RE: Three Tune Tuesday - Zeke Pickleman!

That is probably discussion enough for a post on its own.

I hate effortless AI slop, how it can take the magic of playing an analog instrument and performing live with friends. Between 50,000 and 60,000 fully AI-generated songs are uploaded to Spotify every single day. This is roughly 34% to nearly 40% of all new music entering the platform on a daily basis. So, the margerinization (New Zeke Word) of music is as concerning as the disaster AI/datacenters are for the people and planet.

That being the case, I am loving using it as a tool or another instrument and putting experience I have as a song writer, performer and fan into creating songs I always wanted to, or never would have. I also love how band mates and even people who have never gotten into music are enjoying and feeling enspired by it.

So, 100% AI generated music is soulless slop in my mind. Even though I write all my own lyrics and know exactly what I want in the music from having enjoyed or played it myself, it won't replace the real thing. I love the human inspiration part which we need more of these days.
