I have loved music since I was a kid. One of my distinct memories is lying on the floor in front of one of the speakers of my dad’s stereo system and listening to albums we had checked out of the library.
Anyways, music has changed for sure. Some of it for the better and some of it not. I was looking for new music for the Satoshi’s Plebs podcast - we play v4v music every week at the end of the show and any sats streamed or boosted during the song go to the artist.
I thought I found a new artist and started listening. Really nice - over-engineered but that’s normal these days. Great voice - almost too great.
Then I looked at the artwork and the picture of the artist. Hmmm that doesn’t look right.
Wait .. is this all ai generated? From all the artwork and such I would almost bet on it. After listening to the music for a while I do think it was all ai.
I try not to be that grumpy old man. Really. But I’m not sure how I feel about this..
In the one hand it takes talent to do this type of work. But it seems deceptive to me. And live music has always been part of the music experience. Certainly won’t be happening in this case..
What are your thoughts? Should I even consider putting something like this as a v4v show ending segment for our podcast?
