Why My Father Is Wrong: A Defense Of Guitar HeroMy father recently wrote a piece detailing some of his thoughts on AI, and in doing so he compared using generative AI to playing Guitar Hero. However, I understand the base argument being made here is that Guitar Hero does not teach you how to play a real guitar, and that the skills that you get from playing Guitar Hero are not transferrable to the actual instrument. While Guitar Hero has no basis claiming to be a tool for learning guitar, it never stated that that’s what it was for at all. Listen, nobody walks around saying they’re a guitar player just because they play Guitar Hero. Long story short, Guitar Hero was never advertised to people as a learning tool to learn guitar, and those who played never claimed to be guitarists or profit off of it.
