AI and the future of music

@ltmandella

 

+1, good one, and on the other hand (from ChatGPT):

 

AI can potentially harm the music industry in several ways:

1. Copyright infringement: AI algorithms can easily generate music that resembles existing copyrighted material, leading to unauthorized use and potential legal issues.

2. Job displacement: AI-generated music might replace human musicians in certain areas, leading to job losses and unemployment.

3. Lower quality content: If AI-generated music becomes prevalent, there might be a decline in originality and creativity, resulting in a decrease in overall music quality.

4. Impact on streaming platforms: AI-generated music flooding streaming platforms could lead to an overwhelming amount of low-quality content, making it challenging for users to discover new and authentic music.

5. Unequal competition: Smaller artists and musicians might find it difficult to compete with AI-generated music created by well-funded entities, leading to a concentration of power in the industry.

6. Manipulation of tastes: AI algorithms can be used to analyze user preferences and tailor music to maximize commercial success, potentially leading to a homogenization of music styles.

Proper regulations and ethical considerations are essential to mitigate the negative impacts and leverage the positive aspects of AI in the music industry.

Mostly redundant to my previous post.  But that is the risk of AI generated cut-n-paste I guess.

@Itmandella

That list of potential harms describes the harms already perpetrated on us via the invention of fast computing and the internet.

I don't think this has been addressed yet. As a professional artist, the age old question, "Where do you get your ideas from" is always asked of me.

Well, in my case it's a matter of closing off the floodgate of ideas. It's always been constant. I open the 'door' just a crack and let a few in at a time.

There are realms unknown to most people, accessible to all who have the correct 'key'. Inspiration comes from a particular place, accessed through the subconscious. I spent many years with a teacher who was a master at self-hynosis.

I SERIOUSLY DOUBT AI WILL EVER BE ABLE TO ACCESS THAT. At least until it learns to create a soul.

It will be stuck doing derivative works.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great post OP thanks...

 

A work of art is a sacred event...

Sun Ra the jazz pianist so excentric he was expressed it well... He said the same as the Promethean pianist and composer Scriabin by the way...Art must free the soul into the realm of meanings...

A.I. will tempt us to renounce our own genius and creativity rooted in spirit...

Idolatry of A. I. will do way more damage to the soul that computers and TV...Which also had their positive effects by the way...Yes i own a tv and even a computer...I admired Amish but i am not one...😊

A. I. easyness to "create" will flood us with so much products that we will loose our ability to distinguish work of art with garbage,...

It will be "musak" ascensor music BUT elevated to Bach perfection level...Think about that...

I am not a luddite at all, as with Tv and computer postive extraordinary advantages will come...

But A. I.  differ completely from  a hammer or from  a computer; it is  not a mere  tool but a new God....

How many humans will be able to discern the empty "soul" behind the veil and their own emptiness idolizing this "intelligence" over their own  ?

The future is spiritual or it will not be...

Transhumanists are deluded completely because they negate evidence : "nature" is not an old fashioned word with no meanings now... As the "man" and "woman" words ....It is up to our freedom to reclaim nature and the meanings of sexuality...

 

All this begin in 1833 at a reunion of the British society for the advancement of science, when Charles Babbage the creator of the first computer decided with  Charles Wewhell the geologist and others to replace the old fashion word "philosopher of nature" by the new word "scientist"... Replacing  then the free spirit individual searching for knowledge and truth by a specialized paid workers compelled to serve  for the British corporations dominating the world... Think about the doctors slave  status now as demonstrated in the last three years ?

Goethe predicted it two years before in 1831 with the publication of his masterpiece , describing all this HUBRIS and demonic totalitarism of the paper money and the greed behind all that in ONE play...

We live today the concluding phase...the Frankeinstein phase described long ago by a woman with great intuition...

Art is not only mere leisure, art is rooted intuition, inspiration and imagination..Each artist is way more than a "scientist" he is a seer and sometimes as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michael-Angelo, Archimedes , Goethe , and many others a philosopher of Nature too...
