Marcus "Bellringer" Bell:我是一个人文主义者和技术专家,我深切关注人类的情感和同情心。过去六个月,我借助AI创作了超过15000首歌曲,这得益于AI工具扩展了我的创造力和专业知识。AI的出现并非要取代人类,而是赋能人类,帮助我们创造更多内容。我创建了Ravyn Lyte,北美首位AI音乐艺术家,她代表着音乐创作和精神健康倡导的创新。面对AI带来的挑战,我们应该保持好奇心,从恐惧转向探索。人们不应将自身价值与工作绑定,AI可以处理部分工作,但人类独有的创造力、同理心和讲故事的能力是AI无法取代的。我致力于通过工具帮助人们发现新的目标和意义,并通过音乐和AI技术提升人类生活。我主张从丰裕而非匮乏的角度看待AI,我的音乐和作品是献给人类的礼物,即使被用于衍生创作,我也持乐观态度,因为这代表着我的思想和精神的延续。我的能量和灵感源于我贫困的童年经历、母亲的榜样以及我坚持的“刻意不平衡”的生活方式。 Dan Turchin:许多人担心AI会威胁到音乐行业,但AI研究员Steiner Jeffs认为,AI不会取代人类音乐家创造的情感连接和现场音乐体验。AI可以作为创意合作者,帮助音乐家进行实验和创作。虽然一些工作岗位可能会消失,但人类的创造力和情感表达依然不可替代。
