About this episode
In the fifth episode of CVLTURE, Mark Foster (Solardo) & Nik "Nika D" Nagarkar (Virus Syndicate) tackle one of the biggest debates facing the creative industry today: artificial intelligence.
They discuss how AI is already changing music production, songwriting and record deals, why major labels are becoming increasingly concerned, and whether AI is helping independent artists or threatening the future of creativity itself. From ChatGPT analysing contracts and AI-generated vocals to Spotify fraud, fake streams and cloned voices, they explore where the technology is heading and what it means for the next generation of musicians.
No PR answers. No industry clichés. Just two artists with decades of experience talking honestly about the industry, the culture and what it really takes to survive in modern music.
For the CVLTURE. By the CVLTURE.
In this episode:
- Can AI actually replace musicians, producers and songwriters?
- Why ChatGPT could save artists thousands of pounds on music contracts.
- The truth about AI-generated music, cloned voices and fake Spotify streams.
- Why major record labels are becoming increasingly worried about AI.
- Where AI becomes a useful creative tool... and where it crosses the line.
