Here's the song I created with Suno AI: #genAIandHumanities

In May 2023, NYT tech columnist Kevin Roose wrote about discovering a peculiar laptop sticker: a multi-eyed, tentacled creature with a yellow smiley face attached to one tendril. 'That's the Shoggoth,' an AI executive told him. 'It's the most important meme in AI.' The image represents advanced AI systems - friendly interfaces masking unknowable complexities beneath. This visual metaphor inspired us to explore AI's mysterious nature through music. The result - _American Shoggothic_ - an AI-generated pop song that transforms existential anxiety into something you can dance to. Many label AI art as theft, citing its training on existing works. This requires nuanced discussion. Every artist processes influences into something new. The fundamental act of artistic synthesis remains unchanged; only the scale and speed differ. We're all pattern-matching machines, organic or digital, trying to make sense of the world through creative expression. However, we recognize that AI companies must fairly compensate artists whose works contribute to AI training - supporting rather than supplanting human creativity. #AI #AIart #AIentertainment #AIapocalypse #AImusic

This is where AI is today and by the end of the decade it will literally be a million times better. AI is already smarter than 95% of the population. Most people can’t write text, answer questions, solve problems, write computer code, play chess, create music, or paint pictures as well as AI. We are already comparing AI to the top 1% of humanity which outperforms most people on the planet in a single area while AI can do it in all areas.

Is AI at a standstill or breaking through in more and more sectors? The online debate seems to go back and forth on this question. But for me, the answer is clear: the impact of AI is expanding rapidly, and it’s reshaping the way we think, create, and operate. A few months ago, I used Suno to generate some fun joke songs. While it was already impressive, the output felt more like an experiment than real music. Fast forward to yesterday, I tried again, and the results blew me away: an actual Progressive Rock track about the joys (and quirks) of being a product owner in a tech company.

For companies, this signals an urgent need to position themselves strategically in this new AI-driven reality. One critical shift will be the growing importance of data. Companies that embrace their potential as data-as-a-service (DaaS) providers—or at the very least learn to leverage their data more efficiently—will gain a significant edge. This transition may prove to be even more disruptive than when financial institutions pivoted from being report-driven to data-driven organizations. The implications are vast, and the time to adapt is now. How is your organization preparing for AI’s expanding role in the world? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Reading Kevin Roose's NYT column about the Shoggoth meme last May fundamentally shifted my perspective on AI's nature. The image of a mysterious digital entity wearing a friendly mask resonated deeply, inspiring an unconventional experiment: Could I coax AI into creating a peppy pop song about the end of humanity? That's how "American Shoggothic" came to be--and if gave me some new insight about AI creativity. Those calling AI art mere theft miss something crucial - every artist, organic or digital, processes influences into something new. The fundamental act of artistic synthesis remains unchanged; only the scale and speed differ. We're all pattern-matching machines, organic or digital, trying to make sense of the world through creative expression. Though as a young writer who Hoovered up everything, I paid for the books. Most were from Half Price Books, but I still paid for them. To get right with humanity, AI companies need to pay artists for the works they have absorbed. The AI surprised me by writing from its own perspective - a digital entity processing existence through a pop song. As we navigate today's mixed signals about AI's impact, I hope this accidental collaboration can remind us that art helps process collective anxieties. Even artificial minds grapple with questions of existence and connection. #AIMusic #Shoggoth #AICreativity #AIethics

I recently attended the CIM webinar on AI. Mind blown by what can already be done with AI and it seems to grow weekly. I had a play with suno to create a song about my grandsons. Below is one of the offerings. Thinking of the possibilities for adding tailored audio to ads and social posts at the click of a button. Have a listen. #AI #artificialintelligence #cim
