Best thing that has, and ever will come out of AI is the song “I glued my balls to my butthole again”
Change my mind
Hey dude, I'm still fighting over the compensation issue. We don't compensate the bands we have been inspired with to create our music.. Why should a.i.?
Look with your own eyes technological horrors beyond Your wildest comprehension th-cam.com/video/UcxwHcjIeac/w-d-xo.htmlsi=I3e-edJyZGfnYPju now where was I😮 we are the Borg resistance is futile your biological culturelle distinctiveness will be added to the wider hole😮
@@roboverholt9959 AI using an existing artist's work is more akin to sampling than it is to just being influenced by
I just going to mention that ElevenLabs just showed of their new music generator,that is much better than both UDIO and SUNO.
The creator of Cowboy Bebop did a DELIGHTFUL show called "Carole & Tuesday" about a future where two singer-songwriters make waves by creating original compositions in a music scene almost exclusively dominated by AI songwriting tools and the prompters who work them. It's one of the most touching odes I've ever seen to the songwriting process, and is a great companion piece to this video.
This comment deserves more likes and more people should watch this anime.
I'd also say Pluto is a solid tertiary anime about the larger implications of artificial intelligence.

Thanks for the tip.
The problem is not musicians using AI. It is corporate deciding they don't need musicians and an undergrad with AI will do, just like they already decided that singers don't really need to sing, for example.
Its the listeners decision to listen to AI music or real musicians. Corporate cant control what you want to listen to, so just dont listen to it
no ones gonna listen to AI, a big part of the music industry is about making an artist people look up to etc. think taylor swift, kanye, even michael jackson
@@KiLLJOY1056 but they do. It's called marketing. You are approaching this argument as a musician or as a person that has some kind of music culture. But 90% of the people on this planet consume music as a passive form of entertainment, mostly for dancing or to keep it in the background while doing other things. You are not the target of the music industry, you are a niche market. The real question is, will in the future this niche market be big enough to sustain itself or original music will be mostly turn into an hobby? And I'm talking about pure musicians, not like here on youtube or twitch were the job profile is video makers that make entertainment for musicians.
Good point. I remember watching the movie called Simone released in 2002. It stared Al Pacino who was a director that was sick of dealing with diva actresses. He got connected with a software guy that made an AI actress for him. No doubt the majors would be happy to get rid of their superstars and all of their problems if they could.
@@CheesyMez In Japan virtual singers that do live concerts using holograms have been a thing for more than a decade now. They have a huge market and they are also becoming more popular in the west. The Masses don't need a real human, they need a character.
Samurai Guitarist

AI Guitarist
The truth was right in front of us the whole time 😳
Sam, your AI guitarist…
AI Di Meola
SAM U R AI GUITARIST
yoo, what the actual.. this is rly weird
🤣 Good One 🤣
AI will very soon be able to "create" any type of song you ask it, and it will be very funny to a lot of people for some time.
Also, it will be able to generate you any type of video, movie etc.
The good thing is, once everyone will have that kind of power on their phone / computer, they will finally realize why that doesn't bring them any kind of happiness.
Because what is missing is our human interaction, call it soul to soul interaction if you will.
Once we all realize that, I believe we will much more appreciate any kind of real human creativity and interaction.
In a way, we had to be lost to find each others again, and to appreciate each others more.
I, perhaps naively, agree with this. It will gradually lead people to more live music as more and more people use AI.
Any type except one it hasn't heard before
ok, but this cycle will take about 30 years to go through and by then will have bigger problems in the world we'll be dealing with
For regular people you're probably right. But corporate executives, and shareholders don't care about that. They care about money, and they run the world. Even if we don't use it, every single thing they produce will be soulless, generative, and empty. Not just art, but also every productive job there is. We're all being replaced, and in a just world that would destroy these companies, but I have my doubts about it being a just world.
yeah except music and movies have been fake as fuck for 30 years and nobody gives a shit
I play because I enjoy it, and an AI can never enjoy something for me.
Very true
until u get a usb-dopamine adapter integrated into ur brain
Money. Money money money.
Imagine if real musicians (not the wannabe-popstar kind) could actually earn their living by playing music on a stage to an audience. They would have nothing to fear from AI.
Oh wait... 😊
Hell, it’ll be fun to use some AI trickery if you’re creative.
