Fantastic video! Here are my thoughts: The major record labels haven’t truly bounced back to their glory days since Napster disrupted the music industry. Sure, they’re still profitable, but nothing like the levels they enjoyed from the '70s onwards. Nowadays, musicians are in a position where they have to churn out as much content as possible on streaming platforms just to make a living from music alone. Anyone who’s recorded an album knows how demanding the process can be-organising writing sessions, creating demos, booking studio time, rehearsing, recording, mixing, mastering, and finally marketing the project. It’s a monumental effort. Looking ahead, imagine Sony needing a new album from someone like Bruno Mars. Will they spend months and tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of pounds hiring session musicians, writers, and producers? Or will they simply feed AI his previous albums, let it generate 100 tracks in minutes, and have Bruno lay down vocals on top? At this point, vocalists seem to be the only role that’s "safe." Even so, AI is creeping into that space too-just look at the controversy with Activision and Call of Duty replacing voice actors with AI. It’s clear no one is immune. I think many bands will also start using this technology. Why spend months crafting and refining ideas when AI can generate an entire album in a fraction of the time? If they want a “human touch,” they could simply learn the AI-generated parts, record them, and claim them as their own. It’s a tough reality to face, but the pace of AI development is staggering. The example of old modelling software evolving was a really valid point. Take drum VSTs like Superior Drummer, for instance-these tools have advanced to the point where, if dialled in and programmed properly, most people don’t even realise they’re not listening to a real drummer. The industry is undeniably changing, and it’s hard to predict where this will lead. But one thing is clear: the lines between human and AI contributions are blurring faster than we ever imagined.
I think the guitar has already been replaced with synth. Since like 10-20 years ago. I don't think AI anything will ever be a thing because the human ear will always be able to tell the difference. I could be wrong because every generation tends to get more accustomed to the whole Artificial Intelligence thing but I don't see it ever taking off.
Yeah whatever may be true in terms of our recognition, I do however believe that if an entire generation is brought up on AI music, they will begin to prefer it. I worry that authentic, real music will begin to sound old to the youngest generation, similar to how we perceive music recorded prior to the 1950’s. Of course, just speculation on my part but it sometimes keeps me up at night lol!
I hate ai music. Doesn't matter how good it is. The second i find out it's not human, it ceases to be music. I think the masses will gobble up ai slop, but that's not music to me
It is human. Ai is nothing more than a collection of all music that has ever been uploaded on line put in a large soup pot mixed and served a spoonful at a time. Ai has never (yet) created anything new or creative. Without pulling from human compiled work. It’s a copywright issue for sure and the consumers of this stuff thinking they are now musicians which is the majority don’t care. And musicians couldn’t even come together to create a union like actors did I don’t see musicians coming together to do anything about this. We’ll just have to wait until AI is making movies with actors. And hope that it affects us when actors do something about it.
@willnadamusic that's why it's not human. Same with ai art. It's just stolen human art, regurgitated back out. Except it can mimick the original creator. There are already musicians in legal battles against corporations for their own work that has been scraped up by ai. I can picture a future where nobody can produce anything new without it getting scraped up by ai and packaged and put to market before the creator can by a huge mega corporation.
@@MSpotatoes right there in legal battle because it’s human work that belongs to other humans saying it’s not human is giving it more credit than it deserves
Of course it will. On the other hand, this doesn't mean we will stop making music. Music it's not a sport: we do it because we have something to say. It will not ever matter if machines can do it better of us.
I’m just blown away on how far technology has come in the music industry. You and I are the same age and when I was in High School I worked in a Mom and Pop music store and I remember when digital was just coming into the scene. It was actually pure crap. It wasn’t going to replace analog or tube amps anytime soon, but Now………with my Helix and all my plugins I can basically have any amp tone and effect I want. And with JTC I have all your sheet music and backing tracks. I’m perfectly happy with that level of technology. I hope AI doesn’t replace musicians. There’s something about having an organic identity and Being able to play the music that a person created and being blown away by their creativity. No matter how good AI’s music would be it would automatically feel sterile to me. I showed your video of The Crypt to a friend of mine and told him “ this is the next song I’m working on”. I wouldn’t have shown him anything if AI wrote it.
