No Generative AI At Berklee- Disband Bots, Beats and Bytes

ART IS FOR HUMANS

AI generated media is inherently and fundamentally bad.

As a Berklee Alum, I can confidently say that AI music has no place at Berklee. Berklee is the best music school in the world, but teaching AI music is destroying that legacy.

The fastest way how to tarnish your reputation, Berklee. :(

AI robs the creativity of musicians. The brain needs to be used, or it atrophies, and using AI to write songs is a slippery slope to slop, leading to the end of songwriting as an art. Generative AI should not be taught.

Unbelievable I actually have to sign a petition to ... ban music AI out of music school

AI is the most damaging technological advance. it will cause the downfall of society

Incorporating generative AI into curriculum in a prestigious institution for musical education demonstrates a lack of respect for the art form, a lack of professionalism with regard to music education, and a sheer incompetency at education in general. This is especially frustrated by claims from an instructor that Suno is better than their students; that personifies an individual who is woefully incompetent at education and does not deserve the position they have been awarded. As someone passionate about music and education, I strongly urge Berklee to stop prioritizing moneyed interests rooted in corporate greed over the education of their students. An educational institution that does not put integrity and education first should not exist, and any instructors endorsing this model that claim to care about education should resign from being educators permanently or be ousted as ignominious liars. It is a disgrace to the profession, it is a disgusting insult to music as an art form, and you deserve to be ashamed of yourself for the rest of your life if you have in any way supported the integration of generative AI into any student curriculum.

There is no need for AI in a creative degree. AI will never create something as meaningful as a real human being.

I'm a Berklee Online alumnus. Not all AI is bad. But AI tools like SUNO, which openly avoid copyright responsibility and plagiarize musicians' work, will irreversibly stain the name of this once great music institution. Eliminate these unethical tools, and replace the leadership which promotes them, before all credibility and prestige is lost from Berklee College of Music.

Keep on rockin' in the real world!

No AI thanks.

I am a pianist, singer, and songwriter. I do not believe a prestigious music school should be encouraging its students to generate music with AI. This type of “music generation” is dubiously legal at best.

AI is the plague on society and must be abolished

Here from Adam Neely's vis

Making music is fun, people like to make music so much that they will go to school and pay a bunch of money to make it. Suno AI is created on the opinion that it isn’t, that it’s hard and not worth it when you can just skip to the result. But the hard part, the creation, that’s what’s fun. I never want to see that taken away from musicians. AI has no place here.

don't like suno, Bad

Disgusted that Berklee would sink this low

How can this be considered education at all? People should be taught to be sentient.

Suno is built on theft & is anti-humanist