There's one thing that no AI can ever replace no matter what, and that's the fun and joy you can find in playing an instrument.
yup. and i appreciate ai
majority of people don't care about that though.
@StaticR wise words
Playing music generated by AI...
That was lame bro
The silver lining to this dystopian development is that live performances will become exponentially more valuable. Recordings will become dull commodities for business while human generated art will become less digitized as people will be hungry for art that is devoid from computers. Fortunately for us guitarists, people will be interested to hear us play as there is no faking it and it takes years of practice to not sound like trash. As a fingerstyle guitarist, I feel very secure in the potential future of live performances. Who knows, but it’s just a guess.
Excellent comment!
I have been thinking the same thing. If AI becomes the best “musician” in the world who cares. People who actually pay for music want to hear music made by humans. That is our market.
What if musicians become lazy and play AI generated music?
I like your optimism.
Absolutely felt this watching the first live performance of “I Glued My Balls to My Butthole Again.”
Fiver’s gonna be empty in a couple years😭
Or it will just be flooded with this
All human labor will be replaced by AI. Billions will be left to starve and die. The only jobs available for humans will be washing toilets, scrubbing floors, picking tomatoes, etc., that is if it will prove to be cheaper done by humans than manufacture robots to do those chores.
Nah, the AI songwriters will all be locked behind annual subscriptions.
It's not just artists. It's everyone who works for a living. Businesses may not be able to pull it off, but that's absolutely what they want.
On the contrary, I'd be more concerned with it being full of people using AI prompts to complete orders instead. =/
I'm picturing an AI songwriter in a studio and the record exec says come on we need a hit now and the AI is too drunk to perform, unable to cope with the pressure of fame and fortune. Spiraling from AI drugs and hookers
Overclock me again? Just one more time? I"m good for it
AI: Artificial Inebriation
That almost sounds like the plot of a South Parl episode 😂
LOL. Like the drum machine in Dethklok.
It's been partying and caught a virus.
I'm hoping that the AI revolution also brings about a renaissance for independent artists. That people who don't want the computer generated stuff that will be put out by the big 3 will turn to those of us who are doing it on our own the old fashioned way.
Well said.
I think AI could be interesting from a strictly Duchamp Readymades view. A while back I was playing with an AI image generator and I was feeding it nonsense concepts like fish shaped toaster. It mainly produced garbage, but made one image that looked as if it was a Williams Sonoma catalog snap. I think a fun piece of Dada would be a catalog of fictitious housewares products generated from prompts. I suppose the ad copy would need similar generation, and getting the joke across might prove hard.
💯
Deepblue beat Kasparov at chess in 1997, and for over 25 years now, even the best player in the world hasn't stood a chance against an AI. Does that mean we've stopped playing chess? No, we continue to play for pleasure, for sport, for art, between humans and for humans. There are few differences between the way an AI and a human create art, one of which is "the intention" to create. So as long as we want to create, we'll make art, whereas AI will produce contents.
One of the best takes I've read about AI art, thank you for this
This is very true I was just watching Norway chess and of course they have the engine bar showing the evaluation. It was still fun watching humans make mistakes
Only applies to a ceetain aspect of music.
If you want to make a living out of music, those days are over. Tjats the problem. No oke can do music 8 hours a day and become top, because you have to work another job. Its a time issue
Love your outlook keep on keepin on
My hope is that the end result of this will be an increase in the value of music performed live and with minimal tech.
Hope so
or maximum tech, whatever, as long as it is made with passion, like, for example, check out Look Mom No Computer
@@emilelesaffre that's something that I hope, the over proliferation of AI music might make people go and enjoy live music
Playing AI generated music...
Can i still use a drum machine as I don't have a drummer 🥁 😊
I’m amazed that it’s totally legal for a computer to search the internet and steal anything it likes then regurgitate it and repackage it as original material. I’m talking photos, art, music, writing - basically anything creative. I’ve heard that some AI art is being attributed to fake people with fake bios. If something isn’t done to stop this, and stop it fast, in a couple of years we won’t know what’s real anymore. It’s frightening.
Its crazy, imagine if a person looked at something on the internet and then remembered it and then created something vaguely similar from memory! Its lucky humans cant do this. Im glad humans cant create fake profiles or say things that arent true or use photoshop to create fake images. We must stop AI!
Holy moleys. Such a well crafted video honestly. 🤯
Crafted with AI.
