And as far as the Fender stuff, we've moved on. We're mad at D'addario now.



What did those poor bastards do to piss off Rick Beato?

More claims of AI being used in an ad. TBH, the music was, let's say, not my cup of tea however it was created. Very odd choice for an ad for strings.

Yes! I should have thought of this one! Ive loved this song since it came out.

Appreciate your reply, but I’ll agree to disagree. I run a home studio as well and, sure, there’s not as much demo work to be done. But as someone else said, those who are using it to promote as something they organically built are going to be weeded out and the people who are serious are doubling down on real players, real engineers, real people.

The “Just the tip” argument

It’s never “just the tip”

Everyone seems to have a way of justifying their own use of something at the expense of others. Never realizing that others re justifying their own use use of the same thing at the expense of them.

I’ve seen musicians make AI videos for their songs saying they can’t afford to make their own videos.

Then some of those same people will decry when producers and directors use AI music for their projects claiming they can’t afford musicians.

IMO you cannot try to justify your own use of AI ON ANY LEVEL, then complain about others using it, whether on a similar level or not. There is absolutely no way to govern “how much AI is ok”.

It’s never just the tip.

The genie has left the barn. The horse is out of the bottle.

I was recently in the new car market. I had it down to a Mustang GT (I was then driving an older Mustang GT) or the Model 3 Premium. I ended up with the Model 3. It was $10k less and is faster than the Mustang. Another factor was the house I recently purchased already had Solar. So I charge my car with the sun and don’t have to pay $6+ a gallon in gas for a car that *might* get 18mpg. Oil changes? A thing of the past.

While the Mustang is undoubtedly better looking, I really don’t have any regrets.

I don’t subscribe to FSD but have gotten 2 months free. I was skeptical but it is amazing. And yes, if every car on the road were using it, we could travel faster and things would be incredibly safer.

If they make enough in college to set them up, they just be pretty good and would likely get good money in the pros.

Now if someone makes a lot in college and gets hurt toward the end of their last year, then I could see them not going pro.

Bought an electric mower a year ago and it does the job just fine. No need for oil or gas, just charge up the battery every so often.

The only regret I have is not getting one of those robotic lawn mowers.
