Summary
Samuel Smith, a singer-songwriter diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2020, is using AI to keep his music alive—hums into his phone, AI tools like Suno and Udio turn them into demos, helping him collaborate and create his new album “The Art of Letting Go,” even as his hands betrayed him. AI isn’t writing his songs or lyrics—it’s his translator, his bridge to musicians, letting him leave a legacy for his kids. This isn’t about replacing art, but expanding access, especially for those with physical limitations. Experts say AI could democratize music creation—but warn against letting it replace human touch. Smith hopes future AI evolves responsibly, with health and society in mind. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