Thank you 🙏🏼 yeah it’s one of those things that brings me anxiety as a musician, simply because of the uncertainty. And I definitely remember how bad digital stuff was lol everyone held the POD on a pedestal, but when I had a good play on one, there were only a decent few settings in my opinion. But yeah, now, the game has totally changed!
@@Tramaineguitar I hope that anxiety goes away because you have a fan and customer for life here. As a guitarist that is not a songwriter, but can site read music I rely heavily on Artists like yourself to create new and exciting material. It’s only to show off to my friends, family, and coworkers, but I’m nothing without the sheet music. May as well just play Smoke on the Water. lol
apparently the progression AI is making is starting to slow....I predict a bit of a crash within 3 years. We can call it "market adjustment" if you like.
Come back in 3 years, I work with AI, much of what you hear in media, is ill informed garbage, a lot of hype, however, the reality of social change with this, will be greater than horse to automobiles, there will be winners and losers, but the genie is out the bottle, the capabilities are becoming exponential.
AI can replace humans in EVERY artistic endeavor and it won't matter to me... because expressing myself and having an outlet for my creative juices is why I do what I do. AI can't take it away from me. As far as commercial mainstream music, absolutely humans will be out the picture before you know it.... people will always make music though.
Yeah this a great point, music is one of the most enjoyable things to create. So people will never not wanna do that. And of course, we also have the power to promote that ourselves.
Yes AI will replace us. Half of the guitarists online already sound like a guitar pro midi file ran through an amp sim anyway. There was a show called Red Dwarf that featured a hologram and you could barely tell him apart from the real humans. And the tech is much better now.
Yes, of course. This is all first gen AI we’re talking about for the most part. This won’t replace live musicians (I don’t think)but for a listening experience yes AI will be able to produce most if not all mediums convincingly. Any of the greatest musicians you think of borrowed from other musicians as we all do, which is essentially what AI is going to do infinitely better than it is now sooner rather than later. It’s only a matter of time. Can’t find something to watch on Netflix? No problem, just type in the type of story and other prompts into an AI engine and it will spit out a movie, score included. We’ve created the very thing that may just make us obsolete…..how human. Rant over -)
Nice to see an open-minded take on this. Ai won't replace people with real talent any time soon - if ever. For me though, it's a great tool because I have very little talent. I can't sing but now I create my own songs in a way that wasn't previously possible. However, even though my guitar playing sucks I think I'll stick with doing that myself.
No replacing the greatness of players like yourself. AI can do a lot, but its a Long way off from creating in the way a ultra talented human can. However, "Fingers dancing on a fretboard of doom" haha, is epic. Now I want you to make a song called "Fretboard of Doom" a super heavy metal song with multiple solos! Hey, its Christmas, I can ask Santa for Anything I want, lol.
Sadly I think AI music will be our future. No matter how much I hate it, the market is decided by demands. The demands of majority are changing, most people cannot go to buy a drink without their phones today, comparing this with only 10 years ago this example may explain some ideas. A rare record of Hendrix may not be attractive for anyone in near future, because today's kids are the future. This should not be a question "if AI ...?", it should be a question "will we want it?". If majority of the generation do not care, then we will learn how not to care. Performers would always stand still, but the producers will always follow the demands for sure. Finally we will like what is served
Yeah the plan is to do a little experiment and see what happens! Like I was pleasantly surprised at the one track I showed in this vid. The lyrics cracked me up, but the progression was pretty cool haha
No matter how much AI they make, thay won't stop me from playing guitar outdoors. That's something AI can't replace: your freedom of playing live a real guitar.
