    Earlier today as I was doom scrolling twitter (or "x" I guess) I came across this AI generated song, and it left me feeling pretty depressed. What does this mean for the future of music?

    It's so weird that we're trying to use AI for things that it kinda doesn't make sense for.

Instead they make robots do terrible music and terrible art and we're still stuck with looking at boring excel sheets. :(

      It's still used in programming and development work in order to try and handle more menial tasks involved in those occupations, such as organising elements of code (not writing, they suck at writing), all without being trained on stolen works, like it was kinda intended...

    • @thahacksaw

      The menial work, oddly enough, is easier than writing a good song. Maybe not physically easier. But your average person will be competent at performing menial work with little to no training. Songwriting, like most forms of art, is unbelievably difficult to do well. And it's nearly impossible to train someone to do it.

This could pass as better than a ton of radio stuff, honestly almost seems done on purpose to make it sound kinda shitty, give these midi files to any kid with a DAW they'll pull out a radio tune in no time.

    The mistake 99% of artists are making with AI is that they think they're safe as long as AI can't make music entirely by itself. The point is that the music market is going to become increasingly saturated as the barrier to entry plummets. And it won't be a few years, it'll be next year.

    A big part of the concern for the Hollywood writers was that re-write pays a lot worse than original content, so studios could go to AI to get a "script" then pay a much lower rate to humans to make it functional. I suppose the same thing could be done in music ... get AI to write something trite and boring but give it to great studio musicians and give them room to build a song and the end result is maybe a much better song but no writing/composing residuals for the studio aces who really wrote the song.

    The lack of structure and planning of the autoregressive models is even more obvious in generated music. The thing is LLM tools like ChatGPT use a lot of supporting and peripheral techniques to make the text generation much better and useful, but these techniques are still being explored in other modalities like audio and video generation. And you are right, they will get much better very soon, probably much less than 2 years. AI generated content perhaps will become a part of music production, but I still think there are a lot of people who truly love music and also love the stories, meanings behind music. I for one love classic rock much more than pop stuff, I appreciate the music context and sophistication. I'm genZ btw, and there are a lot of people out there like me.

      That was my reaction. The visual part is a bit weird but I've heard a lot, lot worse pop songs. Pop songs are mostly written to a formula and that's perfect for AI.
      It won't be long before the entire Top 50 chart songs will be wholly or partly generated by AI, and I can't say I care. It will still leave a lot of scope for good indie music that won't sell much, which is the stuff I like.

      As far as how AI works, you are totally incorrect. New models learn the structure of music by training (learning) on millions of pieces of music. Not really a lot different in abstract than the way humans learn to play music. These deep learning models have only hit mainstream within the last year or so as the amount of compute power has exploded. However, progress is now extremely rapid and will easily outperform most of what we hear from the music industry today in short order.

    I think the laws surrounding sampling should be enough legal protection for musicians to keep AI users from using their work without permission. We've seen how bad it can get without that protection with visual artists. That said, it's not going to take long for AI music to catch up. I give it a year, maybe 18 months. Any genre based around digital sounds will be easy to recreate. It's the feel and nuance that humans bring to music that the AI music will lack, but unfortunately we've seen that people don't really miss that. Lots of music is quantized and sounds robotic, and most people don't seem to mind. That's the really scary part, not that AI will replace musicians, but that most people wouldn't even notice or care if it happened.

    Rhett, do one of these videos every month with what is actually considered the state of the art for this kind of generated content (if it can be found). I am quite sure it will get a lot better very quickly. As for this, it is probably using terrible general midi for sounds, rather than a state of the art library. Imagine instead of this going through some AI online engine it was an assistant in GarageBand that could create and drag in loops from its library, take lyrics and create a sung melody. I imagine that is what is really coming next - there will be someone in the driver's seat. I already have plug-ins with random patch generation - I just need to say when to stop. In the end, I think there will be great stuff coming from generated art, and it will be made by talented artists - they just won't need music chops, just good ears and taste.
