Grammy for AI generated music

@wfowenmd 

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 ...

I am sure AI will produce some outstanding music... and certainly could become a category. I'm sure it will enable people that cannot play an instrument to create music, and push the boundaries that humans have not yet touched. I'm sure there will be some real junk, maybe for the elevators.