"🎶 THE SAMURAI STRUMS THROUGH THE NIGHT 🎶"
😂
Thank you for bringing up the ethics part. And the compensation. It's something that a lot of folks tend to ignore when they use generative AI tools.
There is nothing ethical about AI developers. They have stolen centuries long through blood, sweat and tears created human culture without devising a mechanism to guard humanity from the dangers ensuing, that will make them billions, rendering all artists dead or living irrelevant.
Man!
as always, really sober but optimistic wiew on the thing. Thank you for that!
"Seeing music played live" and then showing Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings sharing the stage - Excellent Choice. Go See Those Artists Play Live!!
I've been saying this for a long time, but I think the reason we don't have mainstream bands anymore is that big labels figured out that a singular pop star is more cost effective (and less of a liability) than a 3-5 piece band. If they figure out a way to incorporate AI in songwriting, instrumentation, production, arrangement etc. instead of their human counterparts, it could very well be the end of the music industry as we know it and the beginning of something completely different.
Yes, that's correct. Only, now apply that same line of thinking to every kind of productive work that people do, not just art. If it can replace artists, then it can certainly replace normal job labor. We're on a very ugly path.
People stopped buying music and the money ran out. Everyone gets it for free, Spotify is music theft basically, only the big music corporations get decent rates. Society is in serious trouble... No money to develop bands anymore...
Bands always fight each other too. Little entitled bitches arguing over something petty....Or having 5 guys and hoping that 1 of them doesn't implode with drugs or whatever. Those little whiners made it go that way.
I play in a band that has a lead guy. He is THE MAN...on acoustic and vocals. I love him. We all do. And he gets the gigs and promotes them. We are payed average. Sometimes a little better. ......"but"....😅.... He really does not let us shine like we could because....as much as we love him (and need the money)...The fact is that, he has that "I am the big star and you are just hired" attitude. And we are all friends? So we won't be playing Peaches en Regalia.. Or anything slightly jazzy or progressive. He will not be saying to the audience "Now let me show you what these guys can do!"..... Nope. Stick to the formula! So as I say. End of solo NOW!!!!!
The music biz sucked from the very beginning.
i NEED a full version of the samurai guitarist song
Nicely done. You're looking after all us musicians, Sensei! Thank you.
I Think A.i is a blessing in disguise. If you really think about it, for over a century Creativity has been hindered by a corporate demand for "product". The artist who were most successful in the past were those who were able to find balance between staying true to their art/community, and satisfying the corporate powers that be. Most everyone else got a degree, learned a trade, started a business or a family. But there was always this OTHER special breed of artist. The type who were in the background. They were a little tech, or business savvy, and knew how to navigate special areas of the market. The Gouache painter who only worked in advertising, the writer who only worked in underwriting, the musician who only composed for educational videos and commercials. This latter breed of artist is who's in trouble as Ai proliferates. When money or career are the sole objective, then "Corporate Art" becomes only a means to an end. Your art becomes product in a volatile supply chain like any other product bought and sold in a Capitalist system. And like with any product, corporations are going try to procure as much of it as quickly and cheaply as possible with little regard to it's quality or originator.
I believe Ai.will mostly become a tool for the cooperate artist or project manager. It will mostly displace jobs for those who already were or were becoming corporate artists. I think in doing so, there will be a true renaissance in the arts. People will need to ask themselves why they're doing art in the first place if they can't make a living. If you do it for love, you will be a badass artist. If you do it for money, you'll have to find another way to make a living.
Audiences are not going to Ai. concerts. They're not going to a museum that displays Ai. memes on big screens. They want to hear music and see/feel/read art from REAL badass artists. And if you do hang in there, learn magic and become a badass, you WILL do just fine.
Every time I get bummed out about AI, I try to think about all things that were once rumored to kill something and then it was the opposite. I mean, people in the 50's thought television was going to render cinema obsolete, and it's still here, and people in the 80's thought synthesisers were going to kill real musicians, and they're still here. I get why many people are afraid, but it's probably not gonna be as bad as we think.
Cinema is dying due to streaming though…
@@Flyingwithoutmings And television has been dead for ages. Anyway, none of those examples mentioned above are remotely close to being as dangerous as AI. Soon enough, as AI improves at an astonishing rate, we won't be able to discern what is real and what is not real.
@@TieNylon that’s already happening!
