AI, music, and Us

I’m sitting on my porch listening to my wife’s playlist drinking some coffee. The birds are singing and nature is alive. Beautiful Ohio morning in April.

AI is beginning to become part of our everyday lives? Is it subtle, explicit or is it somewhere in between?

I think we are on the precepts of blurring our human abilities to distinguish the difference. At a minimum we are now more skeptical of excellence. Wow, never would I have ever thought that. It’s amazing how human nature tells us that something was excellent, AI did it. The best of us have two choices – let AI do it – or work so darn hard that our labor can never be questioned.

Music- AI is delivering some excellent tunes. I actually enjoy some of what I’ve heard recently. This however, makes me think how hard our musicians will have to work to make their art known moving forward.

Is AI actually making us work harder now? Probably.. but like the laws of nature.. the strong will survive..

I do think AI will help us get out all the thoughts traditionally trapped in our head with no idea how to get them out. Once the ideas come out and an “idea” is formed into something .. actions plans are created.. amazing how sharing thoughts with a “computer” helps generate our unique thoughts.. hence, start the hamster wheel.

I will conclude with, let’s work hard at keeping us authentic!

Happy welding!
