just talked at an AI and music conference at IU Bloomington and I’m happy to report that every student I talked to is militantly radicalized against suno so that’s nice

One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get is that on the Adam Neely channel is that, I, Adam Neely should never talk about Adam Neely’s music in any context.

Earnest questions for visual AI artists! 1. What about AI lets you do different things from other digital art? 2. Do you feel like you have a unique “voice” with your AI art? 3. What AI visual artists inspire you? What about their work makes you inspired?

On Instagram, there is a NYC jazz bassist who is very aggressively promoting his “BassGPT” LLM app. I admit, I didn’t see the jazz pdf-seller to AI grifter pipeline coming, but in retrospect, it was inevitable.

The sheer number of “I’m a real musician, I swear!” posts on the r/Suno subreddit is pretty sad, honestly. Other music-related subreddits are just people sharing tips on how to make dope beats, but the main effect of making AI music seems to be deep existential anxiety of the value of your work.
