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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Human and artistic expression is important to our culture and society. Musicians deserve to create worthwhile art for worthwhile cultural movements. and just like everybody else musicians need to survive in this world, put food on the table and share what they’re best at.

In no way does generating songs with ai and making money off them benefit anyone but the selfish people doing it. It kills human creativity and the emotion and feeling one puts into a piece of art. Music is nothing without creativity and feeling and heart, and ai will never change that.

Generative AI in music isn't creativity, it's laziness. It steals copyrighted music and correlates it to tags and you just prompt and generate until you like the result. It wastes energy, water, and generates tons of pollution and is bad for the environment. Shutting the class down isn't enough, ban the use of all generative AI and make students actually use their own creative minds.

My daughter attends Berklee to hone her compositional skills and one day earn a living creating music for herself and others to perform. Now you are handing her the shovel to dig her career's grave and you want to compel her to take it and dig. What is wrong with you?

Aside from adding my name here, I emailed President Lucchese, Composition Department Carrick and AI Songwriting Professor Camp regarding this absurd notion.

This purported "AI" has no place near human made art. And it is especially heinous to have it taught or presented as a legitimate means of creation in a classroom at a school dedicated to honing creative skills. Actual skills performed with human hands. It begs the deeper questions of why we even make music or art to begin. Is this all really just for gain? The pathetic grift behind this all is that we are not encountering actual AI or anything close to AGI. Rather, we have unsustainable, environmentally destructive probability machines labeled as "intelligent". There is no real intelligence behind this, only the shortsighted pursuit of gain at the expense of humanity. It is only cultic, hypercapitalistic bloodletting in hopes that some day these grifters will be able to achieve socioeconomic moksha by charging you money to think, create, or breathe. Do not let this happen.
