AI-generated music sparks industry concern
Video Overview & Insights
Music generated by artificial intelligence, which can take only two minutes to produce, has sparked ethical concerns in the industry.
She sounds like everyone and everything else. I wish I could say this is a major change, but when you look at how most popular songs are made, there's a conglomeration of song writers and session musicians behind them. This is simply automating the copy-and-paste that dominates the industry... right... now. You're not going to get a Rush or an Erykah Badu or a Wagakki Band in an AI world, because those are novel, chance happenings. And as novel as its solutions are, they're still just amalgamations of what's out there right now. And that's not true creativity. But then, how many people truly want true creativity these days?

The question is why would an automated songwriter be released to the internet for free. Other than to wreck the music industry?

AI is a music game changer. It's not right or wrong - it is what it is. It's not going to take away human artists. Honestly, if AI can outperform a human artist, then maybe it's needed to keep millions of wanna be artists in check about their talent. I've listened to music since the 60s, learned piano from my youth, witnessed the great ones (Whitney, Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Tupac, est) during their prime and saw how music went from analog to digital over the past 50 years. Usher summed it up best ( like people before him) we're not doing anything new, it's just how we're presenting it that's new. Everybody is musically influenced by songs that came before them. AI just streamlines this process. So what. If I had to learn how to understand how to play all the scales on the piano by starting from C, and AI can do it quicker, faster, and better than me - more power to it. AI is a powerful tool and it can be used by someone who really understands how this tool for music can open up a new world for you and me.