I think it depends... maybe in the music industry, but guitarists won't stop playing just because there is a "better" (less costly, full control and excellent results) option. I think we humans will, most often than not, gravitate towards other humans-musicians (i.e. if some guitar music sounds on the PA of a train or metro station, almost nobody cares; but if there's a real musician there, performing exactly the same piece, it will attract at least some people's attention). Maybe the future of guitarists is mostly on live performances. Maybe AI will replace bands and allow more guitarists (and other musicians) to record and publish their work, which otherwise would not see the light of day. The only thing we know for sure is that there will be a huge socio-cultural change very soon, but ironically it is also too early to evaluate if these changes are mostly good or mostly bad. So, imho: just relax and enjoy the ride (we can't get off anyway 🤷♂😅😂). AI may be super intelligent, but never doubt of the human will, art, passion and spirit. Be happy.
Yeah I think it’s gonna be interesting. But I’m kinda with you on the matter. I don’t believe it can ever sound organic. Maybe the masses won’t care about that, especially those brought up on it who now see ‘organic’ as old and outdated. But there will be plenty still, who prefer that.
@@Tramaineguitar You're right: it all depends on the people who ultimately chooses what they want to hear. Me, for example, being almost 50, I terribly miss guitar solos everywhere. They used to be the cherry on top of almost any song, and now you find those almost only in certain music niches. I also miss winds' solos (like sax or trumpet) instead of being only used as part of a brassy background... but I digress. About the "organic" sound in AIs... I humbly think simply that until AIs get to experiment by themselves -not the command, but the URGENCY to express something that is mostly of value only to themselves and produce some kind of media to tell the world of their idea, even if nobody cares... _then_ we can start about "organic" sound on AI... 👍 Until now, all AI has done is simply copying and pasting media born from the soul of a human.
What if we were to destroy every A.I data center in this country and perhaps beyond? Would that get rid of A.I completely or make it SO unusable that no one would want to use it? Or no?
I think even eliminating all datacenters in the world won't stop AI evolution. As long as there are computers in the world (even phones), there is the possibility of AI... and that's not taking into account those humans that stubbornly will keep building and programming everything again and again.
@@wacharaboy Yeah but those data centers are there for a reason, right? Why spend so much money on something that isn't necessary for this technology? Makes absolutely no sense.
Will A.I get SO good that creating anything original, like a line of melody or notes, would be impossible because somewhere out there, an A.I song generator already generated it up before you did? Because that's what I fear the most, more than it actually replacing human artists and talent which sucks bad enough as it is. If that is the case now I definitely know I'm not having any children. I'm eighteen and I would like my kids to become the things I always wanted, like musicians, artists and composers. Not live and grow up in a world where A.I does all those things, due to fascism, capitalism and greed.
Do you mean like, for example, AI getting to generate all possible musical combinations, so when an artists gets inspired and produces a musical idea, it happens to be already taken by the AI?
@@AlekseyMaksimovichPeshkov Unlikely. Truly original human compositions remain with their creators until they are shared, and AI wouldn’t generate them unless they are generic enough to already exist within its training data. Human creativity stems from emotion, lived experience, and personal perspective - elements that AI fundamentally lacks. While AI can produce countless combinations, it doesn't genuinely create in the way humans do, as it relies entirely on patterns and data it has already been exposed to.
@@gazzyb85 So if I did remember the music from my dreams and sleep, I don't need to be afraid that an A.I song generator already generated up at least that melody before I did?
