On today's episode, Rhett gives an update on the AI channel that was impersonating him — it's been taken down, but the bigger story is what's happening across YouTube right now: a cycling channel getting its video ripped off nearly scene-for-scene with AI voiceover, deepfake channels targeting female guitarists, and real creators quietly slipping AI-generated B-roll into otherwise genuine videos. Then a viewer hot take — "guitar culture and music culture aren't the same thing" — kicks off a real, personal conversation about hobbyist vs. professional identity, why we all feel pressure to monetize our passions, and why keeping something just for yourself might be the healthiest thing you can do. Plus a Patreon Q&A on how to find people to jam with if you're not on social media, a round of new music recommendations, an update on our live show at Fretboard Summit in Chicago, and we rate a viewer's genuinely wild daw-less synth-and-guitar rig.JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/dippedintoneMERCH: https://www.dippedintone.com/merchFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/dippedintoneDIPPED IN TONE IS:Rhett Shull  https://www.rhettshull.comZach Broyles / Mythos Pedals  https://mythospedals.com & https://highvoltageguitars.comProduced & Edited by Addison! https://www.instagram.com/addisonsauvanTIMESTAMPSBUY COOL GEAR (Affiliate Links):Universal Audio Enigmatic - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/o42MveFender Triple Caster - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/qzRMvqSuhr Classic S Antique - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DyEomGBenson Delay - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jeEb4bBoss Roland DM-101 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/K0Nj5ATC 2290 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/e1oz26Universal Audio Volt 876 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jeko9MBoss Katana 50 Gen3 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/DyEom5Shure 545 (new production) - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/ravMyjEcho Fix EFX3 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/APzZMKHelix Stadium - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LKVnJa
