AI Music: What Will Be The Last Song We Listen To Together?
from Thinking On Paper · host Mark Fielding and Jeremy Gilbertson
Nicholas Ponari says AI music makes live performance more valuable, not less. Mark Fielding calls the same future a hellscape.Ponari's scenario: by 2045 his son types a script into a generator, gets a feature film in the style of Kubrick crossed with Tarantino, and hits publish. Everyone becomes a creator in every medium. Nobody can consume a fraction of it, so AI becomes the largest curator in history.Mark's objection is that shared culture dies with it. No song anyone else has heard. No film anyone else has seen. Nothing left to talk about.Ponari's answer is scarcity. When everything is generated, the things that cannot be, a room, a crowd, live music, become more valuable than ever.Who's right?Full episode at thinkingonpaper.xyz.Be curious, stay disruptive.--Thinking on Paper is a technology podcast about AI, Space, quantum computing, science, and the systems shaping your life.
