Grammy for AI generated music


I’m elderly and a seasoned listener. I am also a traditionalist and institutionalist. I grew up in Memphis,TN listening and having the honor to meet some amazing musicians — like Elvis, Issac Hayes, Al Green, Staple Singers, Otis Redding, Barkays, Booker T & MG’s, and Rufus Thomas. Stax Records, King Studios, Blues Alley, and Beale Street were only a bus stop away, where they sometimes welcomed limited resource black kids like me into the studios and clubs. Today, I heard a newly released, AI generated R&B ballad. It was strikingly good. The originator openly acknowledged that she could not sing nor play an instrument, but was very creative. AI gave her a creative vehicle. Will a day come when the Academy recognizes and lauds the people talent that oversees AI developed music? I for one think it’s in our music future. Much like film ultimately came to partner with stage.

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. 

 

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. 

A.I. is a marvellous tool...Once this common place true fact  is said :

It is evident  our social fabric is not ready for it   and we do not understand its impact...

 

I’m sure there will be some real junk, maybe for the elevators. 

i concur with you completely ...

The artist creating elevator music will now be in the obligation to quit the art or his craft  or dying of hunger...

 Those who are all in A.I. marketing enthusiasm  forget about the jobs which are also meaningful work for us human and a means to eat but a way   also to keep our freedom while working ...

 A guaranteed universal basic income is the certainty of slavery...And the lost of social and citizen meanings ... Assisted useless eaters...

Oligarchs are not afraid of that, i am not an oligarch ...
