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

No AI music . Come on now…

Keep it real Berklee!!!

Get real. Keep it that way.

Don’t become shallow, lazy, and unimaginative. There are other places for AI use, not in art and music.

No AI

TRUE DAT!!

There is nothing artificial about human ingenuity. Even AI is a product of human ingenuity. outsourcing genius is not an option. This is about money as usual Thank you Kai

Lead the way, Kai!

No whatsoever! We are better than A.I. Come on!

I am class of '87. This is historically one of THE most important petition everyone should sign. AI began as a dishonest project, vacuuming up creative content without paying a cent for it. No matter how impressive or tantalizing this technology appears, it is essentially a Trojan horse, raised by industry industry and not by the artist. As such it will always have profit seeking at its core. And while it operates in this fashion, prompt generated music robs young students of the ability to develop a direct connection to the spirit of music in the artistic sense. Yes AI will make us dumb and rob our agency while pretending to be our friend. It is David Copperfield and not Leonardo da Vinci. As far back as 1987 I have seen Berklee pivot towards increasingly commercial leanings, eventually going into real estate and becoming very very expensive. I do see a glimmer of hope. And if Berklee is smart they'll get of the sinking ship before it's too late. There will be a major fall out in the not too distant future where AI will collide with life in a major way. Perhaps when noone can make a living anymore except for a handful of trillionaires, perhaps if there is an invironmental collapse or a mental mass crisis. But when the day comes Berklee could "profit" from having seen it coming. Berklee can now course currect back to its original North star in its role to nurture and protect the artistic spirit of humanity in its most beautiful form: Music. Music is about the transformation of the soul. Come on Berklee ! Draw a line and grow a spine. See the light while there is still time. No Generative AI at Berklee !

AI doesn’t create from nothing. It learns from our work, our voices, our stories. Without consent. Without compensation. Innovation should never mean exploitation. I’m signing to ensure that human creativity remains respected — and protected.

This is disgraceful

Proud Berklee alum here. This storied institution should be imbuing the next generation with creative genius, technical proficiency and deeply-rooted fundamentals. Yes, A.I. is here. But Berklee does not need to be involved in its dissemination.

As the parent of a Berklee student, it is very upsetting to know that Berklee is teaching a platform that has and will continue to steal the works of artists and musicians. The conflict of interest in promoting a platform that the professor of this class benefits from is problematic. I woukd much rather Berklee invest in how students can protect their music legally, which should be a semester 1 class.

Music is produced through human emotion and no artificial intelligence can touch that emotion.

You’re helping eliminate the writers who are ACTUALLY creative. Pathetic.

get AI slob out of the Berklee Curriculum

You've lost the spot as the #1 most respected music school in the world

This will ruin the creativity and credibility of the song writers

ABSOLUTELY NOT! First time I’ve ever been disappointed in or angry with Berklee…
