Dom,

If AI (not) eliminating humans was your main point, I did miss that, and I apologize, and I agree.

When you went with "Sinatra" it seemed you thought that was the only voice the AI could do--so I felt the need to make sure you understood the AI's scope; and when you said AI will be good at background music, podcasts, and jingles, I was just trying to help you understand it won't be limited to those uses when "visionaries" get their hands on the AI.

But I definitely agree with your main point. Who would want music played by real people to go away, anyway? I think there's room for all kinds of ways to make art, music, videos...and if I seem to promote one thing, I didn't mean for it to be at the expense of another.

PS...you know what's depressing? How HARD it can be, to communicate clearly...most of the problems I've had in my life come from being on the giving AND receiving end of that equation...

Mike
