How do you know if music is AI.?

[bubinga5]

Hmm. Possibly obvious to some,  but this.? Can someone make this music from AI.

I can’t view FB as not a member, but chap who works at our rehearsal studio played us a song which was excellent, he just said to AI what he wanted and it did it exactly. Worrying imo

I haven't listened (no Facebook, I'm afraid...), but... Does it matter..? There has been computer-generated music for decades, a whole cult of '12-bar' formula hits since before the Blues, and, of course, synthesisers replacing whole orchestras. It's music or not, no..?

The one at our rehearsal was a soft rock song, the guy just said what he wanted, what instruments/tempo/type of singer, and it did it. 
 

Re the clip above, it’s not the type of music I listen to so I couldn’t say whether AI or not, or if it is AI it’s been done well.

People who know how to properly write promts with context etc can make music in minutes... Rick is no ai expert, but does a reasonable job in this tongue-in-cheek vid.

I suspect we're about to be hit by a tidal wave of AI generated music.

 

The idea you can potentially get an AI to write a hit song for you in minutes despite having zero musical ability has all the makings of a classic 'get rich quick' scheme.

 

Of course most of the resulting music won't get any commercial traction at all, but that won't stop large numbers of people churning the stuff out in the hope of getting that one track that hits the jackpot.

I think we are already being flooded with it, my YT is about 90% reggae and I’d say half of that at the moment is AI, some of it is extremely good, it’s even had me looking up the artists which I hadn’t heard of but they don’t exist, they are also using pictures of famous artists to draw you in but it’s not them, I don’t know how they get away with that one

From an original music stand point does it really matter? Streaming has already ended the album/single sales business model.

 

There is money to be made with touring/merch/interactive services like patreon etc that bands are turning to of they want to pursue music as a career.

 

There is however catastrophic consequences for SFX/Foley artists, background music etc. These industries will go the way of graphic design as studios will always value profits over people 

 

Even in my day job working in manufacturing I see more and more ai tools coming in to replace various roles, admin/planning etc

 

It's sad to see but the monkey is out of the bottle now!

I think that the problem is not AI generated music as it can and must be considered music if it really is.

 

The problem is the copyright of that music, because some lazy sods will pretend they own it, but this copyright is the property of AI as it's like ordering a concerto to a composer who will own the copyright of what's been ordered.

 

To date, there's no law about this, but it's about time to legislate for all AI generated art.

This chap shows how he uses AI to his advantage and in fact, how it can be useful.

The video is forty minutes long, and personally I don't like his musical examples, but that's not really the point.

It falls under the same argument as artwork, where it isn’t legally clear whether someone feeding AI your copyrighted work for it to regurgitate into something else is an infringement of copyright or becomes their work.

 

It’s harder still because thats what humans do!