I have been a professional musician and I am a professional software developer, I use AI in both activities, the rapid advance of AI in the last year has been scary and I understand how this tech works, tbh, very few musicians I know, make any kind of living out of music already, streaming is killing revenue, there is 70 years of popular music online, it's just how it is, I see old farts complaining about this, but tbh, it's just how it is, if you don't like it, buy vinyl and hope the modern world goes away, it won't. If you are a musician and can write good songs or have great ideas, AI can be a fantastic, ideas generator, AI lyrics are crap and you still need to be able to mix and master etc, the real power of these tools is when you upload parts of songs you are working on and have played yourself into the AI and collaborate with it,just like you would with session musicians or a producer. I also use AI in software development, it's helpful, especially for reference, and has some use, I just finished a contract at a F1 team writing software, didn't find much of a use for it, and that was cutting edge, but I can see where things are going, I don't expect to be writing code in 5 years and I am very good at it, I will probably be working with AI's, as I am in on the ground floor with this tech and have 30 years of being a technologist, I am not worried about AI in music, but I am concerned for the vast majority of people who are about see mass unemployment because of it, people have no idea what's coming.
Human's recordings became obsolete ... Performing live in real time gets The Value ... at the end of the day, playing together in real time matters more than recording that ...
Interesting video ! I'm curious for your AI song. AI is learning from everything that is available on the net, so the more you post your songs, the more the AI algorithm will "learn" from you and will be able to "reproduce" you...but stilI I would prefer to see you and not an AI model for sure...
It'll destroy the music industry. Even if record companies produce entire A.i bands, concerts and lps, no-one will listen. They'll be creating their own stuff on whatever machine they carry in their pocket, with absolutely no effort or time waste.
I think it will be awhile before ai can replicate the tones of a real guitar. For example, I like phish and I subsvlcribe to their app. Each venue I can tell sounds slightly different, I can tell he is playing a 50k guitar and what amps he is using and where the speakers are recorded. It's not a soundboard like most. There are so many variables that go into those concerts that interest me and make me enjoy it over other bands. I don't think Ai would take into consideration the type of tubescreamer, the modifications it's had done to it, then where it's placed in the pedal chain. There are some phish tours where I cannot stand the tone and it's unlistenable to me. Most phish fans don't even notice. So it will be awhile before it can satisfy me.
If you can't feel, you can't play or write music. Music is born of human emotion. Period. It may impress you but thats it. Tell "a.i" to make a song that makes you cry or impowers you. It will fail. 🎸😎
I get where you’re coming from, but what can make someone cry can make others laugh. Like I understand why Michael Jackson became a billionaire but I wouldn’t personally pay a penny to see Taylor swift (yet she has more fans than I’ll ever have). I mean, AI music is bound to move someone to tears at some point, maybe it already has?
@Tramaineguitar I'm not holding my breath, Music moves you when it's made with passion which comes from human experience. (Experiencing emotion) Everything I have heard from a.i is very dry.
@@Tramaineguitar Shit dude, just checked out your playing, I'm new to your channel, nice work. Just subscribed. 🎸👍I just started posting a month ago. (Newbie) You're very good. Keep playing with all that passion and hopefully folks will choose actual musicians to listen to.
Thanks 🙏🏼 yeah I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve heard some compositions that I thought were great, totally flew under my radar. So when it was revealed it was AI, I was dumbfounded. Don’t get me wrong, these were simple pop songs, but it surprised me. I’m eager to find out, but simultaneously concerned about what it will be like 5 years from now
Haha- that was ridiculous, and funny. I can appreciate AI assisting in the composition, but taking it as a replacement to the creative minds of musicians seems a bit of a stretch on its own.
Haha! Yeah I was almost on the floor laughing but equally impressed by the structure of it lol 😂 Yeah I get that! But I remember kinda thinking about this sort of thing (AI music) over a decade ago, and thinking it’s possible but probably 50 years away. But now it’s basically here, I’m now thinking what’s it gonna be like in another 10-15 years? Saying that, I think one of the things we love when listening to music is a band’s or artist’s ’style’. I don’t think AI will be able to authentically reproduce an original style anytime soon. Nor can it ever be inspired (hopefully anyway!)
