I keep falling for AI bands

I didn't click. Is that an AI band?
How are you "falling" for this? There are tons of avenues to find music made by real people. I hate that this is even a thing.
 
"New Releases" section of my music app, hit play and was into it, googled the band to learn more and turns out it's AI.

This has happened a couple times to me lol.
 
YT music app? Or something else?
I must admit that I too hit play on new releases, but nothing has been AI for me (at least I don't think).
 
I don't just randomly hit play on "music" to avoid this situation :dunno:

Generally speaking, I find new bands by finding out about them first, and then listening to their music
 
Yeah YT Music. I also use the "start mix" feature a lot. Just did it to listen to the new The Heavy Eyes song and then this AI song got served next.

But I'm into it...
 
I'd rather listen to all the bands that trained that AI model. I hope it gets sued.

Go look up Lionize if you want the real thing.

 
Drums give a lot away. They are always to grid and they never groove or swing naturally. It is def harder to tell though because essentially every producer now wants the drum performance to sound like this and snapped to grid. So you end up with an over compressed polished drum track. This tune was pretty good though.. I love the AI singers. Always great tone. They went with the Nickleback Kroeger special on this vocalist.
 
A.I. or real, lately just seems to be a let down equally. Really glad I’m not young and trying to do something right now and got to do it when it was about playing loud in a room and getting on stage (with no smart phones in the crowd) and recording together in a room.
Last few years I was active MySpace was happening (we soon discovered it to be worthless for actual networking) but social media hadn’t become what it is now. Creating music seems to have become just as insular and isolated as every other damn thing we do and now we have software, that can do in 15 minutes, what we can toil over for weeks.
Very soon no-one will care (non musicians), because as a species we always choose convenience over craft, short term comfort over long term gain. A.I. music will probably have a much larger impact on the death of amps and instruments than any modeller.

Every producer wants this? Or you mean like if a band is self-produced? I can’t think of any bands that want or would want this other than Periphery, but I don’t consider theme a band. About 10 years ago (give or take several years) it happened a lot but that’s out of inexperienced producers that don’t know what happens with quantized drums and they are just learning about DAW’s. Then they learned that they sound like AI before AI existed (periphery)
 
Why are we promoting AI music on Rig Talk? Seems like poison in the well. Or maybe the OP is trying to promote
 
we’re not in Kansas anymore



although gotta admit i probably would’ve thought this was cool in my high school punk rock years

Sadly YES, most producers want this stuff snapped to grid and they want it perfect. They want everyone playing to the click and it makes editing much easier when it all lines up nice and tidy. Take any modern production, find the tempo, then add a click over it and in most cases, it is lining up. Personally I set a click and more or less play drums to it, but then everything else after uses the drums as the click, not a real click. This keeps the performance alive. But most producers are snapping to grid. Makes everything easier for them.
 
Spotify has been pimping AI music. There is a plugin that blocks AI bands if you use the browser version of Spotify.

But everything I listen to is old so I’m not concerned all that much. I just feel bad for the real bands, and bad enough Spotify doesn’t pay them very much in the first place. I considered canceling Spotify but since a lot of what I listen to is obscure bands from the 60s and 70s I’d screw them out of .00001 cents per play. :(
