The Ultrasonics Declare War on “Boring” AI with ‘Doctor โขSoul’ Playlist
A defiant responseโค to the rise of artificial intelligence in art has arrived from The Ultrasonics,a collective championing the raw,imperfectโค beauty of human creation. Following Brianโ Eno’s recent, stark assessment – “Artificial intelligence is boring, it’s like anโฃ inflatable doll. โคIt โdoesn’tโ look anything like โa woman, but some โpeople use it to masturbate,” as told โto โฃSpanish journalist Pablo R. Roces – The Ultrasonics โขhave โreleased “Doctor โคSoul,” a 17-track playlist celebrating artists brimming with life, contradiction, and โemotional depth. The compilation serves as a direct counterpointโ to โคwhat they perceiveโ as the โฃsterile mimicry of AI-generated art.
“We mightโ potentially be ultrasonic, butโ never boringโฆ” declares the collective, positioning themselves asโ advocates for the “organic music of creators full of life, โrage, love, and imperfections.” The โplaylist, unveiled this โweek, honors recently deceased reggaeโฃ legend Jimmy โฃCliffโค alongside a diverse roster of musical figures, โincluding Warren Zevon, Sammyโ Davis โJr., Tom waits,โค and even Eno himself.
