I forget which came first. Maybe it was the DJ software, that helped aspiring DJs mix digital tracks without the traditional knowledge of matching beat tempos with analog sliders on the turntables.

Perhaps it was the sampler and sequencing recording software, that cleaned up the timing on instrument recordings. You barely needed to know how to play to get a pretty good sounding track, with the instruments in their respective timing.

I was a little pissed about both of those software breakthroughs. I had put a lot of time in learning the disciplines that were now less important. However, I was able to use both technologies to create some great sounding projects, eventually.

I'm sure that's a pretty common adoption cycle. I'm reminded those times as I hear different things about chatGPT. I feel a little bit different this time around, as the software breakthrough is a lot closer to home than musicianship.

Is this an opportunity for people to be unleashed creatively? Is this a propaganda and spam automation tool? I'm not sure, and its probably both of those and many other things that I can't even imagine.

Thanks for your attention. I'm inspired to share my thoughts here on nostr. This feels like our world. I'm honored to participate in this renaissance.
