AI and the future of music


Last night’s 60 minutes featured a deep look at Google’s new AI program BARD. Frightening, yet compelling.

It got me thinking, if their AI has already read everything on the internet, and can create verse, stories, etc in seconds…What could it do for music?

‘Hey , BARD create a new Beatles like song from the Rubber Soul era, but have Paul Rodgers and Jack Bruce singing”.

“Hey BARD, create a song that will melt the heart of my new girlfriend”.

 

your ideas?

I really chafe at the false equivalence, the general fallaciousness, and the abject awe-mongering that defines the typical Artificial Intelligence Apologia argument.  
You can always see these arguments coming a mile away.  
There is a clear difference between technological advancements like toasters, microwaves, etc. and the dawn of dominant artificial intelligence in everyday life. 
C’mon, man…  
Seriously.

Re: AI generated music I don't doubt that some of it may be quite catching, but the cult of personality machine that has been a bed partner with popular music and which is an important part of the "business" is going to have to come from somewhere - if not real flesh and blood humans then AI created avatars or human "stand-ins" for the music - sort of like the Monkees were.

We have but one 'god ornament' in our possession; a simple one, the figure surrounded by the elements of It's existence in our midst...

The figure was gifted to my spouse decades ago.

She introduced it to me, and I accepted this small simple concrete icon as being just as iconic as any other....

It's of a cat...the elements being fish, small creatures They like to pursue, and the simple things that amuse Them....

AI.....already in our midst, and the full extent of a growing presence?

 

...considering Pandora, with her hands on the lid of the Box....

Yes/No...."oh..."

Pandora box is really what we are in for...

Thanks asvjerry... Always interesting post...
