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?

@hilde45 ”Here's what I would be on board with: AI arranging proteins to simulate pork, beef, etc. so we can stop causing so much suffering.”

amen to that. Especially the suffering part.

I did not see the sixty minutes piece, but this thread has been really fun to read!

And all you aspiring songwriters keep up the good work!

I am a retired professional illustrator. I've painted hundreds of jobs for Disney, Mattel, Dreamworks, Marvel, Universal, etc.

Just a few months ago I was shown images created by an AI program called Stable Diffusion. Some of the images are fantastic, and all created using written negative and positive prompts. Looks like I got out just in time.

Do you realize that we're now all on 'THE LIST', because Big Brother AI has read all these posts...

Thanks for the 'Beatles' songs. So unexpected and welcome.

 

 

Here is a blues song ChatGPT just did for me (invested time ten seconds):

(Verse 1)
Well, my baby walked out that door,
Left me stranded, ain’t here no more.
Said she found another man to please,
Now I’m drowning in these lonely seas.

(Chorus)
Oh, my lover done left me, oh, how it hurts,
Tore my heart apart, ground it into dirt.
I’m singing the blues, feeling so blue,
Since my baby said we’re through.

(Verse 2)
I remember the nights, oh, so sweet,
Her touch, her voice, making me complete.
But now she’s gone, ain’t by my side,
I’m left with nothing but tears to hide.

(Chorus)
Oh, my lover done left me, oh, how it hurts,
Tore my heart apart, ground it into dirt.
I’m singing the blues, feeling so blue,
Since my baby said we’re through.

(Bridge)
I tried to hold on, begged her to stay,
But she had her mind made up, she walked away.
Now I’m sitting here, with a whiskey in hand,
Trying to drown the pain, just as fast as I can.

(Verse 3)
The nights are long, and the days are cold,
Without her love, I’m growing old.
But I’ll keep singing, these blues of mine,
Hoping someday, she’ll change her mind.

(Chorus)
Oh, my lover done left me, oh, how it hurts,
Tore my heart apart, ground it into dirt.
I’m singing the blues, feeling so blue,
Since my baby said we’re through.

(Outro)
So, I’ll keep on playing, these sorrowful tunes,
Hoping they’ll reach her, under the moon.
Maybe someday, she’ll come back to me,
And this blues song will set me free.
