Sadlylifes41u · x · 2026-09-21
In this exchange on AI and music-making, one side mocks a future where artists just prompt a "1000-agent swarm" to iterate tracks; the other argues musicians are underutilizing AI because of stigma.
The core point: even if you never generate full "slop" tracks, using AI to generate samples and loops—then adding FX and working normally—is barely different from pulling a sample from a pack. AI is just one more source of material.
