Yesterday Adam Neely released a very smart in-depth video on the impact of AI on music. If you care about music, you should watch the whole thing.

 “Commercial generative AI is bad in ways which are different from other disruptive music technologies from the past, like MIDI sequencing and samplers, because there is a sociopolitical agenda behind its adoption. This agenda will be bad for musicians. It will be bad for music lovers. And it will leave us feeling more alienated and alone….

“There is a class of techno-capitalists who are currently using generative AI as a means of wealth extraction. They do this by circumventing intellectual property laws and then sell you back the gamified experience of making music….This is bad and the future of music is in bad hands.”
