The moment you believe you have discovered "The Truth;" is the moment when you stop searching for truth and start looking for supporting evidence.

@edubnewjeruz @Issybeatz_ You too mate.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

Remember when Rock & Roll wasn't "real music".

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

@edubnewjeruz @Issybeatz_ Sure and in the same spirit - samples, autotune, over compressions = less pure music, less authentic than "real music". Which can only be experienced unplugged, with the musician channeling the aether through them.

Everything else is imitation.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

Yes, have you ever covered a song, extracted the stems and used it like a glorified VST library? Cuz that's what I'm doing.

Sure you can write "make me song about X" but if you're a real musician - you'll use it in creative ways. All I'm saying is, don't discredit if you don't know the full range of applications of this tech within the creative workflow.

Hell, you want a melody that you got in your head? Whistle into SUNO, click "cover", select - "Instrument" and set it to whatever instrument you want with the groove and attitude you want and whammo - You got a perfect copy of what you had in your head which you can now use in your full arrangement.

Folks need to stop being so myopic about the application of this tech. The music industry already merged with the tech, Suno is going to release their first "Studio Trained model" in the next few months.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

That's what I'm saying.

Everyone can point at everyone and call it "not music" OR we could just do what we want to do and let everyone else do the same.

I am a musician, I've been playing music since I was 6. I also experiment with AI generated stems, mess around with genres, etc.

To automatically dismiss the creative processes of others just because of a medium was the original point I was making.

I do think beat making. Sampling, compressing, editing, etc - all are considered creative. My point is that why all the hate.

I just mirrored it.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

You expressed zero creativity in using someone else's work in your own arrangement.

The drum beat isn't original, the arrangement is someone else's work.

It's as close to gen ai as it gets.

People just keep on shifting the goal post.

My initial point was from the perspective of a "real musician" - someone who can actually play an instrument and carry a pitch - and their critique of using samples, loops, autotune, etc.

From a classical musicians perspective - all of electronically derived music technically is a cop out.

But now that gen AI is in the arena, beat makers are suddenly these organic artistic purists.

It's all bs because they feel threatened.
Have you actually ever created a good work with gen AI? Or is it garbage without ever testing legitimately?

@cfryant @jameszimmermann Congratulations! You've been nominated for this years' "Dad Joke Awards!"

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

Cmon @Youtube - there's still some edge cases out there. Do you guys need some assistance with PR? I'm available and speak "Creator".

[RealCapy @RealCapy]

I've been quiet about this for too long and I need to break my silence.

I lost all 4 of my YouTube channels and I did nothing wrong. This haunts me every single day. YouTube is not just a job for me, it is my passion. 3 years of hard work, 3 years of consistency, 3 years of building something I genuinely love, and it was all gone overnight because of someone else's mistake.

I run a Roblox channel where I heavily edit my own gameplay. Everything is original and clean. No AI, no copied content, just real work I put in every single day. This is also how I pay my bills.

What I believe happened is that I posted a video with a title almost identical to one I posted the day before. That's it. YouTube's AI flagged it as spam and removed my channel for "Spam and Deceptive Practices" with no warning and no strike. Just gone overnight.

But here's where it got worse. Because all my channels are connected to the same AdSense account, that one wrongful removal triggered everything else like a domino effect.

Channel 1 — removed for spam and deceptive practices
Channel 2 — removed for circumvention policy
Main channels — suspended for related channel violation

4 channels. All gone. Because of one AI false positive.

I appealed and it was rejected almost instantly. I reached out on Twitter before and got the same copy-paste response every time saying the decision is final. I don't believe a real human ever looked at my case.

I am not a spammer. I am a real creator who built something from nothing and relied on this platform to survive. Similar titles happen all the time in the gaming niche. That is not spam.

If you've read this far please retweet and tag @TeamYouTube . This could happen to any creator. All I'm asking for is one real human to review my case fairly. 3 years of my life should not disappear because of an AI mistake.

@TeamYouTube @YouTubeCreators please hear me out.

Read the full blog and begin to understand how to turn your viewers into buyers in an ethical non-salesy way.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

Many creators over the past few months learned a valuable lesson - they don't own their audience!

What's more, even though they get vanity metrics in the backend of Youtube or whatever platform they are building on, they don't have any control over what they can DO with this data.

I go in depth about this problem and how to solve it. Check the first comment for the blog 👇

@briscoepark There's a term for this kind of thinking: Bigot.

Look it up in the dictionary then put on the mantle and proudly be one.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

@asaio87 I mean yes. But no two people prompt the same nor do they have the knowledge on how to leverage it.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

@alexdanilowicz Please explain to me "How" you would let AI write for you?

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

@programmarchy @alexdanilowicz Writing a 3000 word essay on lawn chairs for seo purposes either.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

You say that but pre-ai that was the #1 complain on Amazon.

People would say, get an editor, learn to write, get a ghost writer.

People were always bitching about it and probably have no clue they consumed AI writing because the good writers know how to make it sound like them.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

@SpaceWelder314 @netleaf2 @alexdanilowicz I have an agent I trained on my work - writes beautifully. Now all I do is sit down, voice record my thoughts, get some supporting research and then let my digital ghost writer take care of the rest.

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

@mrniceguy496 @farukguney @alexdanilowicz Obviously you aren't a "Mr nice guy".

[Jeandre Gerber @JeandreGerber]

I have noche related digital products for my channel I created, but the afore mentioned method is 2 ways.

You can also do partnerships, memberships, and services as a means of leveraging your channel.

In other words, become a legitimate business and turn YouTube into distribution.

Then add IG, TikTok and the rest of the platforms as your distribution layer and continue doing what you typically do.

If the product/service is aligned with the buyer in the audience - you'll get a sale.