Nope, they're just apps, it gets marketed as AI because it's trending. AI lacks feeling, it will never understand why we're doing music in the first place. AI videos of people eating is odd, it doesn't know what happens to the food, it only knows that it disappears. AI music could be theoretically perfect and sound like it's real, however, human stories and the experience of emotional pain belongs to US. what digital entity could claim they put emotional content into a guitar solo based on their own experience of life? It has no storyline of it's own. Of all the many ways that this technology can help us, what type of demented toxic force thought it was a good idea to try to replace the artists of the world? To have our Arts done for us by computer programs? There's no sentience yet, that robot Amika hasn't even chosen a wig. It's just programmers trying to cash in on Spotify etc. When music returns to the mechanical realm, things will be better for us all. AI music is worthless.
What really annoys me with this "Ai" bullshit is it should be doing our dishes so we have more time to be creative but no it's making music and doing works of art while we do the scivying.., creativity comes from people not machines
AI is not composing music-it is plagiarizing. The poetry of that song was derived gibberish. It can co-exist, but not replace us. Welcome to The Matrix! Lol!
I think that even if AI surpasses us in their ability to create music there will still be a prominent place for humans in the field. Music isn't about "I'm only going to listen to the best of whats out there and ignore everything else 😡". It's more about the joy of the discovery of something you love. To put it another way, there's no heirarchy or tier list that says Mozart is better than SOAD or whatever. If you're good at all, people will enjoy listening to what you create.
Yeah totally! And humans are weird, we get in ‘moods’ - sometimes I get fed up of metal, and even guitar music and just wanna listen to some Kenny Garret or something. So I think there will always be that also.
This guy in the video looks like AI. But I am hoping the future of music will not suck more than a lot of it already does today. I like real musicians that play and not backing tracks and lip syncing. I'm not going to ever pay a cent to see or listen to AI generated concerts or AI generated music. I mean its truly already pathetic watching people like Swift lip sync to her tracks and no band behind her at all. Sorry to sound like an ass. But we're supposed to progress in our arts, not cheat our fans.
Right now AI is just a parrot. It's a very fast parrot that can iterate very quickly. It needs human creative works to rearrange and build from. But that's how humans create too and AI will eventually outpace us. Innovation will happen by happy accident just like it does for us.
I know for sure that AI will never replace my desire to play guitar.

Yeah I think it’s gonna be interesting. But I’m kinda with you on the matter. I don’t believe it can ever sound organic. Maybe the masses won’t care about that, especially those brought up on it who now see ‘organic’ as old and outdated. But there will be plenty still, who prefer that.
@@Tramaineguitar You're right: it all depends on the people who ultimately chooses what they want to hear. Me, for example, being almost 50, I terribly miss guitar solos everywhere. They used to be the cherry on top of almost any song, and now you find those almost only in certain music niches. I also miss winds' solos (like sax or trumpet) instead of being only used as part of a brassy background... but I digress.
About the "organic" sound in AIs... I humbly think simply that until AIs get to experiment by themselves -not the command, but the URGENCY to express something that is mostly of value only to themselves and produce some kind of media to tell the world of their idea, even if nobody cares... _then_ we can start about "organic" sound on AI... 👍
Until now, all AI has done is simply copying and pasting media born from the soul of a human.
Full control with AI? A missing element is consciousness that creates through many forms of clairaudience artists tap into.
What if we were to destroy every A.I data center in this country and perhaps beyond? Would that get rid of A.I completely or make it SO unusable that no one would want to use it? Or no?
I think even eliminating all datacenters in the world won't stop AI evolution. As long as there are computers in the world (even phones), there is the possibility of AI... and that's not taking into account those humans that stubbornly will keep building and programming everything again and again.
@@wacharaboy Yeah but those data centers are there for a reason, right? Why spend so much money on something that isn't necessary for this technology? Makes absolutely no sense.
Will A.I get SO good that creating anything original, like a line of melody or notes, would be impossible because somewhere out there, an A.I song generator already generated it up before you did? Because that's what I fear the most, more than it actually replacing human artists and talent which sucks bad enough as it is. If that is the case now I definitely know I'm not having any children. I'm eighteen and I would like my kids to become the things I always wanted, like musicians, artists and composers. Not live and grow up in a world where A.I does all those things, due to fascism, capitalism and greed.
