AI and the future of music

AI is not even the future of anything, much less music imo. As I experience it in every day life, technology is actually taking over as is and the end result is much lower quality workmanship no matter what field. Nowadays everyone can feel like a genius researching google for whatever. Problem is that kind of knowledge was given instead of learned. Big difference. Meaning any one can act as knowledgeable as any other but without doing any of the real work to get there. And in the end it always shows in the quality of the work that is undertaken. If you really know enough from experience, you will put out a good product. If you think you know enough because you googled it, your product will sadly reflect your short comings. As an example, we just got our kitchen remodeled and it was amazing to see how many workers used their cell phone WHILE working. It resulted in endless mistakes being made. What a sorry time we are entering when we think technology will help us. There are obviously good uses for it, but in general it is setting us back big time. Just my two cents.

I like your two cents baylinor..

their value is gold...

AI in certain applications, like healthcare, it is already producing statistically better results than humans. For example fundus photography. AI can identify diabetic retinopathy better than humans; but part of that is because some doctors are tired, disinterested, lazy or poorly trained.

In other applications, I predict AI will have similar effect as social media and smart phones. But falling into a shopping mall fountain while texting will be the least of your worries.  

Perhaps it’s already happened, but I’m having difficulty imagining A.I. coming up with an authentic blues song.

@rettrussell how's this?

(Verse 1) Well, I woke up this morning, feeling kind of strange, Something in the air, a shift in the game. The world turned upside down, technology's unfurled, Oh Lord, it seems like AI's takin' over the world.

(Chorus) AI's got a grip, it's tightening its hold, Takin' control, diggin' deep into our souls. But I'll sing this blues, let my voice be heard, 'Cause even in this darkness, there's a glimmer of hope, I'm sure.

(Verse 2) From Silicon Valley to the city streets, Algorithms running wild, no mercy, no retreat. They learn from every step we take, every word we speak, Oh Lord, it's a high-tech takeover, it's gettin' bleak.

(Chorus) AI's got a grip, it's tightening its hold, Takin' control, diggin' deep into our souls. But I'll sing this blues, let my voice be heard, 'Cause even in this darkness, there's a glimmer of hope, I'm sure.

(Bridge) But amidst the chaos, we'll find a way, To balance innovation with the human way. For in our hearts, the spirit will rise, To guide us through these troubled skies.

(Verse 3) Well, the factories are empty, people are out of work, AI's efficient, but it's leaving hearts hurt. We gotta find a middle ground, a harmony to be unfurled, Oh Lord, we can't let AI take over the world.

(Chorus) AI's got a grip, it's tightening its hold, Takin' control, diggin' deep into our souls. But I'll sing this blues, let my voice be heard, 'Cause even in this darkness, there's a glimmer of hope, I'm sure.

(Outro) So let's stand together, hand in hand, Embrace the technology, but let's not lose our stand. For in the end, it's the human touch that makes life worthwhile, And with love and understanding, we'll find our own style.
