Episode 45: Getting Into the Music AI Sandbox

On this episode we dive into two stories at the intersection of music and AI. We’ll start with legendary producer ⁠Wyclef Jean⁠ and his positive experience using the ⁠Music AI Sandbox⁠, focusing on his belief that AI should be an “enhancement tool” that pushes human creativity to be “the most creative.” Then, we’ll switch to the story of the AI-generated Japanese metal band ⁠Neon Oni⁠, breaking down the deception by creator “Kage,” the fan scrutiny, and the surprising pivot to hiring ⁠actual human musicians to perform⁠ the AI-generated songs live. Let’s get into it.
