Episode notes
Use AI To Make Production Easier For Novices
- Rebecca recommended using AI to make creative work more accessible and efficient, for example AI mixing/mastering for novices and tools that simplify image editing.
- She gave concrete examples: novice music masters using AI and Adobe Firefly enabling more accurate Photoshop edits.
Artists Use Custom AI To Create New Forms
- Rebecca described Weckenator-style work: tools connecting physical movement to sound helped kids with disabilities create instruments.
- She also cited artists like Sofia Crespo and Stephanie Dinkins training bespoke AIs to produce novel images and multi-generational memoir sculptures.
Creative Mixing Remains A Human Judgment
- Jonathan argued mixing is subjective and AI can't replace human producers' artistic decisions, suggesting core creative roles resist automation.
- He emphasized on-set, in-studio choices and musicians' subjective preferences that AI tools cannot fully replicate.
