Comment on Jensen Huang Is Begging You to Stop Being So Negative About AI

Friendly rebuttal. I don’t like this version either because of two reasons. First is that it is still using stolen material to do any of this “creative work”. Second: the knob twiddling, mixing colors, and all versions of that are integral to the creation process. Happy accidents are why we have a lot of what we have in the creative world. Somone chasing a specific sound might discover their own sound while twiddling away for hours. They will be able to do that in a much more replicable and modifyable way than the black box that is “AI”. But that’s just my opinion as an amature creative.

It’s part of the creative process, but it’s also it’s own rabbit hole. 😉 I do like having 42 simulated amps and 56 simulated effects pedals on tap without spending 10s of thousands of dollars, but fiddling with them is it’s own deal aside from playing and is, apparently, never ending. LOL.

But OTOH, if I want to try my hand at a specific song, I can get there without having to research every last bit of tech that went into it.

You’re right though, locking in “my own sound” is still do-able. The manual selection is all still there.

  it’s also it’s own rabbit hole. I quit all that tech & dozens of learning curves when I realized I was spending more time on that than on music. Think how technically shitty that record ‘Louis, Louis’ was, yet it got covered thousands of times. Can’t ‘quantize’ or ‘EQ’ or ‘reverb’ or ‘mike arrange’ a great song.

    One of my favorite artists has his gear list on his website:

    “Pickup Who knows what they put in those things?
    
    DI Who cares?”
    
    LOL.
