Thoughts?Nick Cave has doubled down on his stance against artificial intelligence in songwriting in a new interview: "The thing about writing a good song is that it tells you something about yourself you didn’t already know. That’s the thing. You can’t mimic that" ... See MoreSee Less

This is artists being fxxxed over again. Their creativity has always been exploited, ignored and belittled. The problem with AI - it is built on the backs of all artists. Then the art is “created” anew with no credit or royalties to the original artists. I don’t know the answer but creative minds will always survive and human history would be vastly different without them.

I also think AI would write bad songs, but so what? I’m not sure why he’s so freaked out by more bad songwriters in the world…

Never mind, Nick. ChatGPT can't replace a soul and it can't replace genius. Your craft is safe.

It’s scary. I’m a screenwriter and it can replace me. It’s not Wes Anderson but it’s good enough to write scripts that can be made.

Sadly I believe it will soon be hard to tell what is ai generated & what is organically made by a human. Lots of people patting themselves on the back for using chatGPT & other “timesavers”. Watermarks or stamps should be mandated for ai generated content for source disclosure. Ah well..

Says the dude who replaced most of his band with a groovebox.

Can someone double down on the ability to sing without a support track too please?

Artificial = Soulless

Agree

We shouldn’t be afraid of ai, as artists we should embrace it. We already embrace so much, why create a wall where it’s not needed.

AI can't do art.

i hope AI slaughters the current writers of the crap in the charts of today in the streets, I will cheer them on, AI cant be any worse? might be an improvement even

We support voting for Andrew Broadley in the Ballina electorate. He and his family’s incredible support of and involvement in the Arts, where they volunteer their time and talent to help the Arts community and the local community selflessly, is incredibly impressive!

Do you know local candidates you’d like to promote today?

Remember, we need people who give a damn about the importance of the Arts inside the walls of government… not just career politicians or those who have no insight into the complex difficulties artists and the Arts experience due to thoughtless choices.

Elizabeth Farrelly Independents is our choice for the NSW upper house!FAMILY AND COMMUNITY
One of the rewards of being a teacher and part of a growing family in this community is I have met many people from different walks of life. This has given me insight into the important issues facing people in our community.

My wife Leanne is a teacher, the director of Creative Arts at Xavier College. Together we’ve juggled work with busy family life with four children - now young adults.

When I am not in the classroom, I’ve been an advocate for public education for over 10 years, actively involved with the Teachers’ Federation and currently the president of the Lismore branch. That role includes campaigning and lobbying for a better deal for teachers and students, and improvements to public schools.

I’ve been a dad coach to many a sporting team and a proud audience member as Leanne and the children have performed in local theatre productions.

We also volunteer as a family. During the floods, like many, we helped doorknock the low-lying areas of Ballina then we gave a hand at the Skenner’s Head Evacuation Centre.

We don’t know why being able to make a living as an artist seems to be impossible for most?The minimum fee is based on the fundamental principle that musicians should, and deserve to be paid a living wage. It is a recognition of our value.

We need you to stand with us and demand a minimum fee. Join our union today 👉 meaa.link/250

📣Young artists aged 15 - 25 are invited to be part of the 2023 Receive>Respond arts challenge!

Receive>Respond is an opportunity for young artists in the Cairns region to share their passion for art and collaboration.

The challenge is simple. This year’s selector, NorthSite Contemporary Arts Acting Director, Hamish Sawyer, receives all submissions and selects approximately 30 to participate. Chosen artists will be part of an exhibition at the Court House Gallery on Abbott St.

He then pairs up the artists like a “Secret Santa". Each artist receives their paired artwork and then creates a new artwork that responds in some way to that image.

The resulting exhibition places the paired works together and gives the artists the chance to meet each other and discuss their responses. This challenge highlights the talent and diversity of creative expression here in our own backyard.

There is also a Reflect component to the Receive>Respond program, including professional and creative development workshops for selected artists, helping to ease them into the vibrant community of young creatives we have in our region.

>> Applications close 27 March <<

If you are interested in participating, find out more information here: www.cairns.qld.gov.au/experience-cairns/arts-and-culture/arts-venues/court-house-gallery/receive-...
