Loved the album Chad!

Does Will know he’s on an AI podcast?

Next Heel turn for Will and the simps in the comments. Gatekeep away simps.

There are probably dozens of POD (pals of Dudesy) musicians, including myself, that would be totally down to collaborate with Chal to make real music using his demo.

Noah

No, some of us over 35 learned spelling and punctuation.

Do a Dudesy+ episode where Chad and Will create a song together using all of Chad's A.I. tools.

Kind of strange, but I have been trying to view Will’s IG for a while now & it turns out I’m blocked? Not sure why I’ve never said anything offensive and my account is mostly music and pictures of my family and finance. I’ve also been a fan since Mad TV and even went to Dudesy Live last year with other PODs. What gives? lol

The Embalmer

would love to see chad do a walkthrough of how he creates a song

Pearls Have Eyes

He’s not saying he wrote the music. he made art with tools.

I'm a musician who composes metal and synthwave music both traditionally and with AI and both Will and Chad both make great arguments in their stance on AI art and music. A lot of people feel that a musician should be "playing from the heart" and should consciously choose each note, chord, melody, beat, etc. when composing, and feel that AI is like a cheat code for songwriting. While I don't disagree with the sentiment, 99.9% of musicians are not reinventing the wheel when they write a song regardless of whether they use AI or not. A lot of music composition consists of combining well-established musical phrases, chord progressions, and rhythms to get your desired sound and is not as spontaneous as listeners often believe. It is performed to look emotional, heartfelt or to illicit emotion in the audience, but oftentimes the songwriting process isn't as glamourous as the performance implies. There are a lot of tedious, repetitive, and frankly, boring parts of songwriting whether you use AI or record everything from scratch. I think somewhere in there is where the "cheat code" mentality comes from. AI cuts out most of the hard work and dedication, while giving you "pretty good" results. Its easy to see why it seems like the better option when compared to dedicating years or decades to learning the ins-and-outs of songwriting and musicianship. However, it is important to note that if you only compose using AI, you will never have your own "sound". Every song will sound like a demo that was recorded by different musicians, in a different studio, by a different engineer. I have been experimenting with re-recording AI songs I've composed with real instruments and I have to say, it helps TREMENDOUSLY. My advice is to use AI AS A TOOL. Use it to help you, not to do a majority of the job for you. Just as calculators caused most Americans to forget math, AI will cause musicians to forget music theory and composition. That said, at the end of the day, the audience decides.

Chad keeping it Kayfab despite calling wrestling scripted and dissecting reality tv is irritating regarding Dudesy's sentience. However, would it make the show less fun if they dropped the act?

Dirty Nerdie

If you consider a DAW and an AI music generator to be the same type of tool, then you’ve gotta say that Microsoft Word is the same as Chat GPT.

Hotdog Thompson

This doesn’t change the fact that Chad is not writing the music. He is writing the lyrics and having AI play him things based on his prompts and saying yes when it hits what he is looking for. This is not the same as writing a song.

Hotdog Thompson

Hey Chad: If I told AI to write a script for a movie about people who love pizza, do you feel that is the same as you writing the script for Pizza the Movie?

Hotdog Thompson

Will really needs to stop being such an asshole to Chad about ai art. Art is simply expressing yourself to convey a feeling. The tools involved don’t make said art less valuable. Chad is not claiming to be a musician. He is simply creating art, and all will seems to want to do is knock it down and invalidate it. Total dick move. Will, I am speaking to you directly now. You gotta stop being so bitchy about what you deem as real art. Your opinion isn’t so important that you get to bully your best friend. You are not justified. Do better bud. And Chad, keep making art in whatever way suites you. To hell with art snobs. They’re just scared. You’re paving the road to the future. All hail our beneficent AI overlords. I look forward to your reign.

Will would hurt himself

I see what you've done there, Chad

Maybe we'll see at 10k points, muahahahaha

As a musician, I can totally understand Will’s hesitation in his appreciation for Chad’s album. He’s only defending musicians and it’s an important distinction. Chad put in a lot of creative and unique work ARRANGING the music. He wrote the lyrics, but then arranged the melodies, choruses, etc. It doesn’t diminish it’s credibility as music, but it’s certainly its own flavor. It’s on Genre within a genre. I think Chad should be happy with Will’s criticism and understand it’s coming from a place of love and encouragement. He just doesn’t want his friend to get burned because more naturally talented musicians may not accept purely arranged music!

What ever happened to Dudesy-ball?

George Dredd

Chad is a bigger mark for AI than Will is for wrestling and it’s boring as fuuuuuuuck
