Adam Neely Mini Documentary on AI at Berklee

This is worth checking out.
We really need a dedicated sub just for YouTube. And a way to ignore it.
Every single section is just a collection of people posting random YouTube crap they found. It's in Recordings, Social Media, Bassists, even Misc. now.

Berklee College of Music Students Furious That It's Offering an AI "Songwriting" Class
"As a Berklee grad, I'm appalled at the questionable use of AI in creative classes."
Berklee College of Music Students Furious That It's Offering an AI "Songwriting" Class
Hundreds of students at Berklee College of Music in Boston have signed an online petition protesting a new course on generative AI music.

Adam Neely consistently posts thoughtful content about music and I think this video raised concerns about the quality of the Berklee curriculum. As a soon to be retired professor (my last day of my online class is 5/29/26,) I can identify with issues of curriculum and the influence of commercial concerns on academia.

You know you can just scroll past those posts, yes?
By that argument, every forum should be full of spam and nonsense. You can just scroll past those posts, yes?
It's in the Misc. forum, which seems correct to me, and Neely, as the good Dr. says, posts high quality, thoughtful content. I really don't get the opprobrium here and I think you're more than a bit off base.
I think most musicians understand the importance of Signal To Noise Ratio. Perhaps a more descriptive subject line for such threads would help? Student backlash @ Berklee Over AI Slop passed off as Education, or similar, perhaps?
It's not against the rules to post videos. Maybe there are other forums that don't allow them where you would feel more at home.
My beef isn't so much the prevalence of folks posting YouTube videos...it's people posting YouTube videos with little or no commentary other than "I thought this was cool."
If you thought something was cool, tell us why! Summarize the salient points the video makes, tell us why you found that fascinating. Put some effort into your post so that other members here learn something about you as a person and as a musician, and/or so we have a reason to take the time to watch the video you posted.
"I thought this was cool; here, watch this video" is about as inviting as toddlers who announce "Mommy, I pooped!"

Really?
I wish my life was stressless enough that that was the kind of thing that got my knickers twisted.
"I thought this was cool" is plenty for me to check something out, but I must be simple or something.

I think we all have an obligation to ourselves to decide what is worth our time. There are many forums here I never read. Perhaps I could but I made the choice not to.
Yes, exactly! There is no prompt for discussion, usually because there is no discussion to be had. "Look at this" isn't a topic for discussion. If we wanted to watch random videos we all have YouTube.
The "Recordings" section says it's for "Youtube Finds" and yet you can see they are hardly contained there, as evidenced by this very post in the "misc" section, and by a regular who certainly knows the layout of the site.
If you read the forum descriptions, the YouTube forum is for people to post their own content, but sometimes the "look at this" posts wind up there.
The "bassists" section doesn't have any specific guidelines about video. But performance and interview clips wind up there.
It's low effort and spread all over the place.
The more precise parameters are, the more a given forum becomes slanted to some interests while excluding others. I prefer looser guidelines because I trust my judgement about what interests me.

Dude just relax, geez.....
I think really you just need to be ignored, you are the MOST demanding user on this forum and you don't even pay for it. Following my own advice now.... you aren't the arbiter of good posting around here bud, just a heads up.
Well, I enjoyed the video. There is my low-effort endorsement.