Do you mean like, for example, AI getting to generate all possible musical combinations, so when an artists gets inspired and produces a musical idea, it happens to be already taken by the AI?
@@wacharaboy Yes exactly. Will it?
@@AlekseyMaksimovichPeshkov Unlikely. Truly original human compositions remain with their creators until they are shared, and AI wouldn’t generate them unless they are generic enough to already exist within its training data. Human creativity stems from emotion, lived experience, and personal perspective - elements that AI fundamentally lacks. While AI can produce countless combinations, it doesn't genuinely create in the way humans do, as it relies entirely on patterns and data it has already been exposed to.
@@gazzyb85 So if I did remember the music from my dreams and sleep, I don't need to be afraid that an A.I song generator already generated up at least that melody before I did?
I have been a professional musician and I am a professional software developer, I use AI in both activities, the rapid advance of AI in the last year has been scary and I understand how this tech works, tbh, very few musicians I know, make any kind of living out of music already, streaming is killing revenue, there is 70 years of popular music online, it's just how it is, I see old farts complaining about this, but tbh, it's just how it is, if you don't like it, buy vinyl and hope the modern world goes away, it won't. If you are a musician and can write good songs or have great ideas, AI can be a fantastic, ideas generator, AI lyrics are crap and you still need to be able to mix and master etc, the real power of these tools is when you upload parts of songs you are working on and have played yourself into the AI and collaborate with it,just like you would with session musicians or a producer. I also use AI in software development, it's helpful, especially for reference, and has some use, I just finished a contract at a F1 team writing software, didn't find much of a use for it, and that was cutting edge, but I can see where things are going, I don't expect to be writing code in 5 years and I am very good at it, I will probably be working with AI's, as I am in on the ground floor with this tech and have 30 years of being a technologist, I am not worried about AI in music, but I am concerned for the vast majority of people who are about see mass unemployment because of it, people have no idea what's coming.
Human's recordings became obsolete ... Performing live in real time gets The Value ... at the end of the day, playing together in real time matters more than recording that ...
Interesting video ! I'm curious for your AI song. AI is learning from everything that is available on the net, so the more you post your songs, the more the AI algorithm will "learn" from you and will be able to "reproduce" you...but stilI I would prefer to see you and not an AI model for sure...
It'll destroy the music industry. Even if record companies produce entire A.i bands, concerts and lps, no-one will listen. They'll be creating their own stuff on whatever machine they carry in their pocket, with absolutely no effort or time waste.
I think it will be awhile before ai can replicate the tones of a real guitar. For example, I like phish and I subsvlcribe to their app. Each venue I can tell sounds slightly different, I can tell he is playing a 50k guitar and what amps he is using and where the speakers are recorded. It's not a soundboard like most. There are so many variables that go into those concerts that interest me and make me enjoy it over other bands. I don't think Ai would take into consideration the type of tubescreamer, the modifications it's had done to it, then where it's placed in the pedal chain. There are some phish tours where I cannot stand the tone and it's unlistenable to me. Most phish fans don't even notice. So it will be awhile before it can satisfy me.
If you can't feel, you can't play or write music. Music is born of human emotion. Period.
It may impress you but thats it.
Tell "a.i" to make a song that makes you cry or impowers you.
It will fail. 🎸😎
I get where you’re coming from, but what can make someone cry can make others laugh. Like I understand why Michael Jackson became a billionaire but I wouldn’t personally pay a penny to see Taylor swift (yet she has more fans than I’ll ever have). I mean, AI music is bound to move someone to tears at some point, maybe it already has?
@Tramaineguitar I'm not holding my breath,
Music moves you when it's made with passion which comes from human experience. (Experiencing emotion) Everything I have heard from a.i is very dry.
