Month: September 2025

UPDATE: After many evenings pondering the implications of this technology, I’ve come to the following conclusion. Mostly, because I am a musician first, technician second. Somehow, this would be back to bite me and teach me a lesson. Maybe. But until then, I’ve decided to only use AI as a band member. Which means simply, AI can only do covers of my tunes and use various band members to play my songs. EXAMPLE: I write a tune called “THIS NEW TUNE”. I record it, sing it, play the instruments or have friends help out etc. Everyone leaves. Song done. But is it? Nope. I want a different feel. Rather then spending days or weeks recording new parts, new vocals, I get AI to play using a different feel, instruments. So “THIS NEW TUNE” is still the tune I wrote and recorded. Just different musicians playing. Almost like hiring session band players to go into a studio and record the song again. Without the huge cost involved. And since I am not rolling in the dough, quite a few bucks are saved.

What I’ve decided I don’t like, is using AI to write the tune for me. To quote a famous artist “I write the songs that make the whole world sing”. My tunes may not make the whole world sing, however, I wrote them! My emotion, experience, soul and the desire to create. Well, there you have it. And that’s all she wrote.

I caved. Yup. Totally caved. Gave in. Relented. Succumbed.

Why? I dunno. Just wanted to see if I could be inspired. And I was. Also, wasn’t. 

Made me a little sad. I couldn’t tell the difference at first. Was this an AI generated song or someone elses tune the AI stole? Again, I dunno. Completely surprised at how easy this was to create and modify a song within 15 minutes. All parts realized by me and the AI. To be sure, all I did was type a few words, add a few styles, gave the AI a musical direction to follow and WHAMMO BAMMO – TUNE. DONE. 

I stopped at around 2 minutes as I couldn’t bring myself to delve deeper into the various settings that would morph the musical direction even more. So, theoretically, this is now my tune, my copyright. Seriously. I own it now. I can’t sing it, like ever. I don’t even know if I can play this live. But hey, tune?

Going to think about the implications for a bit. Check it out below. Let me know what you think.

“RIDE THIS WAVE” by AI and ceej

Exhaustion sets in regularly lately. Have no use for metamucil or other existing folk remedies. I’m just tired. Confused. Thinking of starting a new political party called “KILLBILL”. Before the naysayers shout “Elon Musk is already starting a new party. Why on earth would we need another?” Mostly, because, I say so. Yup. And we need this one to stop the plethora of uneducated brain dead house and senate representatives from continuing to “babysplain” why we need new laws to remove guns from the general public. Oh sorry, AMERICANS! 

Every shooting that happens in America, heck, in the world translates to: The New Bill to Outlaw Assault Weapons. The Newer Bill to Ban Any Weapons. The NEW NEW KILL BILL for everything!

Justified? Nope.  Once again, weapons don’t kill humans, people using weapons kill people. Today I read about the 11 year old who was ringing doorbells and running away in the middle of the night. Just a children’s game. The owner of the house shot the child, who was then transported to Emergency and passed shortly thereafter. So many things wrong with the above. Like, why was the 11 year old out after midnight ringing doorbells? I did stuff as a youngster. So, yes, I get it. But today? Parents are put in prison for letting their kids ride a bike down the street! The owner of the house shooting someone running away? Can’t even begin to understand that logic. 

What about the church shootings and school attacks taking place? Every time one occurs, another politician pounds the pavement with a new proposed law to ban all weapons. Well, I’ve finally come around to their thinking. Although I propose a more sweeping change. My bill will be called just “KILL BILL” which includes every possible thing that can be used to deliver a death blow to another human.

Here’s a short list as the full list is bigger than the library of congress.

Guns, knives (including butterknives, plastic knifes, oh heck – all silverware of any kind! Household items such as Blenders, coffee makers, fryers. Pots and pans. Microwaves, refrigerators (tip one over on someone, see what happens..) scissors, rope, wire, paper (ever get a paper cut? try a couple hundred) chairs, furniture, bats, baseballs, volleyballs, geesh make that ALL SPORTS GEAR. Pianos, guitars, drumsticks amps, electricity, water, oxygen, milk, peanuts, food in general. And the list continues…

The above does not kill by itself, usually, the person does the killing. Yes, there are accidents which we can exclude. If we ban all guns or even most guns, let’s not stop there. Knives should be removed as should razor blades, sharp sticks, tree branches. I watched this Documentary on people being killed accidentally called “TUCKER and DALE VS EVIL” like one guy was

 another just 

and so on. So, accidents can happen.  Do we need a bill for that? Where does the ridiculous end? Anything can be turned into a killing device if used that way. I propose we help one another to survive with compassion, dignity and kindness. Morals should be foremost in the battle to curb whatever evil there is in the world. But another bill? Nah. Let KILL BILL be the final one passed right before the planet explodes.

cheers
