Yeah I totally agree. People donât realize all that âambient technoâ, âstudy musicâ, âsoft jazz for sleepâ etc. are in danger. You can already buy sample packs and create something similar incredibly fast. Imagine a software digests millions of these songs which are not super different from each other. I can totally see itâs producing a full hour mix with whatâs been trained with.
Similarly i think if an artist produces only one type of genre or very similar music, thatâs in danger too. Because you will just hit the button âcreate a 128BPM track in the style of Xâ and you will probably get a very decent starting point.
This one has been around for years, and can generate continuous streams.

In that Sam Altman interview by Lex Friedman they discuss how humans being interested in what other humans are doing seems inherently built in.
They discuss it as if itâs something that will not ever go away.
I thought that was an interesting observation.

In the Capital City, sons and daughters of the elites will be allowed to practice traditional music under close AI control.
The remaining workers in the districts are strictly forbidden from all forms of art and personal expression. For the good of humanity your brothers and sisters urge you to sow the fields proudly.
Dissent will result in societal termination.

Why should I stop making what I love, something that gives me joy. Even today 99,9% of the other musicians are better than me but I still love making beats. Actually the more I think about it, I come to the conclusion that AI in a lot of regards has the potential to free human creativity from commercial shackles. Maybe art will become something truly personal and more private. Something that takes place in small communities like here or local.
Making music is like writing diary to me. First of all it is for me. It should be important to me. It should be worth to be recorded or performed whatever to me. And if other people can find something of interest in it this is even better

Iâm sure itâll churn out a bunch of crap, and maybe some weird soundscape installation. But thatâs it.

A study by German Gema and French Sacem, both PROs:

Here below some excerpts:
AI is the next investment bubble to bust
We get a multi-billion dollar scam from Silicon Valley at least once a decade (probably more frequently)
AI canât do what they claim and they donât have the resources to sustain it in the meantime (the irony of hearing âwe will replace humansâ by a ruling class built on slave labor escapes no one)
This doesnât mean it wonât wreak havoc. It always does

Stevie wonder is superior to me in music making, but I still get up and do it everyday.

AI has been depressing the hell out of me lately. I think the tech bro narrative of âif you donât let us fuck up the world, some other country will beat us to itâ is part of it.
I just finished reading A Canticle for Leibowitz (an inspiration for the Fallout game). Itâs about mankind repeatedly nuking itself, but this line about a child that knows what a loaded pistol does but has never pulled the trigger before struck a chord.

The direction weâre headed, AI taking over music is the least of our worries. Itâs also not the AI, itâs the âman behind the curtainâ we should be concerned about.
W/ that said, nothing will replace the feeling of making music, strumming a guitar, singing, and playing w/ other humans.

until we figure out how to create consciousness, music generated by AI will be polarizing like it has with visual art. itâll be a couple decades or so
i look forward to submitting to our computer overlords
just kidding, the energy crisis is going to reach critical, there will be a devastating global war, and everythingâs gonna be drastically scaled back under tight laws that will be part of something resembling a religion
hope so anyway

I really, really didnât like A Canticle for Leibowitz, but it has a few masterful passages, and this is one of them.
(The way Miller portrays the passage of time through bird migrations being the othe parts I loved.)

Yeah, I had more or less the same feelings. Not a fun read, but there were a handful of spots that made me ponder things, so Iâm glad I stuck it out. I had tried on a couple of other occasions.

I really want to read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy because I donât think thereâs anything human about the way people make war, it goes on endlessly behind the curtain, a real war, however cruel, ends with a battle like in the animal kingdom, but people have taken it to another level.
Call me negative. But those who are suffering usually didnât A start the war and B are suffering because of it. Just my 2cents.
And Universal is licensing more music than they are publishing, there was a time when they really helped artists to break through, now they just register music because they have found it makes more profit. I think the people who make music independently are still in the majority anyways.
