Rick Beato, Everything is a Remix – Philosophics

Bry Willis from "Philosophics" presents an argument challenging the notion of originality in art, particularly in the context of AI-generated music. The author contends that all creative works are inherently derivative, built upon previous influences, and therefore, AI's ability to remix and reinterpret at speed does not diminish its artistic validity. The piece refutes the idea that human suffering or effort grants a monopoly on artistic meaning, suggesting that criticism of AI music often stems from a distaste for mediocrity rather than a problem with the technology itself. Ultimately, the author posits that AI exposes the formulaic nature of much human creativity, urging artists to adapt and utilise AI as another tool rather than resisting its emergence.https://philosophics.blog/2025/07/15/rick-beato-everything-is-a-remix/
