You want artificial intelligence to help with your work. David Usher helps you question whether the future being sold to you serves the same purpose. Building AI himself hasn't made him comfortable with everything the industry wants to build next.
If a tool saves you time, why object to making it more capable? Before you accept that bargain, consider what David says the companies funding it need in return. The distinction between helping you do a job and doing away with it changes the question.
Music makes that bargain harder to dismiss. David gave an unfinished song to AI, then tried singing over its arrangement himself. Before you decide which voice you'd want to hear, there's his verdict to reckon with, and a reason the better performance might not settle your choice.
Topics: artificial intelligence, job replacement, AI investment, AI music, human connection
