Brilliant convo between three of my favorite people in the AI music space. @dadabots have a refreshing, mind bending take on the space and Mark is the perfect host, with a deep knowledge of music, culture, tech and AI.
AI music is "the collective consciousness through a hall of
mirrors." - @dadabots
Each generated track reflects training data warped through layers of algorithmic interpretation.

Google Magenta @GoogleMagenta RealTime + music sentiment analysis + prompt block game = A twist on the lo-fi anime girl.
👉 You need to play to keep her studying.
If the music gets too quiet → she falls asleep 😴
If it’s too danceable → she starts dancing 💃

Human music history works the same way. Genre fusion, cultural collision, artistic influence. All mirrors reflecting mirrors.
@dadabots live performances make this visible. When they generate "twinkle trap" or "ghost pepper salsa" in real-time, they're not just making new sounds. They're revealing how creativity has always worked.

Question for musicians & music-tech folks: What's your ideal AI music workflow?
AI plugins in DAWs?
Native AI-DAWs?
Desktop/mobile/web?
Non-DAW interface?
I think there's opportunity to rethink AI music workflows to be more dynamic. Thoughts?

I wrote in praise of slop. In this essay, I surveyed a few moments from the past to argue that popular commentary about AI art looks more like a defence of cultural authority than of artistic integrity 🎭

We’ve put 12.4 million of the most beautiful images in the public domain into an image-text dataset with community governance.
Public Domain 12M is completely free. Its 30+ terabytes of images are hosted on AWS, so downloading them is fast and won’t negatively impact the cultural heritage organizations who originally shared them.

Ted Chiang's essay made some good points about art and intentionality, but it is premature to debate about AI making art. For now, AI doesn't exist autonomously. Humans make art with AI models trained on humans.
We train our own models on our own datasets. This project took 18 months to prompt. I see making models as art.

When something generates enough steam to warrant people writing long essays about how it’s not art, it’s probably art
Live coding vs DAW:
According to live-coder/music produce R Tyler, live coders (algoravers) are not bound by developer decisions and restrictions in making music/tools. To a special kind of artist, this is attractive and liberating.
