Welcome to The Tone Lab Roundtable: “Artificial Inspiration – AI’s Role in Music & Art”
Joined by artist Adam Weinzapfel and Artist/Musician/Producer John Panagulis
In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most controversial and fascinating topics in the creative world today: the rise of artificial intelligence in music and visual art. Is AI the ultimate tool for artists?—or the beginning of the end for human creativity?
Join us as the crew from The Tone Lab and special guests debate the pros, cons, and weird realities of creating with code. From AI-generated lyrics and beats to visual art that mimics human touch, we’re asking the big questions:
Can AI truly create? Where do we draw the line between tool and artist?
What does this mean for musicians, producers, and visual artists trying to survive in the digital age?
Whether you’re excited, skeptical, or just curious—pull up a chair, grab your favorite drink, and tune in.
Drop your thoughts in the comments and be part of the conversation. This is just the beginning.
