I don't think expensive public transport is the problem. It can be crucial for some people. The fact that the article says some people need "short stops on trips to and from work, short-distance trips and a higher frequency of trips" just means the public transport needs to be tweaked, not completely scrapped.
I think the divide is that artists have worked at developing a skill to express themselves (art) while AI artists think they have achieved the same thing by turning a prompt into an image. The former is an act of expression, the latter is choosing something you like out of a magazine. Very different and one is art and the other is not. If you really want to say AI is art, maybe, but the person prompting it is definitely not the artist...maybe the curator.
A hyper opinionated curator that is commissioning work based on very specific criteria, maybe.
I don't think that artist is the right word, but gallery owner or curator aren't quite right either. People are pumping out mountainloads of hot garbage with these things, but others are taking time to think about things like image composition, color and light rendering, etc. that are considered artistic skills. And that's not getting into the people that were already artists and have just added this to part of their workflow.
I do think overall the needle is closer to the curator side of the spectrum, but it's not all the way there, and I don't think it's fair to say that there is no expression in the process, at least for some.
It should work for declaring melodies in any system of music that has notation.
Now, you're correct if you're saying that not all music has melodies. Or that things like Indian ragas would be difficult to run through exhaustive permutation. But, as far as I know all music in the world has native notation or can be notated and reproduced.
The credential management api is super annoying. Many websites now have a very annoying sign in with google dialog whenever I visit them and there's no way I can find to disable it.
The Credential Management API is more like a API in to the browser's password manager. A page can save a username/password/token into secure storage (which the browser can sync to your other devices) and later retrieve it. This is nice because we don't have to rely on autofilling form field heuristics.
You're thinking of Google's One Tap, which is just a JS snippet that publishers include on their page, and has nothing to do with browser APIs. (The OP shows a screenshot of One Tap, which is confusing.)
These uBlock filters will make those sign up with Google popups go away entirely:
