Artificial Intelligence and Music

[sty]

A good learning exercise for yourself, which has been mentioned before, is to use one of the current AI tools like ChatGPT etc. to do something for you in a topic that you know really well. You will find huge glaring mistakes in it I'm sure. So how could you possibly trust what it tells you about a topic you know little or less?

AI tools to take out the drudgery of creative work will be the big winner I hope!

If they do use AI to make music its only going to be pop music anyway, and thats pretty much garbage these days so no one will know the difference or care, its interesting how streaming has changed modern pop music though, it all goes bang straight into the chorus, cause if you don't hook the listener in the first 5 or so seconds they will skip to the next track in the playlist...

The more useful applications will be the ones that are trained on more constrained, better curated sets of source material, then pointed at specific use cases. The more general AI just has too many opportunities to go rogue.

Imagine how confused it would be if all you gave it was ACDC albums

Every song will be titled “Who Made Who”

You can't have synthetic rock stars.

Art is as much about the artist as it is about the the art. Artificial is not the real thing.

Was watching something the other day and the dude said “Your ears are analog so digital amps will never sound right!”, interesting take.

Tell that to ABBA.

Um.......
Milli Vanilli?
Spice Girls?
Bay City Rollers?
And what about that Japanese Anime singer who fills stadiums?

About them - real people with real fans. Yup, Anime is real art created by real artists.

and you missed Gorillaz, and I'd fight for them not being synthetic other than the videos

That's silly. The issue is sampling rate/ quantity of information. I'd challenge anyone to correctly determine a blind digital vs analogue test with the best available gear. What hasn't happened in my (limited) experience is digital amps feeling analogue to play. It's only a matter of time though.

I went looking for this, slightly disappointed, get practicing AI.

There’s no stopping it, AI music will just create a few new genres and they’ll have to make up some new laws defining who and what wrote what cause peeps won’t stand for being out done by AIs, especially when it comes to awards and what not.

There’ll be AI produced music, sub genres therein, probably a nice big grey area of AI assisted music, then human produced music will become a boutique little sub genre that only the cool cats listen too…

I have read a few posts (so anecdote more than data) about movie extras signing away the rights to their likeness, so they can be digitally scanned and reused in any movie in perpetuity. Might be only a matter of time before that moves beyond extras. That was a big part of what was happening with the guild strikes in the USA last year.
