Hey guys, ready or not, 2024 is here and we here at Breaking Points are already thinking

of ways we can up our game for this critical election.

We rely on our premium subs to expand coverage, upgrade the studio, add staff, give you guys

the best independent coverage that is possible.

If you like what we're all about, it just means the absolute world to have your support.

But enough with that, let's get to the show.

So we've been covering here a lot, the current and potential impact of AI and there was one

story that we're really interested in, but didn't feel we had the expertise to fully tackle,

which is there's been a few AI-generated songs, the one that popped into my feed first was

a Drake the Weekend song that sounded pretty good to my ear and sounded pretty realistic.

So potential to upend the music industry.

So to talk about all of this, we wanted to bring in music expert Anthony Fantano, he's

on YouTube at the Needle Drop.

Great to meet you sir.

Hey, nice to meet you too.

Yeah, so first of all, that first Drake in the Weekend song, just on a music

level, like my ear is very untrained, et cetera.

But did you like the song?

I'm not a huge Drake fan.

I like some of his music, not all of his music.

I like the Weekend, actually, and I kind of liked it to be honest with you.

Yeah, I thought the song was pretty good.
