        Many of us remember the advertising campaign of Memorex for their recording tape, cassette & reel to reel.

        Those days are long gone but today we have to question if what we are hearing is humans making music or whether it is AI.
        Austrian Metal guitarist Bernth analyzes some common videos that are found on You Tube to indicate what is happening with these recordings. I believe that Rick Beato has similar videos about this issue

        Enjoy

          Lots of gullible viewers out there. But there really should be a clear watermark or label for those of us who are not quite familiar with AI trickery. There is going to come a day where the strings appear to bend correctly and the glitching gets smoothed out.

          Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

            We are all doomed by the future of AI. True, we will not be able to tell real video from AI generated video. So what will we do? Go to live venues where we can see the actual humans performing. That will work until robots are perfected to the point where we can’t tell robots from humans.

              Hey Keith,
              Edgar Allen Poe was right. Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.
