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

Divyansh Dubey

I'm an artist myself and hearing this really makes me feel horrible

Sam Feldstein

Ai music is not creative, and it is not art. Pick up a guitar for once in your life

Benjamin Fleming

Ai bad

Jude Cisneros

I play multiple instruments, music is truly my life. Going to Berklee is my dream, as I wish to have a career in music. But seeing that Berklee is now doing this, and saying it is okay is so disheartening. I am truly so disappointed that we have come to this.

Jonathan Ropp

us musicians shouldnt feel the need to lose creativity to ai

Izzy Hill

This will be the death of art

The reason music is fun is because it’s hard and challenging, removing friction is exactly how people stay idiots. Musicians are respected because music is hard, if you seriously want to make music then you’ll go through to effort to learn 3 chords on guitar. In any other case just stick to listening to music if you’re too lazy to put in effort to create art.

Anechka Estrada

I’ve loved music since I was a toddler and I believe that the creative process and people behind the very music that’s shaped who I am today deserves far more recognition than the AIs that want to strip the joy and life away from it.

Devil's Advocate

The CEO of Suno is claiming that people don't enjoy the "process" of making music. That’s EXACTLY the opposite of what song writing is!!! It's ALL about the process, and it's ridiculous to kill creativity with an LLM that regurgitates existing data and plasters a copyright on it.

Dexter Froud

I don’t want a future of art made my machines pretending to be humans.

Noah Tsao

I can't stand seeing a class at the highest prestige of music schools have anything related to AI generated things. Music is created through passion, the struggles and the feelings that we as humans have. Not what some model can generate.

Jonathan Amado

Band director here — this is absolutely ridiculous. Not only does Berkeley deserve better, but also the students, families, and faculty deserve better as well.

AI is not art

Isaac Perdigao

I'm a musician. I am very passionate about songwriting, playing, and the entire process of making music. This class is a slap in the face of everyone like me, all my friends who share my passion.

Because Fuck AI

Connor Cushma

It’s a non-ethical music practice

Justinas Drūtys

because I'm an avid antisupporter of generatative AI in art if it's done without any effort, especially taught

Antti Lehtonen

These Silicon Valley AI robber barons should be in prison. Biggest art heist in human history. Berklee leadership having ties with it is shameful. You're damaging your own, and taking part in destroying culture. People who are involved in this should just resign

Bryceton Thomas

This is one of my dream school's and I wouldn't like any tool that uses gallons of water to replace one of the most powerful storytelling methods.

Thomas Smyth

I support the genuine creativity of student musicians and composers and strongly oppose the invasion of opportunistic capitalist led AI.
