Feels timely to repost this #AI message we sent almost a month ago. In our live music ecosystem, no computer or algorithm can come close to recreating the magic of a one-off, truly unique experience in an independent venue. Gigs with authentic artists are about #actualintelligence

#ArtificialIntelligence should be tested using #ActualIntelligence and if it is not, it is #AbsoluteIdiocy

With AI dominating the narrative around copyright and creativity, disrupting the careers of artists and others in the music ecosystem, we felt we wanted to redefine what AI means to us as artists, music lovers and humans. To us, it's #ActualIntelligence. 💛

So, my experiments with "A.I." coding assistants have run their course.

Summary: meh.

I wish this was a bigger conversation than #AI. How about we humans start using some #ActualIntelligence and fixing what's broken, instead of inventing new ways to become stupid.

An idea to offset AI. I’m asking Y’ALL to throw me sketches for your jewelry ideas. You send it, & I create it, I’ll credit, include sketches, & even pay for any that sell.

I've never been "nice" about AI. Not going to start now.

Been pasting this to most of the "Ads" I get that are either AI, or also selling AI "as a service".

Five primary school girls with a Robot Dragon laden with rubber ducks.

Our secret research program reveals that more than one rubber duck per primary school girl optimises code generation efficiency in robot building challenges. Advances in #ActualIntelligence #AI www.mythic-beasts.com/blog/2025/04...

Lesson 12: The AI Scientist In this lesson we explore how AI is being used in science, and try to draw some conclusions about what are and are not appropriate uses.

'The value of science derives from the human understanding that is created, not the number of typeset pages in the scientific literature'.

At those rates, you could also retain a couple of real PhDs and let them get creative for you. #ActualIntelligence #unprompted

A hand drawing I did in one of my sketch pads, while on a car journey recently. I photographed this and made edits, adding filters (in GIMP) and text before applying it to my fantasy writing. And, because I drew it, it fit my world by default. AI should first and foremost stand for "Actual Intelligence". Use your brain, grow your imagination, create something.

Before you use #ArtificialIntelligence tools, use your #ActualIntelligence:

1. Draw something yourself, even if it looks crap.
2. Write something yourself.
3. *Imagine* something yourself.
4. Try to problem solve on your own or other people.

You're better than you think. So, think more.
