This, sadly, is already my biggest fear as to the future of music. And it’s already happening a lot. They already signed an “AI character” to a major booking agency for “appearances.” There was already a AI artist and song that already charted on billboard late last year.

If labels manage to survive this next shift in music and start making their own AI artsts…. I really don’t know.

Jesus. Bring back analog radio #music.

Glad I kept my music CDs. I have hundreds of them.

@BoloMKXXVIII same. Do not get rid of your physical collection.

@ErickaSimone
Getting rid of my CD collection is a job for my family once I am dead.
Show threadEricka SimoneMar 18
@BoloMKXXVIII and then tell your family to send it DIRECTLY TO ME.

My collection is rather eclectic: Vivaldi, Kansas, Dwight Yoakam, Bob Rivers, B-52s, Beatles, Sawyer Fredricks, Supertramp, just to name a few.

@BoloMKXXVIII so basically you have excellent taste in music, like I thought. I’m definitely taking that b-52 collection TODAY if you don’t want it. lol.

I think you forgot about my previous response: "Getting rid of my CD collection is a job for my family once I am dead."

@BoloMKXXVIII @ErickaSimone CDs and vinyl, and going to see live music.

(And I’m gonna be suspicious of CDs and even vinyl released after about 2022 - these days I almost only buy physical media at merch desks at live gigs.)

I have some angst about DJs and electronic music, I enjoy House and Techno and Trance, but there’s no real way to work out if what DJs play in sets is AI tainted….

@ErickaSimone @BoloMKXXVIII Because of AI slop in streaming, I dusted off my old "stereo" CD player and turntable a few years ago and have been getting back into physical media again. I buy media from artists at shows I go to, to help them out more directly when I can.

Don't forget thrift shops. Lots of CDs available for cheap. Unfortunately, they rarely have them organized.

@ErickaSimone @BoloMKXXVIII we must say NO to AI in music industry. We must educate and act, right now, there is no time to waste :/