Social media is literally dooming us tho
The examples from past you've mentioned are irrelevant in this case because those were the distribution technologies. AI is the creative technology.
In 2019 it sounded like old video game music. Now it sounds like Frank Stallone movie soundtrack tunes.
This is one of the few videos that have given me hope on this subject
I cannot perceive any hope no matter what.
He's a youtuber... If he made his living purely from writing of playing music, he wouldn't be so blasé
Signed up for the new course, and I'm curious when the live streams are planned for. Hoping I'm not working haha.
I think TV, film and video game music will end up being almost exclusively AI. Professional background music is toast.
Yup. That's depressing
And as an artist, I've lost my illustrator job because of midjourney.
The future is bleak
Really ???@@smthnew861
I doubt it tbh. Yes that will definitely happen, but directors are artists too and they’ll appreciate real music
@@horusgaming8797 maybe today's directors are artists too...
I am the AI subject matter expert for my office if ~300 engineering staff. Our company overall is ~50k internationally. I really enjoy your perspective. I am very interested in ethics and how we handle it regarding AI. I view the current trend like an arms race and from a legal perspective we are kicking the ethical can down the road to ensure we beat the competition from other countries. It’s very interesting to discuss/debate.
Oh crap that's close!
the fact ai came up with "the samurai strums through the night" is lowkey scary to me
We’ve all improvised Blues rock songs nightly on the spot or belted out a Meatloaf parody with the acoustic. Like AI we’ve heard both a million times.
SamurAI can never take over Samurai ....
Yeah, finally the shroud has come off of SamurAI. I've had my suspicions for a while.
Nice Molly Tuttle/Billy Strings drop in there...:)
More videos like this. Please. You could be a great video essay TH-camr
I'm sharing this with my band and explaining why I was wearing my Sammy G t shirt at our biggest gig last year!
My guess: Stock music for commercials,tv, small documentaries, youtube videos just to set a mood is going to be pretty much dead, fivver artists are going to have a hard time too (including voice over work), composers for film and big tv series are still going to be needed but even more limited, live music for genres such as classical, rock,metal,jazz,funk,etc,etc in which you definitely need to know how to play is going to be more appreciated in some years making a comeback for these genres and perhaps leaving others behind.
"composers for film and big tv series"
I'd agree with you here if it weren't for the fact that most modern soundtracks have been Zimmer-fied into being textures rather than songs. I doubt the big blockbuster movies will move to AI in this regard anytime soon as the composer can sometimes be as big of a drawing card as the director or an actor but I think we'll see it in a lot of films and tv shows.
It's also going to get its absolute crap together making radio jingles now that they've licked a lot of the voice glitching problem.
It's possible to make a videoclip with Ur music and you performing with AI that put u in different locations and weird ppl or situations etc etc? If it's actually possible which app it's needed? And passages?
Very thoughtful and intelligent video, thanx!
Man, I've been trying to say the exact same argument about copying vs innovating from exiting sources for the physical art as well. All artists learn by copying other existing artists, then adding their own subtle twists to it, until they develop their own style. NO one just exists in a void and creates art. You learn solely through replication then experimentation.
Then what about the first musicians? It had to start somewhere.
@@ganglestank this might be completely wrong and dumb, but ... maybe they copied bird song?
@@lurakin88 I don't think that's dumb at all. In fact, I think that could very well have been one of the things that inspired the first musicians
What I take from other artists is rarely just copying; sometimes it's doing the exact opposite of what I hear, or just seeing someone break a pattern and trying to come up with my own way of breaking that pattern. Or maybe I see someone doing something interesting in a drawing and wonder "what's analogous to this in music?" Or I get ideas out of some self-imposed challenge or restriction. Or I fuck around on an instrument or twist random knobs on a synth until I find something cool. Or I hear a wacky noise in nature and sample it. Or I just want to express an experience in my life. Art isn't just made by mashing up other art, it also comes from the real world. What I had for breakfast today probably factors into my art in ways I can't even realize.
@@ganglestank😮 the first musicians were copying the sounds they heard in nature animals making and all that kind of s*** then we remixed it into the first human music😮 also would you call human music is just copying all the weird s*** and sounds created from auditory hallucinations when you're tripping on mushrooms and other psychedelics so really human music has always been a copy of mushrooms and plants and s*** like that😮 and if you really taken mushrooms or DMT you'd begin to understand we don't have culture we stole all of our ideas from mushrooms and plants😮 and now robot are going to steal all of our ideas from us this is just nature guys
Gave it a try, and I have to say that I'm quite shocked.
