking risks… are disadvantages in an ecosystem that confuses value with repetition. This isn't the complaint of a frustrated YouTuber. It's a structural observation. When a platform that concentrates cultural visibility abandons any notion of quality, it doesn't just organize videos: it organizes aspirations. It decides what kind of intelligence is profitable. What kind of effort is worthwhile. What kind of creation deserves to exist. And today the decision is clear: It doesn't matter what you do, what matters is how many people have already watched you. That's not a technical glitch.

    It's a philosophical choice disguised as an "algorithm." In any case, there isn't a human being "responsible" for this; instead, it's blamed on an "algorithm," an entity that who knows what or who it is, because nobody knows.

    Now then: If the platforms that shape global culture don't recover some kind of criterion—human, hybrid, imperfect, but real—they won't be democratizing creativity: they'll be industrializing mediocrity. And the algorithm doesn't pay the price. Everything that could have existed but went unseen pays the price. (Rubén Sada, Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina).

    What surprised me most about the ManifestGPS quiz is how specific it gets. This wasn’t generic advice at all. It mapped my energetic patterns so clearly that I finally understood why copying other people’s manifestation methods never worked for me. it genuinely felt like a turning point for me. been manifesting non stop! ❤️

    I’ve done courses, watched endless videos, tried affirmations for years. The ManifestGPS archetype quiz was the first thing that actually showed me the root of my blocks instead of just telling me to think positive. It felt confronting in the best way. After reading my archetype breakdown it finally clicked. the way how they described manifesting in a way that made sence I finally felt calm instead of confused. I love life🥰

    This sounds dramatic but the ManifestGPS quiz helped me stop blaming myself. It showed me that my manifestations weren’t failing, I was just using the wrong approach for my archetype. I chose the bundle after because I wanted to really understand how to work with my energy instead of fighting it.

    I took the ManifestGPS archetype quiz late at night out of curiosity and ended up crying a bit 😭 It felt like someone finally put words to things I have been looping in for years. The result didn’t just describe me, it showed me why my manifestations kept stalling. I ended up downloading the workbook after because I needed to work through it properly.

    Felt like doing the ManifestGPS archetype quiz cuz everyone been talking about it lately. Results were not comfortable, but they were necessary. The explanation of my archetype made me realize I was manifesting against my own nature the whole time. No wonder things felt forced, lol. The workbook option at the end actually helped me integrate it instead of just consuming more info.

    I took the ManifestGPS archetype quiz thinking it would be fun, but it ended up changing how I see myself. It explained why I would get close to my manifestations and then somehow push them away. Reading through my archetype guide felt like someone finally understood how my energy actually works.

    "Can't teach old dogs new tricks" this was one thing that scared me growing up, that I'll lose the ability to learn and advance. So I was happy to see my Uncle watching videos on YouTube educating him on concepts he didn't know about, or new only briefly and was interested in knowing more about it, only for me to find out that it was all AI generated slop,

    Some might have used it only in the grammar editing, some in the image generation only, and before AI slop it's not like everything on the internet was true, but after seeing how much AI lies (makes up information) especially during the last years of my degree, I am skeptical about every AI content I come across

    Looks like it's time to go to a library's archives instead of the internet for information as we used to. A great irony shall pop up: the use of AI to hunt down a real book for information. As a writer and artist myself, the use of AI to do work for you is abhorrent. I do not pull punches when I say that one who uses such to do the creative work for them do not deserve the title of "artist" or "writer". Besides, it's the truth anyways.

    AI is a weapon possessed by our powerful enemy, yet it uses it against us. Just ask any AI expert, and you'll see—they aim to fundamentally destroy us: our minds, our thinking, our creativity, even our language and our ability to resist. Once everyone uses AI, and every phone has AI, they can monitor us constantly, modify our thinking and language abilities. At that point, our words and thoughts will be dictated by them, and we won't even need them anymore, because we'll have degenerated into appendages of AI, appendages whose only sustenance is obeying AI.
