the future of music is AI.

if it all sounds like this example, the future of music is bleak.



 
Yep! The future of music and art will be interesting (putting it nicely.)

Not blurry at all to me, can’t wait till there is a generator I can type in any of my favorite musicians and have an album created, if there isn’t one already.

As a consumer, it's killer! As a musician or artist, maybe not as much.

It would be great making original backing tracks or songs by selecting different musicians.
 
I'm holding out for when they start making that 3D projection technology they demonstrate so infrequently for us sheeple so that I can finally have a real band with... four of me haha.

Honestly, they used the word "worst" in that short song snippet and it actually is the worst. No feel, nothing. As cold as the s*x robots that are coming soon to a store near you.
 
I don't like this at all.... I fear change! :ROFLMAO:

Seriously this AI stuff is going to make humans obsolete...
 
If Spotify can stream AI music and its ok because it’s “original” and someone created it by typing the prompts, then I wonder if the opposite is true. If I upload a song to Spotify and then create 100,000 AI agents and all they do is stream my song because I created prompts telling them what to do, is that human?
 
This is scary... Spotify would love nothing more than to create an entire library of music they don't have to pay any royalties to...

I've been watching a robot arm fail spectacularly at my work. It was supposed to be operational months ago, but there are so many minor problems that the robot doesn't adjust to correct. It's easy to think "A machine can do that" until you try to design the machine. This is supposed to be mindless remedial labor, and we can't get the machine to function properly at putting parts in a machine and taking them out. At no point in the process did they realize that a human looks at every part. A human adjust to make parts fit. A human stops spraying lubricant when a FUCKING FIREBALL SHOOTS UP THE SIDE OF THE MACHINE! The robot only does what it's programmed to do. In the end, the same people are still doing the same job, just now with a worthless fucking robot arm in the way. That's not innovation. That's undervaluing labor. It had consequences.

I'm not worried about AI. I play music in bars. My voice isn't perfect. It crackles as the notes fade. It goes sharp at the beginning of the loud parts. It's not always in pitch, but it's real. It expresses my emotions. If you feel them too, then we have a moment. A juke box isn't going to praise your local sports team, or even recognize the shirt you wore to the bar, but I can make you part of the show. I can make you feel welcomed.

Besides, it's only like 10-20% of data to be bad to corrupt a learning model. Look at how quick the early chat bots turned racist. We'll engage with it and people will invest, only for it to age like milk. Before long, it will be the punchline everyone has heard, and the real joke are the people that invested their life savings into it.
 
The ugly truth is that AI is going to be here for a while. You can either embrace it and learn to use it as a tool, or you can get passed by. Personally, I am not a fan... but change is coming.

Can I get an AI backing track of nothing but kazoos and cowbells?

I think Spotify are the ones creating a ton of the AI music coming out.. then they pay themselves royalties .. money laundering basically

For a while but maybe not for long. I'm not seeing much of a boost in productivity anywhere. Not seeing much workers replaced by AI (or else unemployment would skyrocket everywhere, which is not the case).
When corporate investors will tire of dumping truckloads of money in the AI blackhole, it all may grind to a halt....
 
I feel personally attacked by that one.

I can do all that. I'm a studio membranophonist now. Hit me up and I'll record all the kazoo you could ever want (and then some).
But are you a classically trained cowbellist?
 
My band has been using AI as a creative tool about six months. We mostly use it as a writing and producer tool. It can do a lot more than that.

Use AI to make a few dozen versions of the material. Pick the best parts of a few. Edit them several times till everyone in the band agrees on the results. Figure out how to actually play the riff AI created. Then the band decides how much we are actually going to use. You can start by loading your own riffs or let AI do all of it. Obviously there is many other ways it can be used.

What kind of cowbell parts you writing that you need cowbell paradiddles?

Story time:

We were trying out drummers when this guy from a European drum corp outfit came to try out. He moved to town and wanted to join the band. We had a kit set up and he came to jam. He played the cowbell for ten minutes straight during a jam and we had to stop and remind him that the rest of the kit exists. He had great sticking skills, but couldn't play the kit for shit. He literally played a cowbell for a living and couldn't work the hi-hat. Then he had the audacity to ask our business plan.

Trust me, you don't want that. Play your own cowbell.

Hit me up for kazoo tracks though.
