Cycling is an entirely different sport than running. Your comparison is faulty.
This is like telling engineers they can’t use calculators to complete their task.
Comment on Actually, That AI Drake and The Weeknd Song Is Not Eligible for a Grammy
Fisk400@feddit.nu 1 year agoSorry, humans still set the rules for competitions and we are allowed to set arbitrary lines to keep the competitions fair and relevant. That’s why we allow shoes but not bikes when people run the marathon.

Cycling is a different sport than running because we banned bikes in one of them. Both sports have lists of things you are and are not allowed to do in order to maintain the spirit of the sport. As shoes become more advanced hundreds of jurys look at the new shoes and decide if they are allowed or not. Most shoes pass but some are banned.
In the engineering example they are allowed to use calculators in their job but they are not allowed to use them in math competitions that don’t allow them.
Grammy is a competition and not part of their real job. If you don’t want to participate you don’t need to.

What? This is their real, day-to-day job. This isn’t a competition, in the sense which you describe.
Their managers submit their works (read: the stuff they made at their day to day job) from the calendar year, which are reviewed in private by the judges.
If the goal was ‘you have X time to make Y song within these parameters’, you’d have a direct comparison but it is not, and you do not.

If they make an AI song they are allowed to sell it and people are allowed to listen to it but, that particular song just isn’t eligible for the competition that is The Grammy.
When artist make music they WANT to win a Grammy but it is not a REQUIRED part of business model. Most music produced in the world do not win Grammies and still able to make money.

Competitions are still subjective.
Also the competitions is “in the current year (as defined by the contest rules) create a song that is better than your competitors”
Just because it’s their day to day job doesn’t mean it isn’t a competition.

We don’t even allow all shoe types in marathons. Certain Nike shoes are considered “too good”.
