This is the pitchwork review. I'm the Editor-in-Chief, Pooja Patel.

And this week, we have a special episode for you.

I recently sat down with the folks at Wired for their podcast, Have a Nice Future.

I spoke with Wired, editor-in-chief,

Gideon Litchfield, and their senior writer, Lauren Good, about artificial intelligence

in the future of music. If you've been paying any attention, you've probably noticed that

AI is creeping into everything, and with the recent scandals involving AI-generated songs

that use vocals from Eminem, Drake,

and the weekend, it's front and center in music too. On this episode of Have a Nice Future,

we talk about how AI music is made and how it's affecting artists and the music industry too. I sound a bit manic.

Okay.

E!

Hi, I'm Lauren Good.

And I'm Gideon Litchfield.

This is Have a Nice Future, a show about how fast everything is changing.

Each week, we talk to someone with big, audacious ideas about the future, and we ask them,

is this the future we want? This week, we're talking about how generative AI is shaking up music

with Pooja Patel, the editor-in-chief of

the music site, Pitchfork.

I think people are getting more and more particular about having very clear specific tastes

and also about not letting the computer trick them.

Gideon, I wanted to start the show off a little bit differently today.
