AI music is the next big thing it seems, and it's got a lot of people talking about it, some support, others not so much. What do you think?

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.

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…

There's some pretty trippy art applications going the other way (audio-> video) https://www.replicatecodex.com/m... I've honestly listened to this quite a bit too: https://www.replicatecodex.com/m...

Singers will have their voice A.I cloned and monetized soon with permission-less royalties payouts. mark my words.

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.

Interesting, I think it will democratize the music-making process by allowing anyone to create original music with little or no musical training. Additionally, AI music can be used for commercial purposes, such as soundtracks for movies, video games, and advertising. Types of music that are not going to required a super professional studio behind

Where do you even find AI music? I've seen headlines about it but I've never actually listened to any stuff

@naomichao it’s all happening on the AI Hub discord, and most of the things that get posted are taken down a few hours later https://discord.gg/9Aeep9sJrt

I like the idea of playing some music I like and then getting a lot of original and similar content.

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.

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.

Isn't Auto-Tune already AI in music?

I think musicians will probably feel less enthusiastic. As a consumer I think it’s pretty cool. Now essentially we can have infinite covers

I think AI could be really good in the beat department.
Aaron O'Leary
@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.

I think you're preaching to the choir haha Everyone on PH is going to be pro AI

AI makes a good melody but the lyrics are awful. It just repeats same thing over over again.

While AI music may offer exciting new possibilities for the industry, it ultimately lacks the emotional depth and creativity that human musicians bring to their craft. Let's not forget to support and champion real artists who pour their hearts into their work.
Alexander Okonji
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
Chad Lynch
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.

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
