A friend of mine sent this to me and I thought it was excellent.

The SCL Publishes Legislative Position Paper on Generative Artificial Intelligence

Particularly point 7:

“AI created works are all by definition derivative. They are based on the ingestion of any number of human-created inputs, be they music scores, songs, paintings, etc. An AI has not lived a conscious life from which creative inspiration is drawn. It can only analyze, mimic or resynthesize previously existing human works or data sets.”

Yep, saw this video a while back.

One our Yoga teachers once said: “If you want to be miserable, try arguing with reality.”

Tunesat will but I’m not sure they will with a free account. If they did, that would be an option.

Fascinating article MichaelL!

I remember the love and passion I had, as kid, when I first picked up the guitar. That has held throughout all these decades later. Whether as a guitarist, producer, songwriter, composer, engineer, whatever. Sure, music can be a harsh mistress, at times, but at 82 years old the love and passion is still there.

“Spotify and Apple sure do have a lot of “music data” to “share” with AI Learning models. I wonder if they are participants in the party? Their catalogs are substantially larger than Shutterstocks and really, offer more quality.”

“And therein is the ultimate question: If its not your passion, if it’s just a means to a financial end, why do it anyway?”

Exactly. Many, many years ago I knew I was in music to stay. We all like a check at the end of the day but in lieu of that I will keep writing. Who knows where it will lead?

“PS – the video did not impress or inspire me Art. Call me old skool….”

That’s fine. My take was much different.

Watch the video I just added to this topic, you should be inspired. Forget about what the Pond5s of the world are doing.

It’s easy to get into the mind set that “the sky is falling” but in reality none of us have a crystal ball. All we are doing is making up stories. Mark Twain famously said “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.”.

So, embrace the change and keep an open mind.

I don’t think it’s much to worry about. Let it ring out naturally as the music editor will make the fade. Most likely the will just chop it. 🙂
