I’m 45 years old and have been listening to hip hop since I was 13, djing since 16, and writing graffiti for even longer. I’ve never made much money for djing and probably in the red from graff but I continue to do it for the pure love of it. I don’t get out painting as much but I’m still able to drop about 4-5 pieces every summer and love every minute of it. If you have something in your life that you love to do regardless of the money consider yourself lucky and keep doing whatever it may be. That drive and passion is the one thing that AI can’t replicate. Keep it movin. Salute!

Very true and well said but this is about AI potentially replacing talented artists, taking away any potential monetary earnings and devaluing the craft even more than it already is. Lots of people make a living off this. This will change that for a lot of people and more cooperations will own all creative processes, make the money of us while cutting out the nodde man.

It may make live music and musicians more in demand. AI can't make pictures, videos, or anything without it feeling surreal, like a fantasy or daydream. It's so perfect that it breaks the suspension of disbelief after a few moments. Human beings telling human stories is what's always brought people together or sold, and will always bring people together or sell. The cheap backing tracks, illustration videos, and art that doesn't take the foreground belong to AI it seems. But did those things really make us money? I don't recall anyone in any field saying it made more than a meal or two honestly. People will want more or something else for their music, and musicians will be there to provide it. Keep the love.

The only real defense against AI is community. Music and other arts were born in our desires to celebrate, mourn, dance, and be in awe together. To explore what it is to be human WITH other humans. AI is a logical progression for the extraction algorithm that is capitalism, where lonely rich asshats want to find the easiest way to get richer. Your passion and conviction here is inspiring. Do what you love. Yeah, pay the bills however you have to, but above all keep rockin.

@jameswalmsley9038 16 дней назад

As a song writer and audio engineer, 15 years down the road, I can see this tool being incredibly useful to me. I would NEVER use one of these AI generated songs, but I would absolutely use one to bring fresh ideas for sections or structure to genres I’m not familiar with. If you were a sync writer and a company wanted a “funky disco” song, you could get AI to make a disco track and practiced and skilled song writers would just deconstruct the track and use it to influence their original composition. If you make beats, I’m sure you’ve found a sample before that’s completely opened up a new idea to you that you wouldn’t have considered before the sample. this is the same idea, I feel. This is a tool but it’s not a replacement for a good song writer. Pair a good song writer with this tool and art will be made. as always, all music is in the instrument, the musician is just the filter. AI song writing is just another instrument.

@jameswalmsley9038 16 дней назад

I should also add, when you’ve written songs for years, you’re not using melodies or beats from songs you’re influenced by, for me I take broad strokes. Instead of thinking “I need a guitar part, G, C, Am, C like that song” I am thinking “what is it that makes that song feel like this?” The answer is often abstract, like a warm guitar with a frantic beat, or a distorted vocal with an exciting and joyous guitar rhythm. If AI can serve you the feel of a genre, you could figure out exactly what it is that makes that genre that, and start from there. You can do it with famous songs, but you could start from completely untouched territory if it was generated just for you. That excites me

There’s much wisdom in this video. It’s too bad that AI is not used solely on things that can improve people’s lives in immediate and concrete ways, as in medicine or science. It never should have been dropped on culture, where it has been used to trivialize or destroy human creativity. But it’s beside the point that some AI art is “good.” We can’t ever forget that the human imperative is that art is an interaction between the human creator and that creator’s human audience. Remembering this helps me bounce right back in, say, a situation that you illustrate here that I might actually enjoy an AI-generated song. I can say, immediately, that the song is no longer good, and that is because it violates fundamental principles of the artist/audience relationship. I create music and poetry not so much because I want it to be “good,” in which circumstance I might be tempted to adopt a machine to make my decisions. I create in order to, well, create. And this is where AI becomes such a Faustian bargain: It is the antithesis of creativity.

Music made by people will never disapear, just like paint or photography, because people enjoy doing it, not even always for the result, but just the process. And I know I will always make music because I love doing it (even though its my job, I still doing it on the side as a hobby for my own project), but professionally, I'm not sure anymore, all the "make music for money" part will be replaced by those tool (it"s kind of already happening and the quality is not there yet; but it's not going to be worst than what it is today).

The main thing you should be a tad bit concerned about is how AI has the potential to eventually become an experience machine. Everything that separates human mentality from AI can be applied to AI, and they will probably do eventually. If we make new things, those things will shortly no longer be new and special. Eventually AI will be able to generate things much more procedurally, deliberately and methodologically, and eventually it will be able to innovate all by itself, which worries people because of how you know the singularity's there once it can do that, and that signifies some loss of control for all of us even in containment :P

I think this is a great tool for any musician stuck with writer's block. You throw some song ideas in there, maybe give it some genre hints, see what it spits out, and then use that as inspiration for your own song. It doesn't hurt that it can be loads of crazy fun to just mess with, too.

