Song Comparison - Human vs. Robot

This post more or less got me booted out of r/musicals.

"So, you may have seen the recent post of me defending AI use of a poster for our latest show "The Stable Genius". I appealed to the Reddit community and was soundly defeated. Just so you know, I accept your verdict and will not seek a new trial.

Anyway, I just remembered the actor who came up with the poster also took one of my songs (recorded by studio musicians in Nashville) and re-recorded a portion of the song he would be singing in the show using his AI Assistant named Dustina (the actors name Dustin, of course). I was pretty amazed with his AI recording since his singing in rehearsals came no where near the AI version. And, I hate to admit, I kind of liked Dustina's upbeat version even though it would not have been a good fit for the mood at that point in the play. Maybe she would have caught on to this if he fed her the whole story. Who knows? But for comparison since this seems to be a hot topic everywhere these days, here are both versions if you are interested in hearing my competition. Best, Jack."

AI and the Arts

I just had my post asking for feedback on our musical "The Stable Genius" taken down from this sub because we used AI to help with one of our promotion posters (will not share here). The mod posted "AI in any form is a contamination of musical theater". My thought - at what point are we cutting the line too close here with the purists condemning the creators for using a tool for a task that has nothing to do with the actual writing/directing/production of a show?
