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

Kjeld Brandal

Fuck these goddamn AI slop overlords, humans ftw

I'm headed to Berklee in the fall as an incoming freshman, and the idea that the school is encouraging its students to use AI instead of their gifts as artists is just disgusting.

Isla Parker

If you are not willing to put in the time and effort that creating music requires and deserves, then you shouldn’t consider a career in music, or any medium of art for that matter. Especially not one at Berklee.

Alexander Moua

I like making music Making music using Ai is a cop out, if you want to make music then learn how without ai

Isabella Ferro

AI steals from artists and butchers the results of real blood, sweat, and tears, and throws it out the window. Humans will always be better than AI. Stop promoting laziness and theft; bring back passion and creativity!

Makenzy Carter

The creative process is part of being a musician. If you can't understand that and have to resort to typing commands into a bot, then you're not a musician. It's sad that one of the most prestigious music colleges is stooping to this level

Kim Helmuth

It won’t continue to work anyway. If it only gets ongoing unoriginal input the output will continue to degrade. It’s a better investment to help your students develop truly original content.

I'm an entering student and I have to pay $80k which is already really hard for me. I'm still paying that and coming to berklee because it's one of the best music institutions but to know that it doesn't promote or value its students' abilities with normalizing the use of AI and with teaching AI is disturbing. I don't want to go to a place that devalues musicians by the use of AI. I hope we can get rid of this because berklee has been my dream school for 7 years.

music is and has been such a vital part of peoples lives since the beginning of time. from using seashells and bones to make horns and flutes, to the pianos creation in 1700 by christofori, humans have used. J

Ai in music is fucking stupid i hope all clankers die!!! Fuck Suno

May Searcy

Music is art, and art is for people.

Ame <3

I'm only in high school, but to know my and many others' futures could be taken over by AI and my entire life be rendered meaningless is a horrible fate that I wish to avoid.

Zane Stanley

AI in music is bullshit. Period. If you don’t want to take the time to respect the art and the culture, instead teaching our young musicians to do the same, there is a special place in hell for the faculty that teach this program; I hope they burn in it.

Markus Will

Creativity is the most important thing to me, and there is no creativity in using AI.

Stepan Bashtavy

I’m a composer and I think ai will only make my life more difficult, and I think I hate it

Samantha Mirville

Music is something we all take in different, but to say that people don't appreciate it and that the creators that take their time to write and make music isn't worth it is insulting. We're using AI to do everything for us and using it when it's not needed.

Julia Sznajder

because i’m a musician and a human and AI is destroying the music industry

randomist

ai destroys lives and makes us all dumber and has no place in a music school when the literal ceo of suno (what theyre trying to teach) says that the process of making and learning music is unenjoyable

Mallory McKendry

I am saddened to think that an institution like Berklee could even consider using AI in this capacity. As a current student I very much am opposed to this.

Kayla Dickerson

I was thinking of auditioning, but I could never attend a school that would tarnish my integrity, my lyrics, and my reputation.
