In doing research for my book (about music & AI, published next year by Routledge). I'm struck by how often societies have been in the same place we are now with AI (the camera rendering painting obsolete is my favorite). AI is just a new technology; how we use it is up to us. Maybe I'm an optimist but I see artists & the industry managing it much better than we did during file sharing.
I agree AI won’t replace culture (can’t remember your exact words) but if anyone’s using AI expecting it to replace “culture”, imo they’re just wasting their time-there are so many other alternatives,opportunities and creative possibilities that AI presents,just get on board.

I completely agree. But I'm sure the people at Suno etc will tell you their music generation platform is the dawning of a new age for music culture 😆
