Saying that “Anyone who uses AI is not a Musician” is RIDICULOUS.

I’m a musician.

I play drums, piano, violin and saxophone.

I can make music with ANYTHING.

I can make music with by beatboxing

I can make music by banging on a table

I can make music with a rubber band.

I can make music with two turn tables and a mic.

I can make music with ANYTHING.

Even AI .

It doesn’t matter the tool.

I’m gonna make music with it.

Because THAT’S what a musician is.

Someone who makes MUSIC.

@imjamesbytheway I don't understand how they could screw up Iron First so bad. lol

Every time a new AI release updates, all the tech bros post that it’s a game changer. Now it’s ChatGPT Image 2.0 - Gamechanger they say. So I upload my profile pic and ask for headshots and it gives me this. WHO IS THIS PERSON?

[Eric Campbell @ericmakesmusic]

The pundits were wrong.
My feed is NOT filled with AI slop.
Instead, it’s filled with tech bros telling me I how to use AI slop to get rich. 🙄

I wrote a full breakdown with screenshots and email examples on the CTRL Camp blog.

If you're a musician trying to navigate sync licensing, you shouldn't be doing it alone.

A sync licensing scam is hitting the community hard right now.

Fake emails from "Position Music," "Marmoset," and "Massive Music."

Real company names. Real terminology. Phone calls. Licensing agreements.

Then they ask for an upfront fee.

That's the scam.

Full breakdown 🧵👇

How to protect yourself:
•Check the FULL sender email address
•Go to the company's real website to verify
•Never pay an upfront fee — ever
•Ask someone before you sign anything
•Research the company beyond Google

@Kate9675 @paramountplus The last time this happened, I think it was an issue between the studio and the production company that owned the rights

[Eric Campbell @ericmakesmusic]

@CenaEra_17 @Kate9675 @paramountplus I doubt it. I’m guessing days not hours. But just a guess.

What happens when you write a jingle for a product that doesn’t exist?

Fake ads aren’t just for laughs — they’re a powerful way to show how music works in context.

I put together a parody spot for a product that doesn’t exist (Goldfish Grills) to highlight the syncability of my track.

Funny thing is, it came out so strong it almost feels like a real campaign.

Would you greenlight this?
