Speaking of AI....

Has anybody used Suno? I was thinking I might give it a go for creating backing tracks.

Music and Art are two endeavors where I draw the line with AI.

[Mik]

Agreed. I have a musician friend who is taking great delight in making horrible mediocrities with AI.

I take your point, but I don't see a problem using it as a practice tool. I've used Band in a Box for years to create backing tracks.

It's not like I'm able to create them with actual people (or failing that, musicians).

Also, I'm a massive hypocrite as I dislike AI.

Pfftt … I don’t need AI for that, I am perfectly capable of making horrible mediocrities all on my own, thank you very much.

[Horace]

By definition, mediocrities are not horrible. They are mediocre.

[Mik]

Depends on how you view mediocrities. I think they're horrible.

But you're leading today's pedant race.

[Doctor Phibes]

Mediocrity will be a step up for me, so I'm good.

[Mik]

I rest my case.

Yup, mediocrity is a stretch goal for my skill level of piano playing.

Beato talked about her in his most recent video. A video where she speaks and claims to be real has a magical disappearing doorframe behind her. Doesn't seem much doubt.

I wonder if the easiest legislation to pass, should the AI job apocalypse come about, would be to make it more difficult for private companies to lay people off.
