AI can only make mediocre music, the average song with average text, it couldn’t invent the next bohemian rhapsody, whatever you ask it to do will be met with a statistical mean of it’s training data. Thus average depthless music.
We only need a license that pays the electricity bill instead of making too much money.
I hope it makes artists get creative again to compete. Anything above average music would do.
I’m disappointed in the abilities of current AI and even more disappointed that pile of trash is still beating humans because they decided to optimize music so much towards mainstream average likings that it can indeed be generated. Don’t you think the music industry deserves this?
We’re going to continue to be disappointed by AI artwork in every form because you can’t just artificially create an amalgamation of music and expect it to be any good.
The AI hype is going to die a quick death, in my opinion, and I don’t even think we’re that far off from it. Attempting to remove the human element from artistic creation is a fool’s errand, and the sooner it fails and dies the better off we’ll all be.
I think it will at least find a niche where it outperformes humans, like generating lobby/elevator music or ‘generic greek background ambiance music’ for a restaurant or something. Also the easy parts of the music market, same chords and beats with meaningless text sung on autotune are in its reach. It exists, people will make or save money with it, I don’t think it is going away.

You’re probably right, unfortunately. I guess I’d just file it under things that nobody wants or needs. The whole scenario you just described is really sad, and I struggle to find the actual value in it.
Agreed. Tossing whole music niches to AI would be sad. “Generic restaurant Greek music” is… still music. Still traditional, historied, HUMAN singing and art. Just because you (original commenter) don’t care doesn’t mean no one else does. I want to hear humans sing. Not algorithms.

AI is definitely capable of making great music right now.
Is it capable of creating another masterpiece, or introduce a new style of music? That’s debatable, but I guess in the future it will be possible.
Do I want to listen to AI music on regular basis though? Fuck no.
Got any links?
This reads like a hot steaming pile of AI trash.
