AI is the invitation to put down your acoustic, pick up an electric guitar and play it loud. 

An acoustic guitar with a single person's voice will not project enough sound to be heard in a noisy environment like your local pub.

So what's the economical solution to share your music?

Buildings like old churches used to be designed with acoustic amplification in mind. The building itself was designed to have resonance, to allow sound from the front to be heard by everyone in attendance.

There was also a deeply ingrained etiquette in old churches. Attendees in the pews were taught from a young age to be quiet and listen. The old fellas at your local front bar are not under similar social obligation.

Together, the expensive architectural design of churches, combined with the entrenched reverence for authority, served to amplify the power of those who were sanctioned to perform from their sacred altars.

Advances in technology have continued to shatter barriers that prevented ordinary people from sharing their voice, restoring a sense of power and autonomy to the average person.

I don't have a team of employees, marketing experts and minions to help me with creative projects, but I would like to share my work, to let it be heard. I'll use the tools available to allow the creative signal that chooses to flow through me to be heard.

The invention of the electric guitar was pivotal in shaping the experience of live music.  Similarly AI offers us an invitation, an invitation to amplify our creativity, our music, our voice.

To be heard in a noisy place, you can either build the place, as well as the social hierarchy to drown out the noise.

Or you can plug in your electric guitar.

What creative force within you is ready to be amplified?
