The video is only available to members on their site, so I no longer have access to it. The video started out with a “sad” story about someone who posted some SUNO crap and got flack for it, and then went on about how people who didn’t embrace new technology would be left behind. Full disclosure… I did not watch the video to the end, I generally try to keep cool and not get too emotional about things, but this had my blood boiling.

Hmmh. I think we’re already past posting some SUNO crap and getting flack. I mean reportedly, there’s already a lot of “AI music” on Spotify. We had the first “AI artists” on some billboards for R&B, country, pop, christian music(?)… And I get “AI music” on YouTube. And I’m fairly sure some small minority of retail stores here have (very nasty) “AI music”. But it’s not like it’s good? To this date it’s some very bland shit you’d play in the elevator or on the loo. I’ve never felt anything when listening to it the same way I feel when listening to some old Pink Floyd album or whatever. And I doubt people will go to a music festival and there’s ChatGPT on stage… I’m fairly sure AI will have a hard time displacing proper art. I mean sure, pop music, the billionths love song text, samples, it’ll creep in to music. But we already have drum computers, electronic music. And to be fair, bands like The Prodigy never needed any drummer. But I really think from a perspective of someone who listens to music intentionally, there’s no chance AI will take over the entire thing. It’s just neither good, nor can it play concerts, nor does the music mean anything. And from the hobby musician’s perspective, I’d say music is entirely for humans. It’s your personal enjoyment to play folk songs on the accordion, pop covers on the acoustic guitar at the fireplace or bring your fiddle and flute to the session at the irish pub. Or meet with your band mates in the practice room every week to play some punk rock and drink a lot of beer. AI can’t ever take that away.
