Music Workers Alliance

We are an org of musicians, DJs, & engineers. MWA's members work in many genres but are unified by collective struggle for a world where our work is valued.

This! Stop with the fake analogies. AI is not like the camera. It’s not like recorded music. It’s not like the printing press. AI is rooted in exploitation. It could not exist in the absence of existing works. It is wholly derivative.

[neil turkewitz @neilturkewitz]

“The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you.”

[neil turkewitz @neilturkewitz]

While Joe & I come from very different places, I always appreciate his thoughtful views on AI, & the dangers of acquiescing to the dilution of our agency. IMHO, the best way of demystifying AI is to focus on the inputs rather than the outputs—revealing the emperor’s nakedness.
