Sidetrack - Authenticity in the Age of A.I. (with Michael Serazio)
About this episode
The episode discusses the concept of authenticity in pop music in the context of A.I.-created music with guest Michael Serazio.
Is it possible for a robot to sell out? This week, we welcome author and communication professor Michael Serazio to talk about authenticity in pop music, especially with the arrival of A.I.-created music. Can a machine be a tortured artist… or at least fake it better than a human? Is this the end of “real music” or is A.I. just the latest tool that makes all us old folks scared? We promise no answers but lots of human musings! Michael’s book, “The Authenticity Industries: Keeping it Real in Media, Culture and Politics” is available - go buy it! Music heard in this episode: Masato Nakamura - “Starlight Zone”, John Baker - “ToeJam Jammin’ (Theme)”, RUN DMC - “My Adidas”, Breaking Rust - “Walk My Walk”, The Velvet Sundown - “Dust in the Wind” Send us your thoughts at NeverMusicPod@gmail.com Nevermind the Music is part of The Lorehounds Network.