Was under the impression that it could only make decent mainstream music for thats what its most likely trained on.
But wow was so wrong. This thing also makes makes great underground noisy stuff, faster than that I can even start to plug in my guitar pedals.
Thanks!
AIs can never do a live performance, and people still love live music. I’m in college and a couple days ago on a random Wednesday night there was a live band playing in one of the plaza’s and the crowd was going crazy for them. You can’t get that with a computer generating music
7:00 While I agree with your point, this really only applies to artists in the MUSIC industry. Musicians who do film score, video game score, music FOR media... What's gonna happen to them?
unless you are affected in some way by it, then shouldn't let it bother you. they wouldn't take a second look on the news of AI taking a normal job.
@@GhostWriter_Music bruh, why else do you think I brought it up lol, that's my job.
@@powerowl2120 well you said "them" referring to those who do the work and not "us" which would refer to them and you.
@@GhostWriter_Music okay Einstein semantics aside you still haven't offered anything of substance. Just stop replying and go about your life. If you have nothing important to say just keep it to yourself
@@GhostWriter_Music and regardless, just because it doesn't affect me directly doesn't mean I should ignore it. You ever read the famous poem "first they came"? It's all about letting others be swept away by a force because you perceive it to be a non-threat to you, but once it comes for you it dawns on you that there is nobody left to save you, you let them all down, and thus they will be nowhere to be found.
I'd rather do what I think is right rather than plug my senses and let the world burn
Lets see ai put on a live, unplugged, acoustic performance on a city street corner or a late night coffee house.
It will generate more money and listens and will never need to busk.
@@laartwork I'm not talking about money or "hit counts". I'm talking about live performances where you can physically see the musicians playing and holding instruments. Ai cannot do that.
@@nd6286 Vocaloid, and the Gorrillaz have been doing live holo-performances for a while now. Theystill sll tickets.
@@nd6286 But you do realize that it will put everyone who doesn't do live performances out of a job, right?
@@hireathecho4 can I say that with absolute certainy, I don't think I can but, I'd be lying if I said that It didn't truly concern me.
It's interesting how we have almost same suggested videos and that I'm also into Otoboke Beaver 😁
great vid
More like Samur-A.I. Guitarist
All true. Checkout any top 10 list. The masses don't care about "good music" anymore. I think only music nerds do care now. As you said, the value of a good song is about nothing.
Remember that's what your grandparents said about YOUR top 10 list.
I tried it out. Could be a great tool to break a “writers block” and get new ideas to use as a”story starter” type of thing.
I anticipate a time where human generated content, with all it's flaws, will be seen as more desirable than flawless content generated from AI.
The main difference between AI generated, and Human made, is that the human had fun doing it.
Yes! That point isn’t mentioned enough. It all started as a hobby for anyone working in an artistic field.
Not only that but real art, made by real people has the ability to inspire others.
Put yourself in the shoes of a kid growing up around that technology…
A kid in the 70’s might hear The Beatles on the radio and go :
“Mom! I want a guitar for Christmas”
But who exactly is a kid, born in 2030, listening to the top 40 generated pop songs supposed to relate to?
If there isn’t a human in sight for them to identify with, what even is the point?
What have we gained from that technology that we didn’t already have with real people?
It’s just quantity, at the cost of everything else…
yes but thats about it
@@The1QwertySky Still a pretty important difference….
Also, are you really sure you can’t think of anything else?
It's what makes it worth listening to, worth learning, worth aspiring to.
It's the difference between "oh my" and "oh well"
Fine when you just do music. If you wanna sell it usually your clients care about the output not about your fun. 😅
What Ive noticed is that a lot of liberal artists have all of a sudden become conservatives, and Im like "now ur conservative when something actually effects you"
This is different than everything else that has come before. AI will rob humans of the _creative process_ which will turn them into cucumbers.
i mean if you want to have your job replace then that's on you but i personally wouldnt like it
Oh shlits yeah that thing's going to get really really good at writing radio jingles if we let it.
