Speaker 1 (00:00):
B ninety three Morning show. I'm Ali Max and I Mike.
Here are three things you should know today if you
live in Muskegan. So sorry about this, but your water
bill just went up. The city approved a five percent
increase to help cover rising costs and chip away at
pandemic era debt. That's about two to four dollars more
a month for the average household, so not a ton,
(00:22):
but still that's the wrong direction. Yeah, another rate hike
likely coming next year. WK Kellogg, Battle Creek based cereal
company might be getting scooped up by the makers of nutella,
Reports say Italian company Ferrero. You ever had a Ferrero rochet?
Mm mm so good? Those little like chocolate hazelnut what
(00:44):
are they truffles? I guess they come in like the
gold wrapping. Oh no, in the like plastic box.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I think. I feel like my grandma used to have
a like a candy jar full of like that and
Werthers and like all these random candies, but like really they.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Felt really Yes, the fancy can be yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
I never tried it, but it sounds really good. Yeah. Well,
Ferrero close to buying Kellogg for three billion, and when
the news was announced, that this might be a thing
that's happening. Kellogg shares jumped just after a couple of
years the company split its cereal and snack division, So
that's kind of an interesting thing too. Not one percent
(01:23):
sure the deal. The ink's not dry on this, but
you know, it's looking like they just got to cross
some teas and dots some eyes there.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I wouldn't mind a Nattella cereal like that sounds not
too much, not too much to tell.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Which a little split. We're not far away from those factories. Yeah,
they're just you know, hopping a skip.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So that's what I don't want is I don't want
them to take it or buy it and then move.
I can take it out of here.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I don't think they'll move. You don't think so?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
No, Okay, well then that's fine, man.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, just as long as they keep making my pop tarts.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You tell a pop tart.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
That was when I knew I had made it was
when we were talking up one time about like I
eat pop tarts. It's like kind of a problem that
I have because it's such a habit. And my favorite
are the brown sugar cinnamon. And someone from Kalog was
listening that day and they dropped off like a huge
box of brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts and it was
(02:17):
fresh off the line. What and they were like, these
will change your life? They did, you can seriously tell
the difference.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
What. Yeah, Well, then in that case, I love s'mores,
the s'mor kind or the strawberry originals with some butter
on top of it. Oh, just if you're listening.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
That's three things you should know. Here is one you
probably shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
This is kind of a wild story. There is a
band and their name is it's a rock band. The
name is Velvet Sundown. They have an album that just
dropped floating Echo on Echoes, featured a hit single, Dust
on the Wind. It's millions of five huge streaming numbers.
(03:04):
Everybody's like, this is like one of those growing rock
bands in an arrow where rock isn't necessarily huge right now,
right Like, it's hard to find new stuff that's really great.
Turns out they might not even be real. Nobody can
seem to find a touring date, nobody can seem to
have ever met them. Their pictures look just.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
A little bit off right, just a little bit off.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
They're not real.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It's an AI project.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It is a synthetic synthetic music project with minimal human oversight,
calling it an artistic provocation about authorship and identity in
the AI area or era. Excuse me, that's wild an
entire band. I don't like this because the question has
(03:52):
been brought up in this article. How many tracks are
out there that we don't know about that have AI
on them? How many tracks have there been with AI
that would know was AI?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Because this isn't like you're a songwriter and you have
writers block, so you hit up chat GPT to sort
of like help you flush out some lyrics.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That's a tool to assist. Yeah, no, that's different.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's yes to me, that's different. It's like a calculator.
But this minimal human oversight? How minimal?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Ask?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah? That it seems like none, like absolutely, like maybe
they just they look at it and go, oh, their
finger looks a little weird in this picture. Let's adjust
the picture. Or the beat is a little the songs
maybe a little long, and they have to chop the
ends to make sure that it fits a time constraint,
you know what I mean? Very minimal and I don't
I don't think that's a good I think that's a
terrible idea. I think this is this is awful, and
(04:44):
it could take money away from like people who've been
working on this their entire life.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And what's the point of that, Because we hear from
artists so often that you know, they don't really make
money from the streaming. They don't really make money from
any thing except selling merch on tour.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, yeah, that's the biggest. Tour is the biggest. That's
that'll be where AI dies.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So what music point of this? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Critics say the music sounds generic and soulless but fits
perfectly as background playlists and relaxing tunes. I don't know.
Maybe the like I could see it for like a movie, right,
although that is still taking people's jobs sort of, But
like if you just needed some movie music and you
wanted just something created really quick you don't really need,
you don't like it.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
I draw the line at AI bands and artists. I
don't know why that bothers me so much, because, like
you know, I use AI, I use chat, GPT and
stuff for certain things, but for this feels so gross
to me.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It is it is one hundred percent, one hundred and
fifty percent because, like you said, it's different if they
were changing it to like or using it to change
up a lyric to make it just flow better.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, that's different. Yeah, agreed.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
This is this is a whole band. These aren't real people.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
They're not getting paid.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
They didn't try at this. It's just a.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Computer dislike thumbs down. B ninety three Sports.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Tigers lost to their final game in the three game
series with Tampa Bay seven to three. They're off today
back Friday against Seattle, which you can hear on our
sister station, Wood Radio at six forty five.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Mentioned earlier that if you are on air mic from
the b naety three Morning Show, today is your Friday. Yes,
you are headed off on a big trip this weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm pretty pretty nervous, but also very excited.
