Why Worry About AI Music? A Songwriter's Perspective

Are you feeling uneasy about what AI might mean for music?

If so, you’re not alone.

Lately, much of the conversation around AI and music has been framed through fear and uncertainty. While these concerns are understandable, I worry that this bleak tone may cause songwriters to unnecessarily feel anxious.

In this video, I offer a different perspective - one rooted in indifference. I truly don’t think that 99% of us songwriters need to spend a single minute worrying about AI.

I break this down into the following sections:

• The gift of songwriting
• The economics of music
• A powerful quote and a short personal story
• Words of encouragement

If you’re a songwriter feeling overwhelmed by the discussions surrounding AI, my hope is that this video will help you refocus on what actually matters: continuing to write.
