Tommy Thomas - #25 from 100 drummers I’ve seen and heard (Live) in my lifetime.

Keith Jarrett - Rick Beato - his presence as super influencer. Great interview to get Keith on these topics. Fantastic

Influencers-Brands-content etc……..this guy is always on it……,

This person is an “influencer” teenagers say this is their most want to be gig…(social media influencer)….I’ve seen this influencers video’s before, she’s very good. Maybe of interest?

Ai = open the Door/hatch Hal! Can’t do it Dave, I hate you……..

Ai / my original photo into generated video : my text included louvre, paris, photograph,

Ai- art ? Is it worth it? Solid points pertaining to creative “humans” continuing their journey.

Episode 6 - Bobby Caldwell Show with Captain Beyond

Photo to video + ai / this is my 1986? Posing for Neanderthal Yodeler project. The ai cleans up the dirt, etc. it’s an original 35 mill film slide. Kind of interesting, I typed in the word (robot)

This ain’t me, but I wrote it. A short excerpt to see what this program will do. .? He looks better than me, that’s a fact.

Artist and ai = I watched it all, very very well made and ri = real intelligence, certainly many issues in legal and ethical areas to be sorted out.

15 year old ai text to video.

Mubert=more lame ai music, easier than ever, it’s like Napster again, composers should have made better music, instead of plug n play formula genre…

Ai = Bob Dylan + entertainment + refrigeration + ChatGPT + Glenn Gould + Whippings + Crucifixions

Ai animation….this has something I’m interested in. Very impressive.

True Genius - not ai…….

Ai video to video - really interesting, coming to your computer

Text to music- goodbye lame composer, your cookie cutter music formula has been duplicated.

Ai text to video, this ain’t The Jetsons…1960s.

ai music for video, quick and cheap, the end is near.

ChatGPT writes a melody…….

Your gig doing voice over has ended. Ai took your jab man……

ChatGPT - my take of it so far, not that it matters.

Ai - Joe and Elon…..recent chat about ai…..

ChatGPT - part 3 , another copy and paste video from a real person. Accept no substitute.

Ai and musicians- something to think about, maybe plan for.

ChatGPT - part two - this is a nuts and bolts info video about who the company is, but it also drops some names about new companies that could dominate the ai industry. Worth the watch.

ChatGPT - part one

The Dark Future of Music - she has some very good points and predictions…….

I watched the Super Bowl - so what you say / I agree.

Burt Bacharach - the music speaks for itself. (RIP) 2023
