Is there a way to report scammers to Reverb? I couldn't see one.

There's a huge backlash against AI in the gaming community at the moment, especially where it's being used as a substitute for human creativity. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out given that gaming studios are a natural fit to use AI to cut staff and speed up production. I suspect in the end the big studios will carry on down the AI road regardless but it will create a niche for independent companies making 100% human authored content.

If you want to go down that route, clearly MXR lifted a bunch of proposed FI features as their product manager has been hanging around the FI Facebook group for the past few years. In actuality, folks have been asking for a pack of cover band presets for a while and I’d been trying to get them to do it. The success of the MXR finally convinced them that there was a significant portion of potential customers that they were not serving. To be honest, I’m glad of the competition because it’s now given the impetus for the team to implement a bunch of ideas I’ve been pushing for for ages.

Well, that didn't last long. Do me a favour... If I start going on about Precision basses again, just remind me that I put this one up for sale after a single month. Just tell me to buy another Jazz instead! For Sale/Trade, 2025 American Professional Classic Precision in Faded Sherwood Green Metallic in as new condition, complete with all case candy & original Deluxe Fender Gigbag - it even comes with the original OEM 45-105 Fender strings. This is a seriously lovely bass, from the excellent build quality and flawless finish to the solidly stable Gotoh Lollipop Tuners, the quality of these basses has been pushed much more towards the current American Professional II. The new "Shoreline" pickups (based on the Pure Vintage Series) sound full and punchy, with that trademark warm bottom end. It's literally done some home playing and about three numbers at one gig, but I ended up changing back to the playability and scooped sound of my American Professional II Jazz - basically where I belong. The bass is, as stated, in perfect condition with no scratches or dings, and is currently set up with a low and fast action on 40-95 Elixirs. If you want it on the Fender 45-105's, just let me know and I'll happily change it back. Price is £1295, which is a very reasonable near £250 saving on the new RRP. This one is played in, properly set up and sounds fantastic. Buyer to collect from Derbyshire (10 mins from M1 J25), or will happily meet you up to 100 miles from DE7, or 100 miles from Gloucestershire/Wiltshire where I work Wednesday-Friday. Interesting trades considered. Pics are from my music room, and the original pictures of the bass are by the Bass Gallery in Camden where I purchased it.- 1 reply

You need to be careful not to turn this conversation into a binary choice and an "us vs. them" type situation. I was careful to use the term "Generative AI". I'm all for AI automating humdrum tasks, or doing things which are impossible for humans (like the software which turns a full recording back into multitracks to allow remixing which I believe you are alluding to). But using it to create "art" that the user could never hope to do under their own steam, that can fork right off.

Wonder where that idea came from?

Good luck with the sale, but I have to ask... What on earth is going on with that marketing copy on the box? -
Its funny isn't it. As AI adoption comes into the place - the industry is quickly learning that AI is rubbish at doing the jobs that people hate.
-
As a tool, it's useful. As a means to generate creative content, it can get in the sea.

It will be interesting if older films will become seen as more precious because they are pre-AI. I dont think it as easy as saying "if the consumer will accept" - if you give people no other option, the decision is made for them. If it's all driven by cost, the cheapest will always win. Are people really impacting the sales of Coca-Cola because they cheaped out and went AI for the last two years on their Christmas advertisements?

Did anyone see Sarah Connor in the matrix these days?

Of course it should - but at the moment its largely misunderstood and not regulated properly. For all those against AI, I would wager a lot of them were also eager to watch the Beatles Get Back documentary and listen to "Now and Then", both of which would not be a thing without AI.

It depends on whether the consumer will accept, AI music, AI films, AI books, AI online content, AI whatever. If people are made aware that music, films, books, online content, is AI created, then they may reject it. If creative output of all genes can be show to be guaranteed human, then I can see people choosing the human option rather than the AI one. At this stage people don't know if it's AI ,or if it's human, and they don't yet have the option to choose.

I’ve tried a few bug type transmitters since 2020, including Lekato,Smoothhound & a couple of cheap Amazon ‘no brand’ systems, And was almost put off of them entirely due to the 2.4G operating bandwidth. I even went back to my Sennheiser UHF system for a while before Investing in a Shure GLXD+ for my main gigging purposes I still wanted a back-up for my fly-rig & have settled on the Xvive A58 (5G) I gigged it for the first time at the weekend & was mightily impressed I switched it on at 5:00pm for soundcheck, swept for the best channel in the venue (2) & left it switched on until I finished the second set encore at 10:00pm.. It didn’t miss a beat, no drop outs, nothing I had it on the active setting because my Stingray I was using, has quite a Hot output.. No complaints here & thoroughly recommended 👍👍

It's going to become increasingly unavoidable unfortunately. I don't want any part of it, to the point where I block anyone on social media who posts unlabelled AI content, even if it's just a description of an image. Although the torrent is such that I think eventually it will just be easier to leave social media. I've even seen it creeping into Basschat where people have cut and pasted responses from Chat GPT or some such,omwtime containing glaring errors, without crediting their source, in response to questions posted by other members. At the moment such things are still identifiable, but give it another 12 months and none of us will know whether what we are seeing, hearing or reading online has been authored by a human or a machine. Interesting times.
