AI and the future of music

Good idea!...

I recently threw some questions at ChatGPT to see what was up. Questions were about politically sensitive subjects such as 911 about which I know a lot. It is obvious that the AI data collection is filtered and skewed. If AI ever attains primacy in "fact checking" then many of us will be disappointed especially if AI is successfully hyped as the ultimate arbiter of truth. At least some aspect of AI will be a psyopish attempt to lock down what is and is not "truth." Of course, Google already is this creature - just look at their tendentious search engine results - but AI has a potentially much larger and more vast hype premium. On political, philosophical, ethical questions AI at some dismal point will be ordained "Big Brother." It may to many of us be a laughable Big Brother, but much of what we are contending with right now is quite laughable too though it has a foothold nonetheless.

Well said and it will happen.

I really chafe at the false equivalence, the general fallaciousness, and the abject awe-mongering that defines the typical Artificial Intelligence Apologia argument.  
You can always see these arguments coming a mile away.  
There is a clear difference between technological advancements like toasters, microwaves, etc. and the dawn of dominant artificial intelligence in everyday life. 
C’mon, man…  
Seriously.

Re: AI generated music I don't doubt that some of it may be quite catching, but the cult of personality machine that has been a bed partner with popular music and which is an important part of the "business" is going to have to come from somewhere - if not real flesh and blood humans then AI created avatars or human "stand-ins" for the music - sort of like the Monkees were.
