That was an interesting one! I wasn't really sure what to make of Finbar at first.He sounded like a motivational speaker more than anything else.It wasn't until you were discussing the ideas of the Train/chain analogy and it's possible implications for Artists- and I guess importantly it's possible role in ensuring they get their commissions and royalties- that the penny started to drop.That and the way his mind thought about how to network etc to give yourself the best chances of 'success' in your own terms. The drawbacks of AI will come, I think when people who don't have a positive goal get to be "Keepers" of tools like that. There are enough lies and misinformation being peddled as 'alternative facts' to fill several oceans enough! Even the RUclips algorithms seem to try to anticipate musical taste by setting what types of stuff it lets you see-unless you make the effort to seek out new music. Anyway, food for thought.
Best wishes,
Rhodri.
