My reasoning was, and is, that I can try so hard to max my skills, be creative, spend years learning guitar, buy a shit ton of studio equipment, and will never be "the best" or adequately communicate, uniquely who I am in that respect.
Connected with an old friend today on Facebook after my original Facebook account got hacked a few years ago.
We talked about music, our original bond from back in the day, and I admitted to the fact that I don't do it anymore.
My reasoning was, and is, that I can try so hard to max my skills, be creative, spend years learning guitar, buy a shit ton of studio equipment, and I will never be "the best" or adequately communicate, uniquely who I am in that respect.
My claims to fame, which aren't much at all, are easily forgotten, nobody cares, and I put a lot of work into those songs. Now, you can bypass all of that with AI, tell it what you want, and call it a day. No studios, no producers, no hours/days/months/years of recording & editing, just snap your fingers.
If you go on social media and watch these kids playing the instruments that I struggled for years to play, it'll make you want to throw your ambitions into the trash.
There is the "live" aspect, I guess people can recite the songs that were created via AI for that part of the equation, but I was never into that. I just wanted to create something and that was the end of my personal ambition with song writing & playing instruments, $30,000 plus later at the time, for pretty much nothing.
The "live" memories that we grew up with will be replaced by DJs, or even VR, if you're still hungry for social interaction.
