Forge AI functions strictly as a tool—not a co-author or collaborator.
Mark R. Bolduc does not collect revenue from advertisements or royalties generated by his music. If he ever elects to do so in the future, any such proceeds will be directed exclusively to a charity of his choosing, with 100% of funds from that activity donated to the designated cause.
Creations Statement
AI Creation Statement by Mark R. Bolduc
AI-assisted artists are artists—full stop.
Artificial intelligence is a creative tool, no different in principle than a guitar, piano, saxophone, drum kit, or synthesizer. It does not replace creativity; it responds to it. Vision, intent, taste, and emotional direction originate with the human creator.
If this form of creativity is not for you, that is completely fair. Art has always been subjective. The simple choice is not to listen. Many of us are not chasing trends or approval—we are setting our songs free to share what we feel, what we live, and what we carry each day.
Someday—likely soon—there will be a distinct category for AI-assisted creation. Until then, we exist in a space where we must choose the closest available genre or style to describe what we have carefully crafted. That limitation does not diminish the work. Many songs take weeks or months to develop, refine, and complete, just as they do for traditional artists.
I support creation in all forms. While I am cautious about fully autonomous AI creating without human direction, I recognize that evolution is inevitable. That understanding is precisely why I created
Forge—a custom AI system developed over two years to serve as my tool of choice. Forge exists to execute vision, not replace it.
