AI for set list management

And if people are using it to create things like music, I don’t see the evil in that any more than someone using all software to make electronic music which has been happening for years.
I think alot of musicians are mostly concerned with the means of how it works, ie scraping copyrighted music made by other people to feed the model. There have been reports of it generating near carbon copies of existing music. For Suno, there are alot of outstanding questions on how they even attained the music they trained it on.

With that said, it's here to stay at this point IMO. I think the only thing that will stop it would be the literal availability of resources to run the ever growing footprint of data centers which are already driving up consumer electricity costs in my state, Virginia. That right there is the driving force behind my non-support of the tech. It's not as much that it makes people lazy, although that still gives me pause.
 
I think the OP's use of AI is fine. I abhor AI usage in creating "art", but for organizing your data, sure. One less thing to do while I can be writing or just doing anything else.

And nobody forces us to use the output if we don't like the result. It's just another way to shuffle the deck. We can easily have it re-shuffle until we like the output.

I've done some flaming, anti AI rants, but organizing a set list is not a hill on which I'm willing to die.

Having survived pre computers, pre internet, pre cell phones, the screeching about anything AI related is quite reminiscent of those transitions to now accepted technologies. We really can and should open up to efficiencies while still holding the line on creativity.

We can walk and chew gum at the same time. 🙏
