The rapid advancement of AI in music is frightening because it threatens to eventually render human roles in creative industries obsolete.

“At some point, podcasting and journalism and and paperw writing and everything is just going to book authors, all that [ __ ] is going to be gone if we if it goes down this road. And that just scares me.”

AI music is a significant concern that requires regulation or a unified response to protect the music business.

“This is why something has to be done about this. You can't just go steal Whitney's voice.”

AI-generated music is a destructive force that cannot be considered art because it lacks a human soul.

“AI art is not art. AI cannot create art. By definition, art is a reflection of the human soul. It comes from our hearts. It comes from our from our souls.”

AI is an inevitable tool that can assist with creative concepts and time efficiency, but it will never be able to fully emulate the human soul.

“I feel like once again, it's a tool that I feel like is absolutely going to be necessary. It's in the beginning of it. And I feel like there's kinks that need to be worked out, like everything in life. But I also understand the importance of it now.”

Mae Estes believes that competing with AI for revenue and opportunities is detrimental to working artists who are grinding to grow their careers.

“now we're competing with robots for that revenue? Like I think that's my biggest part is the business part of this thing drives me insane.”

Artificial intelligence acts as a tool or assistant for artists that, when used with proper instructions and technical knowledge, allows them to create and distribute music effectively.

“it's like having a personal secretary so if you know how to use it then you can bring about your message but if you put in the promp and say I don't know what Yeah. People use make a make a dance all song >> and it's spit back there.”
