its fucking over for the art form of music.

so, it's garbage? i have yet to read an AI-generated short story or poem that was actually good. "indistinguishable from human-written" is meaningless in this context because most humans are also bad writers/musicians.

I'm well aware that AI will automate almost all white collar and professional workers. That does not mean the art it's currently producing is good. Passable as being written by a human? Sure. But that's not the same thing as good and it's misleading to claim otherwise.
>>
You WILL listen to the AI music

>>128214998
Given cRap/pop are the dominant genre, and most people too braindead to see trash like kendrick as anything other than the second coming of Jesus, I say more power to AI, once 100 different flavored tpabs are churned out daily, people won't dick ride that scum, or rap in general, anymore. As far as I'm concerned, music is already dead, nothing innovative anymore left. Maybe AI will one day take the lead in developing new art forms we didn't even think of yet.

AI media is for memes, porn, and stock images/sounds. The circlejerking hAIpebeasts who think that the average talking meatsuit's indifference to their air-filler music being generated or not is a sign of an AI art future are hyperextrapolating, at best.
>>
>>128214998
if you enjoy making music and don't necessarily care about gaining an audience, how well AI music imitates man-made music doesn't matter. even if you have aspirations for gaining an audience and/or commercial success, there will still be people who mainly/exclusively seek out man-made music. I really don't get the hysterics.
>>
Can't wait for the AI audience doing AI critique on AI music
>>
AI music will be immensely cheap to produce. The music industry will move away from actual musicians and hire sexy models who make noise on social media to mime to AI music.

It will start with big name artists using AI to write or tweak songs to make them more appealing to the masses.

Human art and creativity is over.

What kind if deranged logic even is this?
Even if AI Art truly did become par with human art in terms of quality, at best you'd then have to hold AI to identical standards to people, not higher standards, that doesn't make any sense. By this logic nobody on Earth should be making art because Michelangelo or Beethoven existed. What a lousy attempt at ragebait. Shame on you OP

so what you're saying is that art is ultimately subjective to individual standards which make the entire argument regarding ai vs human art entirely moot?
>>
>>128217335
I'm saying that the primary (or at least a major) motivator in making art is, in my opinion, a lack of satisfaction with the present material. You can have a metric against which you can judge the level of craft an artwork is executed with, but this only a one side of the whole story. Many fall into the trap of disregarding one for the sake of the other, and it's also fine to forgive certain shortcomings in a work if some of its qualities strongly appeal to your biases

How many artists have already been using AI at least to get ideas without acknowledging it or us noticing?
>>
>>128214998
I still can't understand after 3 years people still don't realize how soulless AI art is. It's not fully encompassing yet but once it is, does the thought of almost all the art you see, hear and watch not made by a human just feel soulless or at least a bit weird?

Really good counter ironic analogy. AI music is going to be like the pet rock in 10 years, no one will give a shit. It will be in commercials, tv and film soundtracks, and airport music but no one will care about it in a deep way or interact with it or go out of their way to pay for AI music. People care about other people and their personalities and life experiences.

The fact that it's been really believable for probably 6 months or more and every time a label has been like "Hey kids check out our new AI popstar!" everyone clowns on it and ignores it, is enough evidence to me that it simply will not catch on. Now AI in general will most certainly be a mainstay in our societies but with "algorithms" being a thing for years now it's not a huge shift in my opinion, certainly not for art. Jobs have been getting more and more automated over time and I think that's a good thing because eventually the most dangerous jobs will be done by machines and it will save lives. But art? Not happening. Electronic artists didn't kill live music acts, hell digital can't even figure out how to kill vinyl for Christ's sake.
>>128227744
If you think commercials, tv and film soundtracks, and airport music accounts for 99% of music you are a hyperbolic idiot. I think AI will take up a good chunk but so what, that's not going to kill real human made music, just like the printing press didn't kill calligraphy. People will have the option to listen to their own library of AI generated music suited to their tastes but unless they want to watch a hologram perform AI music "live" they're going to have to pay to see a real life artist for in person experiences.

ai doesn't think. It analyses data and learns to rearrange the data it's trained on according to the prompts it is given ie. it's just repackaging music that already exists. Humans can be poor writers too but the process of conceptualization in radically different.

Those aren’t melodies, that’s a chord progression and a time signature. If I played the 5th scale degree in eighth notes over the I and V and then played the 6th scale degree in eighth notes over the VI and IV, we’d have ourselves a pretty terrible melody. Music isn’t just math - there are elements of music that include math, but to say it’s just math is wrong.
>>
Record labels hope it catches on because then they don't have to pay residuals to anyone. And maybe they'll be lucky enough that people will listen to AI music to the exclusion of the music made by the artists whose catalogs they exploited in order to train their AI, so they won't have to pay residuals to those artists any more either

Yes, strictly speaking, roman numerals describe harmony, not melody, but simple pop melodies only use notes from its home key, no accidentals, no modulation, not even any 7th chords. AI is already more than crafting simple melodies that are bland, yes, but they are pleasing to the ears of normies, and that's not even a new thing really. Take a few horrible hits from the 80s and 90s like Groovy Kind Of Love or Breakfast At Tiffany's. Extremely simple melodies that require zero creativity to compose. We are way past the point where AI can create music like that on an assembly line.Sure, it's bad, but plenty of songs like that are monster hits despite being ungodly bland, and that's the point here. AI music is not good, but it will sell and it will replace the jobs of working musicians.

How do you not understand that it's the same people who do "industry gigs" and actually do "le real arte" music in their spare time and have already been struggling as it is?

I always wonder, when AI truly creates the the dead internet, will the pre-internet information and entertainment sources return to prominence? I don't mean TV unless there'd be a government program to illegalize usage of AI on television programs. I mean as in: Will we go back to a theater to watch people perform music, plays, variety acts, etc?

I regularly go to the theater myself to see performances of classical music, I'd probably just continue doing that regardless, maybe more. You can't really AI generate an acoustic performance of an established work that you are seeing in person. But would this branch out to other arts as well? Would screenwriters start writing plays more instead of films? Would pop music return to being in stage musicals?
