How are you feeling right now about AI's growth in the creative industries?

Okay, because I know about zero about producing a song or producing music, can you talk a little bit just practically about how AI is being used, or AI tools, I should say, just not like AI broadly, but AI tools are being used in your work, in your line of work?

So essentially you can use it as a starting point or you have a starting point.

You're like, hey, this is a musical phrase or here's a chord I really like or tell me, yeah, kind of walk me through.

Yeah, for sure.

That's already hard to avoid without AI, right?

Do you feel like, and I guess we're going to, I feel like I'm already teasing what's coming ahead.

But do you feel as though there's still something ineffable about the human soul that gets worked into music that AI can't quite touch?

Does it matter that we can't, that soon?

I mean, I know you can probably detect the difference, right, between artificial music and that which was created by humans.

But to be fair, there's also really bad pop songs that are written by humans.

does it matter though do you think that to the audiences or to the industry i sir i guess wait i'm answering my own question because it would matter to the industry because if it gets cheaper to write music what happens to the artists yeah the artists you know i feel like the artists are safe um i feel like more for creatives um just once they figure out all the new laws around the copyrights and stuff

Yeah, and you mentioned regulation.

Regulation famously is so many years behind how technology is developing.

Are there certain guardrails or what would be certain guardrails that you would like to see to protect creatives and creative work?

You also kind of nodded to this already.

What happens to the pipeline?

You know, you're talking about musicians being able to create a certain sound or who are really tied to whatever they, what is distinct about them.

I mean, I'm thinking of film directors who are similar as well.

Like when you see a Wes Anderson movie, you know it's a Wes Anderson movie.
