R&S Adaptive TechnologiesBack in the 1990s, I wrote a short story called Lessons from the Wild. Last year, I decided to transform that story into a song, bringing its message to life in a whole new way. Now, I’m taking the next step on this journey, researching how to create a video to pair with the song.
Lyrics are mine, Music by “Music AI” video draft from “Chat GPt”.
Check out this song, I wrote the lyrics, but the music and voice came from AI.
While the results are cool, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable about how easy the process was.
It’s concerning to me how quickly technology like this could overshadow genuine creativity. For me, writing the words felt like such a small contribution, it’s hard to take much credit.
Although, besides writing the words there are ways to control the flow, using symbols, formatting, and annotations to provide structure and clarity.
I wonder what true musicians think about this. Does creating with AI stifle creativity? Or is it just another tool to push boundaries?

I find myself wishing for a simpler time. I think I could have been happy living like Jed and Granny. Instead I have spent a lifetime in the city.
Longing for peace / quiet, a couple of horses and several more dogs!

You can tell a lot about a man by the things that make him angry

Ellis helped me to get over my snow skiing accident. I lost much strength and balance from hitting the tree. It was a 6 year journey getting back to reasonably competent mobility before getting Ellis and soon after regained my confidence.

The years I played Beep baseball were a blast. I developed friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
I wish I could have known then how quick those days would come and go. We should cherishe them all. When you are living the moment as a young person you have no idea how fast life will fly by.
Enjoy the small things as they will be the memories you will cherish forever.
