Tough Comments on My Take on AI in the Creative Disciplines

In this video, I address some thought-provoking comments and questions from viewers regarding my recent videos on generative artificial intelligence and its impact on creative disciplines. The first part of the video delves into the philosophical debate on whether AI can truly replicate human creativity and art, with some arguing that great art is spiritual and cannot be imitated by machines, while others believe that AI could potentially replace humans altogether. I also discuss the potential socio-economic divide that may arise due to the loss of entry-level jobs in creative industries, as AI takes over tasks that were once accessible to those with limited skills or resources.

The second part of the video focuses on the technical aspects of using AI-generated music tracks and the challenges of processing and enhancing them using various plugins and techniques. I share my experience working with Udio tracks and respond to viewers' suggestions on how to achieve better output, such as using AI splitters and re-sequencing parts. Additionally, I address the misconception that AI is stealing from human composers and musicians, explaining how AI training works and drawing parallels to how humans learn and get inspired by art without necessarily stealing it. The video concludes with an open question on the future of AI in creative work and its implications for the industry.