@@Tramaineguitar Shit dude, just checked out your playing, I'm new to your channel, nice work. Just subscribed. 🎸👍I just started posting a month ago. (Newbie)
You're very good. Keep playing with all that passion and hopefully folks will choose actual musicians to listen to.
Thanks 🙏🏼 yeah I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve heard some compositions that I thought were great, totally flew under my radar. So when it was revealed it was AI, I was dumbfounded. Don’t get me wrong, these were simple pop songs, but it surprised me. I’m eager to find out, but simultaneously concerned about what it will be like 5 years from now
Haha- that was ridiculous, and funny. I can appreciate AI assisting in the composition, but taking it as a replacement to the creative minds of musicians seems a bit of a stretch on its own.
Haha! Yeah I was almost on the floor laughing but equally impressed by the structure of it lol 😂
Yeah I get that! But I remember kinda thinking about this sort of thing (AI music) over a decade ago, and thinking it’s possible but probably 50 years away. But now it’s basically here, I’m now thinking what’s it gonna be like in another 10-15 years?
Saying that, I think one of the things we love when listening to music is a band’s or artist’s ’style’. I don’t think AI will be able to authentically reproduce an original style anytime soon. Nor can it ever be inspired (hopefully anyway!)
Copywrite. Is a legal matter. To copy in this way is intellectual property theft.
Are you referring to my idea of reproducing the AI music?
Nope, they're just apps, it gets marketed as AI because it's trending. AI lacks feeling, it will never understand why we're doing music in the first place. AI videos of people eating is odd, it doesn't know what happens to the food, it only knows that it disappears. AI music could be theoretically perfect and sound like it's real, however, human stories and the experience of emotional pain belongs to US. what digital entity could claim they put emotional content into a guitar solo based on their own experience of life? It has no storyline of it's own. Of all the many ways that this technology can help us, what type of demented toxic force thought it was a good idea to try to replace the artists of the world? To have our Arts done for us by computer programs? There's no sentience yet, that robot Amika hasn't even chosen a wig. It's just programmers trying to cash in on Spotify etc. When music returns to the mechanical realm, things will be better for us all. AI music is worthless.
AI will kill off bad, average and ordinary songwriters whose written music does sound Like AI anyway ....that's probably a good thing
What really annoys me with this "Ai" bullshit is it should be doing our dishes so we have more time to be creative but no it's making music and doing works of art while we do the scivying.., creativity comes from people not machines
Fuck, you’re right lol or have it change my strings, tell me exactly where my favourite pick landed after it literally ran out of my hand mid-take
🤖💘
AI is not composing music-it is plagiarizing. The poetry of that song was derived gibberish. It can co-exist, but not replace us. Welcome to The Matrix! Lol!
I think that even if AI surpasses us in their ability to create music there will still be a prominent place for humans in the field.
Music isn't about "I'm only going to listen to the best of whats out there and ignore everything else 😡". It's more about the joy of the discovery of something you love. To put it another way, there's no heirarchy or tier list that says Mozart is better than SOAD or whatever. If you're good at all, people will enjoy listening to what you create.
Yeah totally! And humans are weird, we get in ‘moods’ - sometimes I get fed up of metal, and even guitar music and just wanna listen to some Kenny Garret or something. So I think there will always be that also.
This guy in the video looks like AI. But I am hoping the future of music will not suck more than a lot of it already does today. I like real musicians that play and not backing tracks and lip syncing. I'm not going to ever pay a cent to see or listen to AI generated concerts or AI generated music. I mean its truly already pathetic watching people like Swift lip sync to her tracks and no band behind her at all.
Sorry to sound like an ass. But we're supposed to progress in our arts, not cheat our fans.
Right now AI is just a parrot. It's a very fast parrot that can iterate very quickly. It needs human creative works to rearrange and build from. But that's how humans create too and AI will eventually outpace us. Innovation will happen by happy accident just like it does for us.
