I watched a guy on Instagram play Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue by touching various triggers of the opening clarinet line. His skill touching each trigger was accurate and it correctly triggered each clarinet note including rubato parts but he was not playing an actual clarinet. It makes you think people will experience his little dance as though he is the musician and I suppose it is partly valid or is it? When a Tesla drives you without you placing your foot on the gas or brakes are you really still the driver? I came upon a writing app using AI where authors upload parts of their story then AI generates other paragraphs an sentences. Supposedly related to your content. The people selling it are very proud and excited to supply a robot that generates more of the story that you later say you wrote. I can partly see the future, the part where people take credit for things as hard as turning on a light switch. I can see it is inevitable. I can also tell there is going to be a great gap between who only knows how to flick the switch and who knows what is behind it. For touring my music I have owned three vans over the years. The first was a Dodge Sportsman. It was cool and I knew how to drive a car, I was excited and free and gigging. One day many months after I bought it, a mechanic at a gas station remarked there was something that looked like green ooze coming out of the motor. He asked when I last changed the oil. I never knew a person had to change oil. A stunning moment in my life, neither one of us could believe I had not yet died in this car.
