How AI is changing the music world
AI can create playlists, compose songs, and generate voices. Not everyone is happy about this. Musicians fear that their ideas and …

The main issue is that it'll hurt musician's pockets as the only way to make money with music will be to just release it and will require you to be a 1 in 10000 type of musician who can somehow beat what Ai can generate. At least until the ai is trained on your music and can replicate it no problem.
No more making some $$$ from music libraries and making sample packs and samplers and teaching music making, and a million other ways to monetize your music skills. A computer will take over 90% of that. Humans will become a novelty in those areas. I am talking about 10-20 years down the road.
A handful of companies who own the Ai will be the ones who end up profiting off of music the most in the future.
It's going to cause more grief than it enhances things. Offloading creativity to Ai can only do that. It's already hard enough to make $$$ with music, now it'll be relegated only to a handful of companies who own the damn Ai everyone will be using ( monopolizing music). And it'll become normalized and people will become surprised humans had options when it came to monetizing their music skills.
Then we will see company owned "Ai performers" that people will follow over actual musicians.
The only positive is that you can use said companies Ai to make music faster that you can get to pretend you made somehow when all you did is prompt engineer with your prompt engineering degree.
Future is bleak when it involves offloading nearly all creativitty and money making potential to Ai owned by a handful of companies and ultimately a handful of people.
AI is creating better music than Eurovision.
I am definitely the future! Spotify Verified AI Singer Songwriter here and I have already reached the Top 20K Artist world wide!
The thing is.. voices are not unique. There are lots of people out there, who sound the same.
I don't think style, sound, or voice, should be copyrightable, or something to sue over. AI can produce all ranges of voice, likely eventually with "dials or sliders" to adjust the specific tone one wants. The newer, fully multimodal AI models, can generate any voice, or even sound, right out of their imagination. I just heard an AI hum a tune.
People like live performances, and stuff they know came from the real deal. Stop worrying.
I think the answer to whether or not this is "killing music" is no. Is it the future of music? That's both yes and no. It will definitely be a common way for people to make music in the future. But musicians and musical instruments aren't going away. Only those who believe the hype about how it's going to take jobs away are scared. They'll eventually see it's not going to hurt musicians because music is music. In a few years, people aren't going to care how it was made. It's a question of whether or not it's good. I've been playing instruments since I was seven and I earn money composing for media projects as a sideline. I really like these generators and will start using them for client work in the near future. But I'm not going to stop composing with instruments. I can do both.
german pop has often an ai music vibe so it will be replace music producers in germany pretty fast. Lol. Just kidding
Musicians listen to other musicians and get inspiration from them–do they have to pay everyone they listen to? Some claimed plagiarism can be shown to have appeared in music older than that of those claiming plagiarism: the William Tell Overture uses the "and a one and a two and a three and a four" rhythm that appears in both Nazareth's "This Flight Tonight" cover and Heart's "Barracuda". "My Funny Valentine" predates both Spirit's "Taurus" and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven". Did anyone really believe "Blurred Lines" was plagiarized from Marvin Gaye's music? We're headed towards the scenario in Spider Robinson's 1983 short "Melancholy Elephants", in which it's impossible to write a song that can't be argued to be plagiarized.
Just stop it…no it’s not.
It’s gonna be a big part of future music, but it’s not the future of music.
I find the lack of human creativity in newer songs and art depressing. If we don’t create and dream what separates us from primates?
Sad
