In my own opinion as a musician, I'm okay with AI assistance in music, but I feel a bit weird seeing artists vocals used without their permission to create an entirely new song and I'm not talking about sampling a verse or a line, more so using their actual voice to appear as if it is them
@aaronoleary I agree. I think it will become a powerful tool to boost your creativity. There is the lingering thought though that it could turn into a dystopian reality if it becomes too powerful. Image if anybody can write an original song with any artists voice with just the push of a button…
Interesting to to see Grimes licensing her voice for 50% revenue share on any Ai music using it.
Perhaps may older musicians will do the same that aren't writing any more?
Also saw an interesting use case of it being used to personalise music to the listens name (for advertising).
I hope people continue to form emotional bonds with music in the future rather than having it as just for the background.
Music is very personal to everyone. When electronic music came, it pissed off the bands that worked hard drumming and playing bass. But it didn't take the job away. Old school music lovers still love seeing live bands.
GenZ, on the other hand are already inclined to music produced by computers.
Music produced by AI is great. I heard few songs. But I won't enjoy it. I want to see few persons on the stage and hear the story why they wrote that song. There has to be a story.
AI doesn't have the story.
I think it will encourage talented artists to write better and more complex music, which is good. In general, you would want to always beat AI to stay on the top.
Ethics and Morality aside, I think AI music is pretty amazing, that Drake and Kanye Collab was fire, I see how some musicians will be intimidated by this, but it's hard to not leverage such a amazing technology
I think the value for legitimate instrumentalists, musicianship and live music appreciation will sky rocket. Robots mimicking the audio of a song is nice and all but the watching a band play a great song written by a machine will probably be something worth paying for.
Being a music producer myself, I’ve used so many tools to date and the idea of being able to get a concept out of your head quicker, more efficiently and with great sonic detail without knowing how to write notation for a full orchestra is extremely exciting. Musical taste will rise as a whole. But wants most exciting is what the next Billion people/kids (in 3rd world countries) who have not been on the internet or have had access to tech will create.
@arkbm Same! What excites me is removing barriers to producing music. As it stands, it takes at least a couple of years before you can make anything good with current teaching methods.
Throw in AI for tutoring and assistance in, say beat-making, and it should dramatically shorten that time.
It sounds amazing and interesting though I would love that real feel of human vocals when aye-ayes fully goes on board but I hope the negative part of faith doesn't put real artist out of business
I feel AI generated music will be the next big thing. Just like generated art, you might be able to define different genres and styles through prompts, resulting in a truly diversified music. I feel it will be helpful for musicians.
I kinda feel bummed out for the real musicians since AI music will evolve to a point where we can no longer clearly distinguish which are real compositions by real people. It will come to a point where most people will doubt any music created by real musicians.
I think there is little doubt that AI generated music will solve its current issues in short term (lack of long term dependencies, lack of human interpretation, lack of speed). So it will because more and more useful to get a creativity boost and execution speed.
I really wonder how it will affect DAW interfaces.
I think it should remain individual. The musician conveys his feelings into the song. If he raps under AI-written beats, I think it's probably fine. I think so..
Though I find AI-generated music to be an intriguing and novel method to investigate new creative avenues, I think that it still falls short of the emotional depth and complexity that human composers can offer to their work.
It's intriguing to investigate AI music. It's fascinating to observe how technology can now produce fresh musical compositions without the need for human intervention.
