Fantastic. Another great thing I’ve done for my “Magical” placements…Started sampling myself and forming libraries that I haven’t sold to anyone. Long term community and friendship begin with reaching out and saying hello. Hello again, Tommy. See you on the circle platform. Would be great to visit Poland and sip a great cup of goodness over great conversation ;)
Art is technique, it is Latin for "knowing how", the special sauce doesn't come from anyone's talent or uniqueness in particular, it comes from everything that has been done to produce a work of art.The problem is not using AI for inspiration, or helping you getting the sound you are looking for, the problem is using AI to make art for you.When you randomly generate a drum loop or chord sequence you effectively are curator, not a creator. Now this isn't bad in itself, its just one hell of a slippery slope, and you can go from "outsmarting AI" to lying to yourself real quick.
Hey Tommy! Funny timing ~ just yesterday i received an email from one of my publishers in the Uk who gives me hires me for most of my audiobook narration work . He was basically warning me that as soon as the industry legitimizes the use of AI and gives the green light, most publishers he knows are going to switch to AI for narration and stop using humans. Personally, I can't stand listening to even a short video with the robotic voice and mispronunciation of words~ I just can't fathom anyone wanting to listen to a whole book! I believe it will bifurcate the audience into those who don't mind the artificial expression and those who will only opt for true emotive human delivery. Thoughts?
Zee I respect you and appreciate your optimism. But I think its a little naive to assume that there won’t be massive price collapse in this industry. Its already hard enough to compete with platforms like pond5 and to claim that you’re “just creating files” if you’re not succeeding feels a little detached from reality. I want to believe we can all do well in this industry but I think its a disservice to hand wave the upcoming technology and claim that you’ll be fine as long as you just make good music. AI music might not compare to human made music now. But this technology is moving faster than we think and I hope we can all be ready to adapt to that. You’re sort of disarming us by saying it will be fine as long as you just make good art. Instead I feel like you could try to be more honest about the narrowing of opportunities that are highly likely to be the reality of this industries future. Its not too late to demand transparency, regulations and rights on behalf of artists if you inform your audience to rally. Please take some time to look into some of the major breakthroughs in research that are happening in AI and be honest with yourself about whether you think things will work out the way you think or want them to. A lot of people think these breakthroughs are years away until suddenly they happen. As an AI engineer and musician I just think we can have a better conversation about these things and maybe do something about it so we can all engage with the reality thats ahead of us in the most productive way.
AI is pretty stupid overall. Totally unreliable in terms of factual accuracy, and dangerously so because it presents itself as authoritative, and makes stuff up to fill in gaps it doesn't know about. Very useful creative tool however. I don't see this dynamic changing in the near future. When AI begins to be able to access books and materials not on the internet, and isn't talking out its silicon ass half the time, that might change things.
Fantastic.

hey Alexander - great to see you again. Anytime you are in Warsaw or Toronto or anywhere near those places - let me know! Hugs!
Not only concise, crisp and compelling, but informative, interesting, and inspiring! :)
Thanks so much Charles. I’m happy you’re here! ❤️🙏
Inspiring, and interesting 🤨 Is always good too see such positive outlook and direction.
Cheers 🍻 tommy Blessings and thanks 🙏
Always appreciate you being here!❤️🔥🙏
PS thank you for making this video!! As ever, you are taking a stand for humanity and your huge heart provides a bright light of inspiration! xo
thanks Jacqueline - i will always take the side of humans...as daft punk said: we are human afterall.
Wise words, Tommy! Thank you 😊
Thank you as always Mary! Hope you’re well. ❤️🙏
Absolutely love this, so true man ❤️
thanks for being here!
Great video, totally agree. No need to be afraid af AI as of today, but we can use it to increase the power of our content.
Use and not be used by the robots. 🤖🔥❤️🙏
In the words of DEVO, "Whip It Good"
Wise words.

Good points. Appreciate your thoughful comment! 🙏

the moment I hear an AI voice , I turn it off. Human-made, real art will become more valuable as AI enters the race to the bottom.
I totally agree! the pendulum is always swinging. @@BearfootBob
"AI racing to the bottom." Excellent and hopeful analysis!@@BearfootBob

Well said, Michael. Appreciate your thoughtful comment.
