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

There are so many things wrong with Generative AI. I would have expected a college like Berklee to at least stand with their students and alumni against the technology that is pushed to replace them.

It's all been said before, but I'll reiterate one thing. Gen Ai is theft. Simple as that.

i want humans!!!!!!!!

The indomitable human spirit and creativity shall always prevail

I don't even go to Berklee, but I would do anything in my power to keep garbage like this off my campus.

There is no point of teaching AI song writing.

Gen Ai is antithetical to the mission of art

genAI has NO place in art, and it is frankly disgusting that one of the most prestigious music universities in the world is acting like this.

KEEP AI OUT OF MUSIC SCHOOLS

diminishing the value of music, the arts and their whole student body and alumni.

Generative AI should not be taught in any schools.

As a teacher, musician, and lover of art the legitimization afforded to a technology meant to replace and plagarize the works of humanity is insulting and an affront to the art form. Generative AI is proven to harm student learning and achievement and teaching students that it is ok to take shortcuts and plagarize the works of human artists sets them up for failure and frustration in their career pursuits.

Using AI completely misses the point of art. Art is about the process as much as it's about the result.

12 years ago, a Berklee tour guide spent the tour saying that Berklee was a school for "real musicians", and that I very specifically wasn't a "real musician" because my instrument was Ableton. So...production isn't real music, but AI garbage is fine now, I guess? What? The students deserve better than a school that thinks so little of their potential and abilities that an AI course could be seen as viable at all.

Art as a concept is dying.

I graduated with high honors from Berklee in 2025. It baffles me that a world-renowned institution that prides itself on having a culturally and musically diverse student body is so confident in grooming its students to train themselves on the tools that are replacing their careers. There was a spark of hope that I saw in all of my classmates and colleagues who graduated with me -- hope that their rigorous training in their chosen field would help them stand out and change the modern musical landscape for the better. That hope would be stolen from future generations of Berklee graduates should generative AI be normalized in higher music education. I stand by all the students who protest this course.

Yeah

Hiring Jim Lucchese was already a misstep with his connections to Spotify and Sofar, this is not surprising that this is all happening under his watch, AI has no place at berklee.

Literally diminishing the value of student's degrees. Both past and future degrees.

Suno can go to hell.