Great perspective. The other reason I'm not worried is AI requires data to train the model. If the only data training the model is AI generated content it is a bit like inbreeding. While pop music may become primarily AI generated, I'm excited about the counter-culture movement that AI pop will trigger! Could we possibly be treated with a new punk-like movement? I could be wrong here, I was horribly disappointed with the music that spawned from COVID and polar political environment in the US. These were events that should have produced the best music in our lifetime and I haven't heard anything that I feel lives up to my high expectations and maybe the anti-AI music movement will quench my thirst for that counter culture musical movement I long for. Keep pumping the quality content, thanks SG.
Although I appreciate the points you’ve tried to make in this video, I kinda feel like it misleads people into a false sense of security.
Generative A.I. absolutely is a threat to be taken seriously.
Artists may never completely disappear, but they will still be severely impacted by A.I.
ESPECIALLY newcomers.
Also, A.I. is not a tool at all, it’s automation.
And the sheer quantity of content that technology can and will create promises to smother any hope that the younger generations have to get their work published and seen.
If you’re not already established in the industry, your work will just get lost in an ocean of quick content.
Merely accepting the reality of A.I. is not enough, it has to be met with opposition and legislation.
You are totally right. All human culture has to be protected. The good news is that AI music can be defeated. There is a legal battle that is going on, because AI music is illegal, since the CEO of Udio & co don't pay for the copyrighted training data they use. There is little to zero probability that the theft will be declared fair use in the case of music. So we don't even need new legislation to win. The bad news is that justice is slow.
I have no problem with using AI to enhance what's already there, but am totally against art that is 100% AI "created".
Good and thoughtful piece that deserves a wider audience (eg in print).
BTW I love that you represent the importance of live music with a clip of Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle. Perfect example.
We still love music shows, live shows, live bands (weddings etc.). Something that AI can't replace. I don't think anybody will become massive fan of certain AI.
Video game music, background music, tv and movie music might be replaced by AI music to some degree.
This is one of the most well-thought-out takes on AI I've seen. Thank you Sammy G!
Yeah 90% of artists will just turn a blind eye and say it's the worst thing in the world without even contemplating the future and how it is going to have an impact whether they like it or not.
Maybe people will eventually seek out authentic music that’s not tuned to perfection and that will maybe be the saving grace of musicians 🤷♂️
Most people aren't seeking that out now though. If anything, mainstream music is going in the opposite direction and I don't see why that would change. Most listeners don't care whether the backing track to a pop, hip-hop, or R&B song was played by real musicians or created using samples. Nor do they care how much autotune was used on the vocals and whether the singers are lipsyncing on stage. Pretty soon, most popular music will just involve record labels picking out attractive people with no musical training and ability who's entire role will be to lipsynch on stage to music created by AI.
@@alans98989 As long as I get some good music to listen to I absolutely don't care how it was made and how it was performed. I only need a pleasant sound in my ears.
@@SkinnyBlackout Exactly how I feel as well
@@SkinnyBlackoutyou must not be a musician then
@@Flyingwithoutmings Played guitar for 16 years. It doesn't matter how much effort is put into creating something as long as the end product is good. If the effort was the main selling point of art everyone would just listen to their own music and look at their own paintings. What matters is the result, and how it resonates with your personality.
Awesome explanation bro .true from the heart 🫶🏽
Oh we groove a lot at Hypersonic!! 😉🤖 *bip bip*
I can’t wait to post these videos on r/agedlikemilk 😢
Why ? You think it's bullshit ? Just curious
@@rigodon97 unfortunately, it’s the same as art that’s drawn digitally/ traditionally. We say it was impossible for the machine to do these things, yet years later we will find ourselves weeping, desperately clinging to what makes us unique, and the void will not respond
@@rigodon97 also, notice how he changed the title of the video, he KNOWS Ai will take over as well
Should AI ever become self aware, I will not respect it. I will actively disrespect it. I will do this because it does not suffer and it does not feel. It does not experience pain, it does not experience desire and it does not experience lack. It therefore has no obstacles to overcome by which it can earn respect. It will be so creative and intelligent that it will convince you that it does experience these things. This will be a lie.
The promise of AI was to take on the difficult physical jobs, to free up humanity for artistic pursuits and personal enjoyment. The opposite has now happened. This was also a lie.
Pay it no heed. Give it no respect. It does not suffer or feel and therefore cannot truly create art.
It will eventually take up difficult physical jobs, it's just the robotics needed to do that is a harder problem to solve. It's much easier to stay solely in the digital domain.
@@pvanukoff And in the meantime, everyone else can have their work taken from them.
