Grammy for AI generated music

Music exist in the universe not just in us..

A.I. can create music too ...

 The problem is how are we supposed to stay creative human in possession of the "musical gestures if we adopt  externally  as consumersA.I. "gesture" as someone who instead of writing an article ask A.I. to wrote one, as someone who instead of reading a book the old fashioned way , ask A.I. to give a resume of 10 books he will never read...

 What matter: art craftmanship as a growing seed in us or  something we must  as consumers consume  to succeed in society not for our own growing  soul sake first and last but for success in the hive ...

 What matter : information or meaning ?

IT is BITs from the tip of Babel PIT.

But heart beats beat bits.

Data makes us beta.

Truth manifest as the Logos by which the part "remote sensed" the Whole.

Computation as tool is useful as idol it  is death individually and collectively ...

 

Marshall Mcluhan the greatest thinker about technology  identified  in all technological history a  tetrad of factors saying that there is no 5 th factor, he never discovered one ...

But if there is complete isomorphism between words and tools as identically metaphorical, as brillantly demonstrated by McLuhan  in the "laws of nedia" book there is a fifth factor McLuhan did not see clearly : 

Any word and tool : extend, obsolesce, reverse and retrieves old ways...This is McLuhan tetrad...

But this is true for language and technology during the era for which there is no separation between technology and human language..

But we live an era where human language was separated from mankind for the first time as technology too was separated from us...

The fifth factor of any language (tower of Babel or Babel pit ) and the fifth factor unseen by McLuhan for any technological history and essence is : annihilation or self destruction ...

Language and technology merging together in A.I.  out of any human body/soul is self destruction...The power it gave is the opposite of spiritual power in each of us, the same way the fear of death result from the  forgetfulness of our own soul immortality. 

A variety of the  techno cultist crowd , the transhumanist not only see A.I. domination  as inevitable but promote the replacement of "useless eaters and workers"  by something alleged superior to us  able to manipulate better than us language as technology and technology as language out of any human reach  ...

it is clear as day that there will be in the next 100 years a majority of cyborgs(and robots) perhaps and a minority of  natural human not augmented because they cannot afford it or do not want it...

Luddite ?  Not at all , only  intelligent open mind Amish as i am ...

In the meantime i dont listen commercial music , artificial one or one designed by human ...

I am mostly in classic, jazz and Indian and Persian music...

 

“To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.” Simone Weil

A.I. is a complete uprooting of ourselves as spiritual being on earth soil and and uprooting of our soul from our body, and uprooting of our threefold social fabric  to be put in one layered controlling hive...

Will a day come when the Academy recognizes and lauds the people talent that oversees AI developed music?

Yes, probably, but as a creative person I don’t share your enthusiasm. Manipulating technology that copies from human expression yet contributes no craft, heart or soul of its own is not something that elicits admiration in my case. But given all the profit that’s waiting to be made using AI to produce imitation art, there’s no stopping this train, any more than we can stop the corrosive impacts of disinformation spread via social media or arrest climate change. In every case, the profit motive outstrips any other concern. 

 

To me, it boils down to one thing. Does it sound good and touch me emotionally?

I love new music discovery and some of the AI music I hear on You-Tube is absolutely some of the best new music I've heard!! It's shockingly good. Like NOTHING I've ever heard before.

Not only is the music emotionally involving and beautiful it's also high quality sound. It's like I would have hoped for when listening to HD or DSD to blow my socks off. It's WAY better.

This whole rat race of seeking better resolution to make music more involving is heading down the wrong road. It doesn't make the music better. Maybe a little clearer and in most cases it does nothing.

Better music makes for better listening. AI is currently producing the best sounding music I've ever heard. Hands down!

I dare you...Go to You-Tube and look for Kelly Boesch and listen to the music she puts with her incredible videos. SHE creates these videos and music using tools available to her. The AI doesn't make it, the AI helps HER make it. The concept of the final product is hers. It's beautifully done using different tools.

BTW... there are plenty of inept musicians using tools like 'Auto-tune' to help them produce crap music. They are marketed because of their appearence and have nothing to do with any sort of talent. Yes there's a few gems but not many and even they use AI to write their songs for them. 

 

Call it the AImmy 

Mc Donald dishes i love them too but i do not eat them often..

I dont conflate them with true culinary work...

 I dont doubt that for commercial movies and music A.I. will beat human productivity...

The problem is not  what the consumers want to consume (Mcdonald win) the problem is deshumanization of art, and  more marginalization of artists replaced by industrial production...

The problem is this one : Why bother to learn how to compute if computer can do it... Apply this to almost all craft and you will see what man will loose..

Also immersed in A.I. virtual world the young will loose their spiritual powers ...

Our social fabric is not mature enough to integrate this technology...

We also risk totalitarian control.  And we risk loosing the contact with our own human body (chips implants cyborg etc) 

capitalism is dead as communism in a society where there is no jobs... And where the digital money is an identification and control system...

Not long ago we even loose the ownership of our own body (mandated injection ) ..

I will stop here...

But those who see only in pink the progress of A.I. dream the head in the sand ...