Ok, but this song about Paper. It's... like. really good.
Fold myself into your corner, making myself small enough to fit?
Your the scissors, I'm the paper, you cut me up?
Like woah!
That is incredible.
@raylemus72Suno is winning battle right now. LOL. I actually saw a REAL band redo this and they sounded night and day better. They had way more feel and soul. Even live performers are doing resident gigs, so they are not flying all of the world anymore. A 1 year tour only hits a dozen spots. AI is not on their side if people have to travel to see them play. SMH
@MadskillsuniversityAnother charting AI band! You be the judge. The Collective Good is the band name... "The Potter's Wheel". It's better than Velvet Sundown; Broken Rust tho... IMHO!
@daveyman66we hear “AI music sucks” because it was totally trained on formula nashville music which also sucks. garbage in - garbage out. There is no reason to protect a small group of human songwriters who crank out template songs and lyrics no different than Suno 😂 The truly great human songwriters will rise above
@RedCloudServices1.5 million fooled brainwashed people liking such a stupid sounding music, Empty and soulless lyrics. I only got to 10 seconds and had to turn it off. Made my ears tingle.
@DrMartinnI hate AI music and fake AI videos. The worst of these is, "Bleeding Strings", "RaselHits" and "Everhits MoritaBari". I will always listen to music created by humans, for humans! In fact, music was originally CREATED by humans because of the emotions, be it joy, sadness or fun being conveyed to other humans.
@bornfreev68187:59 Rick's expression of dread and concern says it all.
@clauricauneI write 100 percent of the lyrics to all the songs that I have AI create to hopefully get them recorded by a real artist. I only use AI to create demos for me and would never use AI generated lyrics. If you go this route, just make sure you copyright the lyrics before ever releasing any songs so that you own the rights to it. You can usually tell real lyrics from AI generated lyrics by the way AI songs sound and how the structure seems to be slightly off, but that's to be expected when you can create a song in under 3 minutes. A real song writer would never use certain words repeatedly or add words that don't make the song feel genuine in any way. Also most songwriters tell a story using words and you can feel what is written and not something that seems like it lacks certain elements...
@RealMark1984Yes thx to AI and ppl with true love for specific kind od music we can back to our favourite tiemes like '80, '90 rock pop disco or even older classic.. what who liked/loved... Yes we are back baby! A lot of new music from our favourite time like artist who gone a long time ago now is back with new songs or person who get how it was done back in time start his work and dont look at companies, trends or money!
Guys dig internet to find new songs/gems from your fav music type and save good one before they take it from us... When i look on viev numbers many ppl dont get it yet, that our old good music is back! And you can make your fav music library bigger...
The number one thing AI can NOT do is Live shows tours and performances. THATS the reality that will never change. We’re going to be okay 💯
@bruhthemIf you look at it from a different perspective. There has to be regulations and parameters. Yes, you can have an AI Artist, but the person behind it has to be writing all the lyrics themselves, coming up with the concepts and ideas for projects/albums, coming up with every title to the song. Assisting AI with coming up with the sound and vibe, the human should be picking out all the instruments, structuring the song. So, the human is using AI to help them create the music. Does that make sense??
I’m an underground local artist. And I think I’m a hell of a song writer, and the ability to come up entire album concepts, sounds, vibes, etc. I can write in almost any genre. So, I hope record executives and producers can be like the human behind that AI artist is an incredible storyteller, an get signed to be the person behind the scenes. Work with the producers, and artists and other musicians and help them create and bring thier ideas to life, we’re just using AI as a tool to do that. It speeds up the process for sure.
But some of these people don’t have any talent. Even the ones that just wrote the lyrics and then let AI do the rest. No thank you.
A lot more has to go into it.
Stop hating on AI…
@FydnowNashville is up in arms. I say tough. Like it or not, this is the future. Artists like, use, promote and reap the rewards of AI until it outshines them. This is evolution 101. Adapt or get left behind. It hasn’t changed since the beginning of time, food is just easier to come by and everyone has a big screen.
I’m really shocked that I haven’t seen Trump blamed for this.
WOW!😮
@waynocook53Wax fruit, however sugared, will never nourish like organic fruit. Label such fruit accordingly.
@brightbiteThe Sadie Winters song actually sounds good and I hate it so much. This is so scary. I love music, specifically passion-filled emotional music. Sadie Winters sounds like it is those things, but it is the complete opposite. I will never support the creation of AI-generated music, but now I'm scared that music that I already love is AI-generated and I just have no idea.
@MelotakuThe exanguination of music by draining out the human element.
@timfranczyk3293A person did do that because AI has ingested thousands of songs, singers, and lyrics to create an algorithm. All AI music should be labeled as such. None of those songwriters, singers, or lyricists that were ingested by this non living thing are being compensated for their contributions.
@struffstuffI remember calling it years ago that the more corporate, cookie-cutter music got, the easier it would be to replace eventually. I just didn't expect it to happen this soon.
@Phantom-ph6xgAi is really making waves
@Soundara-mWho cares if it's real or not, it's about the music, that's the botton line. When a song are music resonates with you as a individual, thats all that truly matter.
@williebernardrenderivI've been going down this AI music rabbit hole for the past 3 days now and the stuff I've listened to genuinely is actually really good and it's amazing what genres you can mix together! The problem I have with it is people will not be honest they estimate 25% on Spotify and other music platforms are AI without the people actually admitting that their AI!! you should be made to admit that is AI without taking any credit for you playing an instrument and singing if you haven't. other than that I haven't got a problem with it if you're honest about it and you've made it and you express that you've made it with AI then what's the issue?
@TobyMurray-moorePeople can still create bands and write music. They just have new competition. Musicians already killed off bands themselves. I mean can you name Olivia Rodriguez lead guitarist? Or Taylor Swift? No. There’s no bands. Just studio musicians.
@IrvingHowe85643The only solution is to let people sing to people. That's what AI cannot do.
@ArnfinnSorensenBig Sadie Winters fan here. I went to her grass roots concerts when she was selling demo tapes out of her van
@SuperDerezzedThe song is beautifully done, but it's as dishonest as a human being singing about feelings he doesn't really feel....he's faking it only to make money......of course, we might never know that it's AI...
Stanley Kubricks 2001 space odyssey warned us long ago -- don't create anything smarter than yourself, it will destroy you...
I couldn't care less if it was AI created. Sounds great. Now if I was a musician it would probably bother me.
@ElectronicChessWho cares if it is AI......as long as it sounds good.
@alexskatit4188Musicians have been training their replacement over the last 150+ years.
@JPDeezCheck out the movie Simone with Al Pacino. It came out in 2002.
@essaysdAuthenticity matters to me, and it will always matter to me.
@zamdristIn the 80ies or 90ies when a song or album came out it had to be unique to become successful. This path we already left way before AI was able to create music. So it’s impressive what AI does but also quite easy to analyze very equal sounding and well known music. Creating something new and innovative is maybe the way again instead of trying to make music for Spotify algorithms. If you go for success you will loose long term. Go for art and take your time developing something new and fresh until you really feel there is something in there. AI can not do this. AI does not know when something weird and never heard before feels good to the human body.
@alexsprave2720Ai is finally here... believe it. Love that track
@D_punkster"You can't connect with something that's AI." I guess she didn't just hear the lady saying she would pay to see that artist live if she could. That's a connection.
@JeffMyers409There will still be people that want to be creative and good at it. Not worried about ai. There has already been music that seems contrived and too formulaic for awhile now anyway. Will still be the same scenerio, some you'll like and some not so much.
@71dzdazCan't wait for AI Tour 😂😂😂😂
@ronaldmeyers1745Still got nothing on people who can improvise on the fly
@Jw-un8ohwow didn't know AI could make music so fast 🤯
@VIRENvlogs-q7lkinda spooky how tech is changing music industry
@isaaccenteno7627so does this mean anyone can be a musician now?
@krzysztofgruca1718On the other hand, AI did help me to create 26 chess-related songs complete with lyrics, vocals and instrumental arrangements. My playlist is named "Chess is Life (Every Song Tells A Story) on my channel. Immense fun and lots of hard work tweaking the lyrics.
@Durian_DefenseThis is so saddening
@moo-moonorenz9732crazy... time to say the best, came here from AI-generated music sparks industry concern (Sadie Winters - Walking Away) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIbWNXcYG0k&list=RDkIbWNXcYG0k now people will make their own musice and listen to what they have created, instead of buy music industry machine.
