Call it the AImmy
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.

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 ...

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 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 ... |
People have been generating computer created "music" for many decades. An acquaintance of mine chooses a "sample", sometimes no longer than four notes. He then concocts 3-6 minutes of sound. I haven't argued with him about this, there's no point. He has no music skills; just his temperament and a lot of software. One can tell by my attitude that I find his creations absurd. I'm the same way about AI generated music. I share @mahgister's viewpoint. Artificially created sound is not music for me since it was not performed by a human being using a musical instrument. Digital files are fine as long as the music in the files is as I described above. Obviously, mine is a very narrow interpretation. But it is a valid one. Oh, I have no music skills either. |
