Transcript

00:00:58.000 Let's go back to Tulsa to 9163.
00:01:06.000 When I first heard that on KEXP, I thought, oh, fuck, please don't be about the Tulsa massacres where we burnt down Wall Street.
00:01:14.000 Don't tell me misinformation is in my rock and roll.
00:01:18.000 Nothing to do with that.
00:01:18.000 Don't worry.
00:01:19.000 He'd anchor a band from London, England.
00:01:22.000 Fucking great.
00:01:24.000 I worry that maybe ChatGPT AI is going to start making our music.
00:01:31.000 Did you see this?
00:01:32.000 They told it to make a...
00:01:37.000 It's called The Red Hand Files, issue number 218.
00:01:41.000 It's Nick Cave's newsletter.
00:01:42.000 And people have been asking ChatGPT to make Nick Cave songs.
00:01:46.000 And they send them to him.
00:01:47.000 He's not happy.
00:01:49.000 I'm impressed.
00:01:50.000 Nick's not impressed.
00:01:52.000 He doesn't like it.
00:01:54.000 Yeah, the left one.
00:01:58.000 So this is a computer writing a Nick Cave song.
00:02:03.000 In the depths of the night I hear a call, a voice that echoes through the hall.
00:02:08.000 It's a siren song that pulls me in, takes me to a place where I can't begin.
00:02:13.000 I am the sinner, I am the saint.
00:02:16.000 I am the darkness, I am the light.
00:02:18.000 I am the hunter, I am the prey.
00:02:21.000 I am the devil, I am the savior.
00:02:24.000 I walk the streets with my head held high.
00:02:27.000 This is fucking nick game.
00:02:29.000 I've got my demons, but I'll make them fly.
00:02:32.000 I'll dance with the devil and play his game.
00:02:35.000 I'll be the one to call his name.
00:02:37.000 Repeat chorus.
00:02:38.000 I've got the blood of angels on my hands.
00:02:40.000 I've got the fire of hell in my eyes.
00:02:42.000 I'm the king of the abysses.
00:02:44.000 It must be so insulting to realize you're that predictable, you know?
00:02:49.000 But we are.
00:02:50.000 We're pretty similar.
00:02:52.000 I mean, I'm very special, obviously, but pretty much everyone on my street is the same.
00:03:00.000 Normies, boring normies.
00:03:03.000 And it makes you think, wait a minute, if you can feed it a pile of Nick Cave songs and it comes back with something this good, can I feed it my entire personality?
00:03:15.000 Like at the end of that movie, Chappie with Diantward, he's shot and he's dying.
00:03:22.000 So Chappie helps this packy scientist download his brain into the computer.
00:03:29.000 Doesn't take that long.
00:03:30.000 And then he takes it from the computer and puts it in another robot.
00:03:33.000 And then it's Chappie and his friend, the other robot.
00:03:37.000 And his entire personality is in there.
00:03:39.000 And then I'm thinking, like, yeah, there we go.
00:03:42.000 That was fast.
00:03:44.000 I have thousands of hours of content that I've created.
00:03:48.000 You can have Chappie playing while we talk about this.
00:03:51.000 So I wouldn't even have to sit and say stuff to AI.
00:03:57.000 What's that noise?
00:04:01.000 Oh, it's behind us.
00:04:05.000 I could just feed it.
00:04:06.000 Free speech.
00:04:08.000 Oh, my God.
00:04:08.000 All my vice articles.
00:04:11.000 Oh, then you're like, well, that was a different me.
00:04:12.000 I was much younger then.
00:04:13.000 I was like 25.
00:04:15.000 I'm not sure I want that uploaded.
00:04:17.000 The more recent, the better.
00:04:18.000 When are you done formulating it?
00:04:21.000 Probably like when you have kids.
00:04:23.000 That's when you begin.
00:04:24.000 No, that's when you're done, I should say.
00:04:27.000 So everything post-kid I would want set in the computer.
00:04:31.000 And then I die, right?
00:04:32.000 Then there's a screen in the living room, in the bookshelf.
00:04:37.000 And kids come home and they say, like, hey, blah, blah, blah, happened.
00:04:42.000 And I would answer the way I would answer.
00:04:46.000 So now we can die.
00:04:47.000 Now we're immortal.
00:04:50.000 There he is.
00:04:51.000 Look.
00:04:52.000 Turn it up.
00:04:53.000 Micah, please take it slow.
