Social media’s effect on the music industry

Every time I scroll on Instagram or TikTok I always hear a new song or find a new artist that I've never heard of before. I think social media has played a crucial role in the success of these new artists and songs. Nowadays, it's not enough to just have great music, you need to have a strong online presence too. Social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok allow artists to connect with their fans in real-time, and create a loyal following. This also allows fans to feel closer to the artist, making the relationship more personal. We've seen plenty of artists over the past 5-10 years become famous strictly through social media. The power of social media can make or break an artist's career, and it's exciting to see how it's changed the music industry.

AI technology used for the NFL Draft

With the NFL draft coming up,  I've been thinking a lot about how AI can help NFL teams scout players during the draft.

The biggest downside with this is that it could take away human instinct when drafting a player which is important. Too much reliance on AI technology c

Casey Neistats vlog

The other day I watched a video made by one of my favorite YouTuber's, Casey Neistat. The premise of the vlog was that he used an AI to make a vlog in the style of himself. Throughout the video he follows a script of what the AI said including camera angles, dialogue, and imagery. The entire vlog felt very stale and almost as if someone who has only seen a couple Casey Neistat videos wanted to try and recreate one. At the end, Casey talks about how AI doesn’t have any personality or human emotion behind it, therefore art made by humans will (at least for the time being) prevail. I thought this was an awesome message and a really cool video idea. I also felt it related a lot to what we have done in this class as a lot of it has been AI related. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ygj9vBF_WUk
