I don't want to hear songs created by AI. The emotional response to a song is a deeply human form of connection, from the singer's and songwriter's hearts to one's own. In this increasingly automated and alienating world, why would you want to do that? Quite apart from any considerations of copyright, why would you want to take that human heart connection away from people? The world of AI-generated songs (and performers) is not one I wish to live in. It makes me want to go away and live on an island somewhere as a hermit. It's one of the many things about our current antihuman/inhuman civilisational trajectory that (almost) makes me want to give up on our species. Still, though, I battle on... AI needs to be regulated so that it only improves human health, joy, flourishing and creativity. #ai #alienation #songs #copyright #humancentredworld

Well written. What makes a human being human is more than you can imagine. This world is becoming such a desolate place, Please stop threatening REALNESS! By the way, Hope I wasn't responding to an A.I. bot.

Deborah W.A. Foulkes, MITI, MA May I suggest a word for AI activity? Aiman! This is generated by a living, breathing human.

As a musician and music lover myself, I will not buy, support, or participate in any music, movie sound track, or radio programming that uses any form of AI generated non-music. I don't even like musical groups that use backing tracks with rare exception. The arts are the most basic and emotionally connected form of human expression and to try and replicate a cheap emotionless copy of that is untenable to me.

I think AI will find it's place in music, just like drum machines, pro-tools, auto-tune, etc. I remember when AI art generators came out and how quickly the novelty wore off. I'm hopeful it might even usher in new talent that really pushes their music to sound more human and bring back a more raw unpolished and reckless sound so we can get away from the over-production of everything

Agreed. I do believe there's some creativity that can come from AI music. For example, the artist Grimes has an interesting project where she's letting people clone her voice and use it in tracks. The difference, of course, is that she's CHOSEN to use her voice in this way. I think the potential for AI to harm human artists outweighs any of the positives. Especially if music labels start trying to claim that they own a band or singer's voice, sound, etc, and try to create AI copycats. But I do think it could lead to some interesting collaborations, when used correctly.

Music is basic to humanity. If we, as a member of a society, treat this art as a product, a simple creation designed to elicit emotion and receive response, we reduce our lives to a simple equation. Music is far more than an equation, and if we want our existence to become a simple set of symbols we denigrate our lives to something that can be written on a single sheet of paper. Making music means expressing what it is to be human. Hearing music means hearing what it is to be human. When we assume that our experiences/emotions/expressions can be taught to a non-human machine and reproduced at-will and for-profit of a non-human corporation, we reduce what humanity is and reduce our existence to something easily thrown away, as we would with our weekly trash. I hold a BFA in music. My education can be rendered irrelevant by an algorithm. God help us.

I'm a muso. But for 25 years I was also a copywriter. That job description has now gone. Thanks to chatGPT. I also did art direction. That job is now gone thanks to openAI. Music is next to fall into the maw of the AI Kraken. We are f*cked. Humans I mean. Stupid, weak, scared and complacent. Just the way the Agenda21 1%ers want it. My fellow musos, lets just pen some songs about how wrong we are, instead of how narcissistic we are. But that probably won't sell. So, yup, we are doomed.

AI's advancement in music, despite protests from prominent artists, is an unstoppable trend, democratizing creative expression. It's a misconception that AI only replicates; it actually enables unique compositions. The industry has always seen artists influence each other; AI is a new facet of this tradition. The debate often highlights the concerns of affluent artists, overshadowing the broader impact on everyday workers globally, who face similar technological disruptions without a voice. This wave of change in music, part of a larger AI integration in various sectors, is reshaping the landscape, necessitating adaptation and consideration beyond the exclusive realm of celebrity artists.

3moDeborah W.A. Foulkes, MITI, MA SILLY! This is NOT about generating AI versions of common songs. It's about AI software which can parse an MP3 and create the sheet music to it. Humans - most likely - would play the music. Once sheet music is available anyone with a lot of perseverance can create a cover. Or create a similar song. You probably didn't think this through: The people interested in an AI playback are composers. The current AI MP3 parsing programs are anthemscore and hitnmix (ripx). Musescore allows you to scan sheet music and play it back - although the resulting sheet music usually requires human editing. Incidentally, AI gets better and better. A day is coming where a software program will consume a guitar solo framework - and then render "Jimmi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, AI generated solos" . With selecting the guitarist as if it were a different instrument. But that day hasn't yet arrived. Actually, for the new generation of musicians learning music AI is a game changer and a very good thing. Like a miracle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aArmHmYEk1Y
