In this debut episode of AI Planet, we dive into one of the most pressing creative questions of our time: Can AI truly replace human-made music — or is it destined to remain a tool that supports, but never surpasses, real artistry?

I share personal insights as a musician, exploring how our brains respond differently to human vs. AI-created sounds, why authenticity still matters, and what the future might hold for artists in the age of algorithms.

Along the way, we’ll talk about:

Why our ears can sense “real” vs. “fake” music

How trust breaks instantly when we discover a song isn’t human

Why this might actually be good news for real musicians

The role AI can play as a creative assistant instead of a replacement

🎧 Whether you’re a musician, a fan, or just curious about where technology is taking us, this episode will help you think about music — and AI — in a new light.