Regarding the class system, I'm a "lower class" artist. I came out of the music industry (as a producer) about 12 years ago but, during COVID, I returned to it, built a home studio I could only dream of (I had more disposable income since getting a "real job"), and started making music for fun and for myself. I've released several tracks and unofficial remixes over the past 4 years, one of which was signed to a great house label and even released on vinyl, and financially I made less than what I spent on getting the tracks mastered. As you say in the video, I'm one of those that makes music because it's something in me, and I enjoy doing it. This AI tool, and what will likely come next, will be something I utilise to create AI generated samples that I can use to split in a stem separation tool and then create the nu disco and disco-sampled house music I make, without worrying about artists suing me. I'm not a musician (although I'm learning) and this will give me sounds and ideas I can play with. Personally, I love it.

tbh the AI songs sounded really low fidelity like RU-vid videos uploaded in 2008 low bitrate type stuff. Not to say it isn’t still nuts that it can create whole songs out of natural language prompts, but I would never put that on even as “background” music. There’s too much other music in the world already available for free on the internet to listen to for me to want to sit down and listen to anything AI generated. Now if we’re talking AI generated crate digging ie, “Jazz song from the 1970s with soulful lyrics” and then chop that up for a royalty free foundation to a hip hop song that you produce the rest of, that could get interesting. Regardless, really cool video. What a weird time to be alive. People have been saying that forever but technology is actually mind blowing rn.

As a creative (I’m a writer and a musician) I think the opportunity for us in the face of AI is to develop our audience and, to take it one step further, a community. The beauty about today is that with the tools available to us, such as Patreon or RU-vid memberships, you truly don’t need millions of people purchasing your album when it drops. Just a few hundred people supporting you with a five or $10 membership every month can help you create a sustainable income based on doing what you love. The truly human skill to get good at now is building an audience.

Same here…my tl started suggesting these AI songs recently …the first time I encountered one, it took me a minute to figure it out…a 70’s soul tune…the lyrics were somewhere between cringe and offensive, which was the first clue and then the “cover art” failed on closer inspection. Afterwards, I started noticing even more of these fakes showing in the suggestions. What concerns me is why…I think we’re starting to get too dismissive of “the algorithm” as being JUST an “echo chamber”…when considering the possibility of something more intentional and manipulative, the combination of “the algorithm” and this particular type of AI is problematic.

You said exactly what I have been thinking. I let my musical skills slack for several years but have been diligently working on them again. AI can regurgitate what we created in the past but it will never make something new. There will be plenty of people that will reject AI art. Those are the people that will be our audience. The mainstream has never cared about artists. We have to create for ourselves and music lovers. Not for people that passively listen to music.

@sovietshooter9947 Месяц назад

As soon as the technology like "Serato Stems" came along a couple years ago, I said that when it comes to hiphop, AI could be extremely useful in bringing back the "old school" sampling style that went away in the late 90s as clearing samples and all that became the norm, and extremely expensive. You somewhat illustrated that in this video - if I can work an AI prompt to give me something that sounds like a classic George Clinton song (for example), I can sample that, and not have to worry about clearing a sample with all the folks involved. I don't have to straight up use what AI generates, I can take what AI generates, and chop it up and bend it to how I see fit. This would be the digital equivalent of what Daft Punk has done, where they have musicians like Nile Rodgers or Chilly Gonzales go in the studio, freestyle on their instrument, and then chopping up what they recorded to make "Get Lucky" or whatever. Now, I can just put in a prompt that gets me that sound, and I can do what I want with it.

@TraxtasyMedia Месяц назад

great that you dig in the topic of AI music generating tools. I recently tested Suno and gave it the prompt to "create" me certain song in a certain genre and it pulled out a song very well leaned towards what I typed into it, so far so good, but when it comes down to mixing, it just gets even worse, due to the fact that it splashes the frequency ranges together and just sounds awkward. So if you seperate the audio tracks to stems there's a big chance that a filter ruins this completely. I had a song commision done by AI and I am tasked to do a well mixdown for this person, so here's my problem: my avaliable tools can't erase the filter used in the vocals to render a clean drum mix. I mean for insparational tasks like having a solid worked out drum sample or bass guitar sample, it works awesome, everything above gets really bad. So my opinion on this: don't prompt an AI to write a hit for you, it won't, because you'll have more work decompiling and analysing this thing deeper, than any rabbit hole, that exists on net.
