Emmett describes an opportunity in AI-generated music where human curation and direction will become increasingly valuable as AI makes music creation more accessible. The value shifts from technical music creation to taste-making and creative direction.

Key Points:

• AI's Role in Music Creation:

  • AI will deskill the technical process of creating music/sounds
  • Can generate thousands of variations quickly
  • Current AI music quality still needs improvement

• New Value Creation Opportunity:

  • Similar to Rick Rubin's role as a producer/curator
  • Focus on giving explicit, exact feedback
  • Help shape and direct the AI-generated content
  • Mine and discover the best outputs from many options

• Key Skills Required:

  • Ability to curate and select the right pieces
  • Talent for directing the creative process
  • Good judgment and distinction between options
  • Capability to shape music in the right direction

• Market Dynamic:

  • Different set of people will become optimal at this role
  • Shifts value from technical creation to taste-making
  • Need to direct infinite possibilities toward specific outcomes

The core opportunity is becoming the human curator/director who can effectively guide and shape AI-generated music, rather than focusing on the technical aspects of music creation.
