Is there people who really enjoy music generated by AI ?
I guess there always is an audience for poorly made things or poor quality things like industrial food with low quality ingredients.
Or maybe it’ll become so good it replaces artists altogether but what’s the point of it all ?
In a way, future generations might only know this new world where music is generated by machines and won’t be shocked ?
My take is that, music is so deeply rooted within us that even if AI can generate it, it’ll never replace the human experience and it might even push music made by humans to be a luxury and be more expensive. In a way it’s a good thing for artists if money goes in their pockets, on the other hand it might severed a part of the population who will not have access to culture anymore.
Or there might be more piracy but it might kill the artist way of living and their music in the process.
I though about more concerts and all, but as of today, I find it difficult and expensive to assist concerts from where I live. I requires many hours of travel, even taking hotels which makes the experience out of reach if required a few times a month.
My brother in law is a musician but he’s never been able to make a living out of it. They performed in places but in order to live and support his family he need a job which made it harder to live of his craft.
I’m curious to see which positive change this will bring
Personally, I enjoy the fact that it's generating songs about topics I'd find it funny to have a song about. My dog playing with their friends, a song about a funny situation that happened. So it's mostly the part about hearing something that's personal to me being put into a song. I'll listen to it a few times, send it around and be done with it. It'll never go into my daily-listening queue, will not replace the emotional connection I have with songs that helped me through bad times. It's just a fun tool to make something "personal" that I'd never ever would hire an artist for anyways.
Udio as a platform gives off this creepy dystopian vibe and I’m really not a fan. All the music is super uncanny valley - no idea who is actually listening to it.
That said, I think there’s a great use for AI generated music in background noise. I’ve been playing with Facebook’s MusicGen and it’s really fun. I’m working on making a personal 24/7 radio station based on whatever prompt I want. It’s a far shot from actual human-created music from a melodic standpoint, but if I just want an infinite stream of noise while I work or read, I think it’ll be good enough.
I'm legitimately surprised that there seems to be no pornographic equivalent to this yet (or, at least, not one I've heard about in passing). Porn-on-demand seems like it's always a prime target for AI tech, maybe because the demand is automatically there, maybe because it doesn't really matter if it's poorly made as long as the gist is there. Maybe audio porn is just too niche?
