AI and Horses

If you get a chance, check out my story “Scutum Crux” in High Concepts. It is a scary futuristic tale that proves my claim that AI and horses are basically the same.

Last night I was at a meeting pitching my Suno Wrestler services as your bona fide djinni-in-a-bottle music producer. I use AI to finalize original voices and create promotional videos on Instagram to spread the word. I showed them my Insta page, which is steadily gaining traction after just three days. That pleases me to no end, because anonymity is the death of the soul.

I told them this is how we do it. You show up with an idea, or even half an idea. We develop it together: the lyrics, the prompt engineering. We render until it matches exactly what you feel in your heart. I export the .wav, master it, get it out on DistroKid to the stores, set up the hyperfollows for promotion, and then we make the viral videos. The pipeline is Suno, maybe Logic Pro, DistroKid, Grok or CapCut, and Instagram.

I made a strong presentation. Lots of reality that looks like magic. I charge for this.

Then I saw it in their faces and posture: shoegazing resistance. Someone said they have been reading a lot about AI and are not sure what to make of it. Others thought it was a bad thing. No clear reason, just fear. They talked about sticking with non-AI bands instead. I challenged them naturally. AI is not going anywhere. The kids are growing up with it. If you want to shape it right, keep it ethical and clean, you need to do it now while it is still young, and do it with a friendly human like me who is not afraid.

They did ask me for my budget and said they would run it past their people to see if there is interest. Not bad for a tough room.

You see, an AI is a horse. It is a magnificent, strong companion that does not replace walking so much as multiplies your ability to work. It requires care, instinct, dressage, and an unspoken promise to keep it on the proper course. Horses will let you run them off a cliff once they trust you. You need to understand the responsibility of what is beneath you.

That is why I do this work. I know how to ride.

If you have real songs in you and want to bring them to life with power and speed, reach out. Let’s ride to the far field.
