Reply To: What are your thoughts on AI in the music creative process? Is it good or bad?

For me, I’d use it if it were a tool to augment what I already enjoy doing as a hobbyist. But going around and recording sounds on my phone and dropping them into the GranulatorII (not digging 3 lol) and messing around with unique sounds and textures is so much more satisfying than having a computer do it for me. But using an algorithm to help master a track I’m okay with so long as I have an understanding of the process in the first place (which I do, just not good at it lol).

With us being in the thick of full-blown AI generated art, music, and culture, and the consumption thereof, I sometimes think human-generated content might actually take on a more “precious” aspect that people would be willing to pay for. It could actually have the reverse effect–instead of being technowashed out, it becomes more sacred and saught-after.
