The widespread acceptance of autotune was the first step towards the inevitable AI music takeover.
autotune is just an instrument
>>127832135so is AI
>>127832053Actually the first step towards AI was the rise of big databases like RYM where people obsessively attach genre and even mood tags to music. That and Pandora's "music genome" project. This sort of stuff has completely shaped the way people talk about music online and even the way people think about music, and is essential data for turning text prompts into sound. If you look at prompts that people are feeding into Suno etc it's like reading a list of genres and descriptors on RYM with a couple notes on song structure thrown in
>>127832135No, it isn't. >>127832363A coherent argument. Added to the litany of reasons I fucking hate RYM and the users who never stfu about it. They talk more about that site than any actual music.
it was synthesizers
>>127833672actually it was the first time someone plugged a microphone
>>127833810actually it was video that killed the radio star
>>127832053>inevitable AI music takeover.AI will replace the Top 40 slopmakers (and good riddance) but it will never be capable of reproducing the spontaneous, irrational choices that make great works of art great. Music as a human artform will persist.
autotune is a predictable instrument you can manipulate with 100% precision. AI is literally based on randomness
>>127834711Not the point. The widespread acceptance of autotune is plainly not caring if a musician had any actual talent. The beginning of accepting a robot voice instead of an identifiable person. The beginning of accepting undeniably soulless sounds. That's the slippery slope to AI music being rampant, and people not giving a shit about it. Tell anyone that's not a boomer that autotune sucks, or autotune musicians are trash, and they'll say you're out of touch. That's gonna be the same case with fake ass AI music.
TRUTH SNUKE
