Episode description

Today I’m sharing an episode of Life With Machines—a new podcast hosted by Baratunde Thurston.
In this episode, Baratunde sits down with King Willonius, the genius behind “BBL Drizzy.” They talk about his journey creating the first AI-generated hit song, explore Willonius’ innovative blend of music, comedy, tech, and futuristic storytelling, and they ask: How is AI reshaping the boundaries of artistic expression?
