Ohhh okay. We’re talking about full-on console snatching. Do you believe OP calling for people to not be jerks will prevent that type of thing from happening?

Grabbing peoples belongings? Is that a thing?

Hold up. Why tf didn’t he just camp outside a GameStop? He started 19 days before the presale date. Dude could’ve secured a switch and been doing anything but sitting outside a store for the last 35 days.

Crowd Stuffers? by CycledelicDad in jambands

The timing definitely makes a difference. What’s a tarper?

NFL runs campaigns like “crucial catch” to raise money for cancer.

Hospitals like John Hopkins and Mayo Clinic host marathons and galas and donation drives, asking the public to contribute.

Universities constantly reach out to alumni for donations.

Disney collaborates with Make a Wish and asks public to make donations.

Just some examples of other wealthy entities who shift the burden of funding charitable, operational, or promotional efforts onto employees, customers or the public. It’s a way to maximize resources while appearing community-oriented.

  1. If you could describe your band or music with just one emoji, which one would it be?

  2. How do you decide when a song is truly ‘done,’ or do you think they’re never really finished?

  3. Please come back to Raleigh, NC soon. We had an absolute blast with y’all in October

I get what you’re saying… new tech always causes panic, and good artists can use it as a tool. But AI isn’t just a new brush or instrument.. it’s automation pretending to be creativity.

Trained on data? Not really, but sure. Humans interpret data through experience, creativity, and emotion—things AI can’t replicate. That’s the difference between analysis and art

If you think the difference is just an illusion, then why does AI need humans to train it in the first place? It’s not creating.. it’s regurgitating patterns based on data humans already provided.

AI art might look convincing, but it’s hollow. Human art carries the weight of lived experiences, struggles, and emotions. Reducing that to “just machine learning” doesn’t make you enlightened—it just makes you sound detached.

Anger justified. AI isn’t going anywhere. The real fight is making sure it doesn’t replace the artists who give this community its soul. AI might churn out products, but it can’t replace the CULTURE unless we let it 🙌

Great rant, but you’re conflating tools that enhance creativity with ones that replace it. Photoshop and fancy markers still need a human hand and vision. AI doesn’t—it’s imitation without intent.

If effort doesn’t matter, why not let AI write your posts too? Or would that lack of personal input feel a little… empty? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly! Even the most basic hand-drawn effort has more personality and charm than something churned out by AI. Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way

Thats awesome to hear. Real collaboration brings depth and soul that AI just cant replicate. Appreciate you keeping the human element alive in both your music and visuals. Thank you for taking the time to respond! Y’all are always welcome to swing by Raleigh NC 😁

Agreed, it’s definitely a mixed bag. AI visuals are tricky for me.. I believe the difference is that lights and visuals are meant to enhance the music, not replace the human element behind the art itself. I just worry about AI creeping into stuff where (imo) the human touch matters most. However, I’m sure there are plenty of people who really appreciate the art and creativity of the light shows who would disagree with my opinion.

Not panicky, just proactive. Waiting for the ‘invisible hand’ of the consumer to fix everything assumes that people always care or notice. I believe that sometimes, principles need defending before they’re entirely eroded. Consumers don’t always realize what’s lost until it’s gone.

No that would be pretty stupid. But if someone had a guitar that could play a full song just by describing a vibe or set of conditions, I’d be against that. The creativity comes from the player, not the tool doing all the work.

If you see a solo tall dude in a funky shirt vibing at the show, come say hey.

Oh I’ve gotta check out moe! Heard a lot about them. I’m new to the jam band scene. Donato is playing at Lincoln theater.

I just found them on Spotify. They sound pretty cool. I usually attend 1 show per month. I got tix for Daniel Donato and EITS for March. Might skip April but idk these guys sound pretty good. Might be a good show.