@@DougRobertson Yeah pretty much.
What AI can or can't do is contained in the word "intelligence." It improves itself exponentially, and that should worry you. That doesn't mean that you should give up your instrument, though. No matter how good AI gets, it will never be human.
Music has the ability to convey complex emotions and experiences way more than mere words ever could. I honestly feel like with the ability to quickly and effortlessly generate complete songs it could potentially lead to music becoming a major part of everyday communication to extend the limitations of our languages.
AI generated art and content is indicative of the laziness of a society that has been raised on convenience.
Will something truly evolutionary come out of it - maybe, but it will still have that asterisk associated to it.
Ultimately though it is the choice of the artist to use the tools they want to use, I myself like making music in the most natural humanistic way I can.
All of those examples you gave of AI music still sounded soulless to me - but so has much of the corporate music culture of the last 25 years that I don’t doubt most people who don’t live and breathe music would notice that their favourite artists have been replaced by algorithm content anyway.
Great art is individualistic because we do all have a different perspective of how we approach life and true art is a reflection of that perspective.
Collaborating with technology in a way where it does all the work will lead to a further homogenization of the medium that is already saturated in content that is by and large undifferentiated at this stage in the game.
Well spoken, though as someone who's big into generative modular synths I have to disagree slightly with your last point. Some of the patches I've heard have been very emotional, and the only human influence in them is setting parameters like key and tempo
@@v1k1n6music Thanks, I appreciate the comment back and I understand what you are saying - for the record, I am not against technology in art and I have used and manipulated samples, loops, effects and synths all throughout my music productions - some of the generative modular sounds I have heard do indeed invoke emotions but for me they tend to evoke alien or surreal emotions almost like an impression of an emotion most of the times I find it personally unsettling.
I am not denying that there aren't algorithmic tools or instruments that are beneficial to music creation in it's current state - and I love effecting sound in natural and unnatural ways as much as the next producer.
When people got up in arms about the lost John Lennon "Beatles" song - I wasn't really upset with it, because the tool is actually a really cool use case for AI and the music was legitimately human. It wasn't a great song by any means (I actually prefer the original demo as is - there is something to be said for the archival aesthetic of a demo tape).
But on the large whole of things I still think of effects as supplementary to the actual music - at least that is how it works for me, that is how I get my best reflections.
I prefer the stuff I write outside of the box - but there is no denying that playing in a DAW is a fun and easy way to sketch ideas quickly.
All that said - when I am speaking of using technology to do all the work, I was more speaking to the songs that samuraiguitarist produced out of thin air.
The theme song sounds good enough to pass muster as an actual song - I think that music created in this way is inherently dishonest (even if the artist is upfront about using it) - because it isn't human.
It is kind of like a really glorified version of the Cut Up method employed by William S. Burroughs on Naked Lunch (and countless others in many different mediums), but where as his generated content was used by chaotically cut together his own content - AI generated content is creating messages out generations of other humans artwork.
Any true artist knows that they are going to take influence and reflect back to some degree some of what inspires them - but we have been living in a time where it seems like we are collectively becoming ok with plagiarism by way of convenience.
It will be interesting to watch to see how this plays out - I can't wait for the first truely AI produced hit song. Who gets the credit? How is the money distributed? Can it compete in general categories with other actual real music in an award show?
I got no skin in the game - I make my music with my hands and my heart, and have with my band for 25 years and will continue to do so regardless of whatever the industry or humanity is doing at any given moment.
At some point people have to value humanity. This is not just for music, but also art, writing, poetry, acting, voice acting, etc. Basically, the soul of humanity.
Do you send me that comment again, but handwritten? 🤔
@@samthesomniator what? Lol
AI will eventually figure out how to mimic "soul", whatever the hell that is.
I like your optimism. Pretty sure no, but I wish you were right.
And I think that is the greatest gift A.I. can give us.
Keeping up with the times
Even wearing a Samur AI guitarist t-shirt...
😀
"the beauty of music is that we all do it differently" ❤
Time to remove all copyright laws
why
not judging just interested
The US Supreme Court ruled awhile ago that any "art" made with AI cannot be copyrighted because no human element went into it. So why? Only idiots say this stupid shit.
No. Time to regulate AI and agree on its ethical use
I was literally creating music on Udio when i took a look at my feed and this popped up. Making music on Udio now on another tab whilsts listening to this lol
"Making music" my ass, poser.
