63. Adrian Holovaty on Soundslice, Chat GPT Hallucination, and the Future of Interactive Scores

Adrian Holovaty (holovaty.com) is the founder and CEO of Soundslice (soundslice.com), a web-based application for learning music that combines audio, video, and music notation.
We recorded this conversation in July of 2025, a few weeks after Soundslice was in the news (techcrunch.com/2025/07/09/chatgpt-hallucinated…) because Chat GPT was directing its users to Soundslice promising a feature that did not exist.
What makes the story even more insane is that in response Adrian decided to quickly develop and implement that feature, making Soundslice arguably the first company in history forced to add a feature to its product because of an AI hallucination.
