Those are great. Thanks for sending those tracks to our future from your past! Ahah. I guess technically we're all time-travelling. We're just doing it in a single direction and more or less the same speed. A.I content, it's a tricky topic. I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I embrace technology (and our new A.I overlords), but on the other hand, if things move too fast too far without proper safeguards, it will cause many problems. But regarding creative content specifically, I think it's rather pointless for people to use A.I to create everything for them. What's the point of creativity then if we bypass it and let machines do it for us? In addition, if A.I uses elements from existing images, this can create copyright problems. But in some regard, A.I content could be useful and helpful if done right and with proper safeguards and proper credits given.

I'm pretty sure things have already moved far, fast, and with almost no safeguards. My concern is less about people using AI to create things for personal use (or, I guess, commercial) and more about media production companies having that 'lightbulb over the head' moment when they realize AI doesn't get residuals or royalties or need paid or sleep or complain about revisions. It's also true that some of the AI/generative tools out there can enhance creativity and work with/for artists. But it's all going to change the game, more than it already has.

Hey! I've finally gotten around to checking your posts, I haven't had much time lately. Thanks as always for sharing your awesome tracks! Regarding AI, at first I was excited about the creative possibilities but now I'm quite worried, like many artists are. The thing I'm most excited about is the possibility of "generative storytelling", like for example automatically adapting the plot or environment of a videogame so it better reflects the actions of a player. That gives a lot of possibilities. But on the other hand AI doesn't innovate, it only copies, so AI-generated content will always be lacking a human touch to be truly moving, it will tend to reinforce harmful stereotypes, and it will (in fact it already has) devalue the work of many artists and creators (this includes actors and voice actors!). I don't think we can fight or prevent this, thinking on it it's the natural conclusion of all technological advances made until now, but it should be heavily regulated so the rights of artists are respected. I don't know. We'll have to see what happens. Hopefully it will be the same as when photography was invented, and it will just shift stuff around a little but people will still be able to create art as they did before, just with more possibilities on the table. I hope...
