I’m not so interested in discussing the meaning of “intelligence,” or whether AI is such as I am interested in discussing the implications of an already-difficult occupation, artist (in this case musical artist), now entailing a threat from computers. Really, really smart ones.
Further, I have no interest in what a computer makes.
Can’t relate to it.
I ain’t a computer. If I was, I might be interested to hear what my AI brethren created.
I’m a human. When I experience art, the humanity is absolutely 100% the reason I’m interested in it. Because I’m human. This is a form of communication; art.
The creation of a bunch of algorithmic gobbledyguk?
A curiosity.
Not art.
Unfortunately it will sold as such, whether the consumer knows it was excreted from a network of robot gobbledyguk or not.
A.I. music
Possibly of interest: "the current rush to advance generative AI technology could be "spiritually, politically, and economically" corrosive. By effectively removing people, like musicians, from algorithms and tech that create new content, elements of society that were once connections between people are turned into "objects" that become less interesting and meaningful, Lanier explained.
"As soon as you have the algorithms taking music from musicians, mashing it up into new music, and then not paying the musicians, gradually you start to undermine the economy because what happens to musicians now happens to everybody later," Lanier said.
He noted that, while this year has been the "year of AI," next year the world is going to be "flooded, flooded with AI-generated music."
