- Generative AI Ain't Got Nothing on This
- description
- After chatting with Alex, I thought a lot about the mind-body split, and how much of music and creativity is internalized in the body, instead of localized in the head. So much of what we do isn't rules-based or even logical, and a walk in nature can have as much (or greater) effect on creativity as practice. Can AI possibly keep up with I?

- In this introspective solo episode of Love Music More, I dive into the complex relationship between the mind and body in music creation, a theme from my recent conversation with Alex Delacada. While generative AI has made remarkable strides, I argue that it fundamentally lacks the ability to recreate the nuanced, embodied experiences that musicians go through. I reflect on the beauty and struggles of being an artist, illustrating the profound connection between physical practice, artistic intuition, and the authentic human experience behind music creation.

- To say that you've created generative AI that can match that, I call BS. There’s no computer that will go through that level of pain that musicians go through every day.
