I agree that putting people in prison often puts them on a worse path in life. But I think that is true for all crimes. What I disagree with is you trivialising this particular crime saying it's unlikely to kill someone. That is not true. If you hit a wire at 30kph it's very likely to kill you.

It's sheer luck that nobody died. If they shot random people on 2 separate occasions, but nobody died, would you say no prison time, just make him replace the blood soaked clothes?
It's also the message it sends to society about how much a cyclist's life is valued. If this young man gets a slap on the wrist it's essentially saying cyclist's are fair game. It's no big deal if you put their lives at risk. Is that really the message we want to be sending?
Hope they throw away the key!
It's not a replacement for that. You can do it in addition.
The dildo of consequence 🤣
Yeah, I get what you're saying and that's a totally valid way of looking at it.
The way I see it is if you're not making the sound yourself, you're using some instrument to create the sound. Whether that instrument is acoustic, electric, computer, or AI is just a matter of degrees. Is a musician who creates music from samples expressing themselves?
For me with AI, I write the lyrics myself, give detailed description of how I want it to work. Then go through hundreds of generations, piecing together bits I like, regenerating bits I don't. It's not the same as playing guitar, but it's still creative. And more importantly it's fun.
How much AI music have you created? I've done quite a bit (and I also have 30+ years music making experience and a music degree), and I would consider it expressing oneself. You could question if photography is expressing yourself, because the camera "does it all for you".
The fact is most people don't regularly make music. This is probably because it takes years of practice to make something that they think sounds good. If we make it easier to make music that sounds good, more people might express themselves through music.
I think meta pays pretty well
Small sample size. Hard to draw conclusions. Let's end our disagreement here. All the best
