This lengthy conversation with CJ Carr, of the extreme music AI research lab Dadabots, covers a lot of cool topics. We discuss Dadabots' origins, history, and their avant-garde creative process. We also touched on neural synthesis and its applications in music, as well as the role of curation in music generation. Additionally, we dive into their creative collaborations in AI and Web3, the convergence of Web3 and AI technologies, and “dangerous NFTs”. Finally, we explore the role of the artist in this new world, with a special focus on the "genre knob" that CJ is currently exploring.
