Steps, AI Music

Every achievement is a step to be crushed while moving on to a better one.

Slow going today. Sent out a few emails about 'Cat Covid!', and read about the rise of AI music which will probably swamp all non-AI music within a decade; a huge transformation. This affects all arts, and all creativity, almost everything I do. What is the answer? Running to smaller and smaller areas where AI cannot penetrate. AI may oil paint one day, although this is one of the most complex of skills, oil is so very delicate and sensitive. AI can't interact with real people in daily situations - but then nor can I.

The effects on music will be considerable, and have dampened my optimism for music promotion today, but made me rethink about art for the better. Art must be, at all times, human.
