The AI Music Revolution Already Happened
Вставка

- Contrary to what some may think, AI has had a prominent place in music for decades. From systems that could crank out random notes, to ones that could write full compositions that you couldn’t tell from a real persons, AI’s involvement in music has forced us to question how exactly music works. The future of AI in music fills us many with cautious optimism as it does existential fear at the thought of our beloved art being taken over by machines. In this video, we look back at the history of AI in music, the current, and the future. There was a lot to cover, and I didn’t want to make this video ridiculously long, so I definitely missed a few important things.

Nothing can replace humanity in music. We don't just enjoy music, we are inspired by it's artists and their life story, struggles, successes, morals, values and their place in a larger society. No damn robot can replace that.
But when the "artist" is also generated by AI with that back story, persona, etc, and are indistinguishable from an actual human then we won't know the difference.
these artists could be created, have a wikipedia page, imdb, etc as if they were a "real" person. They will have interviews, a face to a name, etc. So, how will you know?
And yet most people listen to pop music which is controlled by teams of writers and producers with brand managers to tightly control how the artist acts, what they wear, what they say in public all to deliver a nice artificial package for the average consumer.
The assertion that most people care about the "humanity" of art is a complete myth. No one cares, that's why pop music and marvel films make so much money, there is no "humanity" behind them. They're tightly controlled art production factories just like AI art.
Even if AI gets to the point where it replaces music libraries, I think I'll still opt for using songs from dead games :)
I just got this recommended and I'm surprised you have only 6k subs. Very good video, enjoyed every second of it.
Interesting fact: apparently Bach had the opportunity to play around with the "Arca Musarithmica", a device invented by german polymath Athanasius Kircher. The Arca was able to generate sheet music combining patterns and moods, and was conceived to make a musician out of everyone. Years ago I worked simulating the device and understood why it did not leave trace in music history. The compositions sounded like stock music of it's time. Dull and tasteless.
So history repeats, apparently.
That’s incredibly fascinating, I’ll have to look into it!
Thousands of years ago a steam engine was invented, but it could not produce much torque and was seen as nothing but a toy. I guess history must repeat itself and steam engines will forever be useless and never replace human labour, right?
This was a really stellar video. Nice work
Loved it, awesome take! Though that byte sized bit caught me WAY off guard 😂
Very interesting and well collated video!! Bump.
I was like OH MY GOSH I HAVEN'T WATCHED THAT ONE GUY'S VIDEOS IN MONTHS, then I realized he still hasn't posted.
Please make more videos I miss your content!!!!
Stay tuned! Only just getting started :)
Really great vid my friend
Fantastic, accessibilite synopsis. Your meme game proves this wasn't a 100% AI generated video - at least for now :)
The wonderwall joke at the end lmao
My current job, luckily just temporary, has the awful side effect of me having to listen to one of these awful generic SUPERHITS radio stations. Some of these works run on what feels like a 30 minute rotation, they seem to me like first drafts for a song, deemed good enough, every modern technology slapped on to make it sound current, pluck one of those female aspiring popstars from the waiting line, autotune her into oblivion and you're done. Now people listen to this. The majority of people consumes this. They don't give a fuck if something was made by an AI, hell I don't see any real difference between that crap and AI. They just want their recognizable patterns to replace the void in their heads.
Oh and great video! Can't wait for this to be plagiarized by a better known youtuber. Damn I'm cynical today, where's my coffee...?
I just want Dani California by RHCP by rock artists throughout history
Ai has been involved for a very long time most artists just don't admit they use it that's all it is now that it's becoming public ppl are freaking out but like this video said the revolution already happened. I use magenta myself it's fantastic I use all sorts of AI mixed with my human brain and playing hybrid is the way to use AI
10:57 among us
how did yoy not talk about raymund scott
THANK you, I'm glad someone's pointing this out. It's a long history, an interesting story and you tell it very stylishly.
14:41 That just hatsune miku
I just want a stupid background music without doing work. D:
13:04 Is it because he's light-skin? 🤔🤨
1:55 NOW THAT is an edgy last name.
AI sympathiser.
i wanna meet someone who unironically listens to joe biden ai covers
Nice to meet you
Hey don’t throw shade at DJ Khaled 😢
You’re right, I shouldn’t have referred to him as a musician
I couldn't care less what AI does to the pop music industry, it's already complete trash.
