#155: Printers Unfiltered, AI-Generated Artists and Music

Ian and Michael kick things off with an unexpectedly passionate discussion about printers—planned obsolescence, cartridges, and the absurdities of home office tech. From there, they pivot to music in the age of AI: debating the value of “completely human-made” artistry, questioning how much talent matters when technology can do the heavy lifting, and unpacking the bizarre case of The Velvet Sundown—a completely AI-generated band that racked up streams on Spotify. It’s part rant, part reflection, and entirely unfiltered. (This description was generated with the help of AI)
