Make Money From Music Ep 11 - Music and ai

AI is changing music, writing, and creative work - but the real threat is not what most people think. In this conversation, Innocent and Daniel cut through the hype, the fear, and the marketing spin to ask what happens when the tools get easier, the work gets faster, and the people who actually make art are left wondering if anything still matters. They start with the bigger question everyone is whispering about: is AI a revolutionary tool, a bubble, or just a very expensive distraction wrapped in smoke and mirrors? From there, the conversation gets sharper, moving from OpenAI, Anthropic, and the business model behind AI to the real-world impact on musicians, writers, and anyone whose identity is tied to craft.You’ll hear: - Why AI music tools like Suno and Udio are exciting to some listeners but deeply troubling to working creators - Why niche artists may be harder to copy than the AI hype suggests - How AI is already changing the way people write, read, and think - Why “making things easier” can quietly become a creative trap - What happens when you can fake a book, a voice, a face, or even a whole online persona Daniel brings an AI-skeptical, business-minded perspective, including the uncomfortable question of whether these companies are actually built to last. Innocent brings the artist’s point of view, wrestling with what it means when speed starts to replace depth, and when a tool that saves time can also start eroding confidence, discipline, and the joy of making something from scratch. The episode also digs into the ethics of AI-generated art, stolen dance moves, fake authors, and the growing backlash from creators who are tired of watching their work get scraped, imitated, and sold back to the world without credit or consent. If you care about originality, ownership, and what creative work looks like in an AI-saturated future, this conversation hits the nerve.Essential listening if you make music, write, build, create, or simply want a clearer view of what AI is really doing to the culture around you. Honest, sharp, and unfiltered - this is the kind of conversation that makes you think twice before you hand everything over to the machine. Follow ZOiD: www.instagram.com/zoid999