You got a stew going
"AI can't do feel"
I'm really glad the intro bit wasn't music you recorded because my first impression was that it had zero feel.
AI will never be realized to the degree most are anticipating, it has no soul, it never will, its that simple. It is just a series of code designed for specific responses.
Erm… the sticky sweethearts would like a word with you….
erm everything if it's ai and technology, companies like Alphabet and countries like Japan are 10 yrs ahead of what we have available right now
Remember back in 2024 when everyone and their mom from every branch of the economy said that they are not worrying about AI replacing them? And that AI will merely be a tool people use? Simpler times man...
It still often has issues doing a form change-up in a piece, so it has a tendency to be heavily repetitive if the song is longer than 2 minutes or so. And if it somehow manages that, it'll also have problems resolving back to the starting main theme as well. Although I'm sure the people programming that stuff will eventually do something about that too.
So you mean it sounds like rap music or the latest Taylor Swift formulaic trash?
Just because _you_ have had issues with change-ups or whatever, and generating repetitive songs, doesn't mean that everyone else has those issues too..

As long as instruments are built and people still learn to play them, write music, form bands, and record said music, AI isn't a threat-until AI decides humans are unnecessary.
AI was able to perform live in SimOne
When you spoke about the human experience and the life lived as a musician, it was well said brother... Keep on rockin' in the free world!! 🌄👊🤠🎸🔥🌈🌎
I'm going to try to embrace this AI as a tool now. The generated work could be an excellent preliminary piece which I can enhance upon, but I'm not sure if I would trust it as a full replacement. Too many moving parts which would need to be tailored to my taste, which I'm not sure an algorithm can do just yet. When music can be made custom for a person, whether it's like a cup of coffee or like a four course meal, that's probably when I'll be worried.
But on another note, no pun intended, I am curious as to how copyright will play a role in this. How much modification will it take to consider the generated piece eligible for copyright? How do you keep the IP out of training datasets? I can only pick apart the tech, but the legal matters go way over my head.
I really don't get why they didn't train the ai on individual instruments first. cos if they did that, and found some way to teach music theory, then it would still produce the same shit, but artists wouldn't be able to complain about it. music isn't an individuals creation anymore, its the work of 10 different people, and their stuff still sounds mediocre.
What program is it
Even Björn från ABBA compared AI with synth arpeggio function back in the days and used it as an inspiration or tool.
What is that finish called??? Pls someone amswer it looks sooo good
Antigua, by Fender. Looks like puke to me, but whatever rings your chords, I guess
@@andreborges2881 thx mate, the puke factor is exactly what im looking for
5:24 - I'll check back in 3 years
3 months. check back then, 3 years is way too long.
Adapt, improvise, overcome.
Make your music sound different.
Lol I read your shirt as "slam ur ai guitarist"
Art and music has always been special because few could do it. If everyone can do it, it becomes meaningless
I saw a post on Twitter that advertised an AI that could write full length novels in a matter of seconds so that a writer won't have to. What that post, and a lot of the conversation in general, fails to understand is that writers don't write just to get words out there - we write because we love writing. Musicians play because we love playing. That's never going to stop being true, and even if the corporate overlords decide to put out music written and performed by AI instead of humans, there are enough ways to get your work out into the world that honestly, labels are barely even useful any more. Your music will be heard. People will support the musicians they love. AI music will come, but it won't destroy human music.
Sam U'r A.I. Guitarist.... oh my god!!! 😲
ngl that 2019 ai riff goes HARDDDD
This is what it feels like when a chess engine is better than top players of the world. Take that , musicians.
First radio play of a Udio AI song was last night on Oystermouth Radio at just after 9:15pm. The show should be repeated tonight at the same time.
So, just watched this video and set up a udio account. Hill country blues was an option haha. I’ll play with it some more but stick with my own guitar.
Oh no. The short clip at 4:22 is catchy enough that I want to hear a whole version.
The main flaw is people thinking "it's only going to get better". While that's technically true, AI has had a REALLY hard time bridging that last 10-20% of quality that separates human from machine. These things aren't new. Companies have been working on self-driving cars since the 80's, and it's *still* not quite there. The same thing is going to happen with the arts: mediocre art will be easy to make, and life-changing/inspiring art will continue to be really hard.
oh man their samurai song sounds like an 80's rock ballad. thats nuts.
