AI Experiment

LOL! AI music algorithms have turned some lives into "participation trophy and award events" for those who can't write or perform songs. I saw a hilarious cartoon the other day. A kid holding his phone pressed a button. An AI algorithm wrote, sang, and produced a song for him. He smiled and said, "Listen, mom! I wrote, sang, and produced this song!" LOL!

In the near future, Grammy acceptance speeches will include: "Thank you for this award! It took us several tries to press the right AI buttons on our phones, but the results were worth it." LOL!

I think in the not too distant future, real songwriters who write our own songs will need to post videos of ourselves performing our own songs on acoustic guitar or piano and singing just to prove our songs are authentic and written by a human being. I actually like that idea. Yet, deep fakes may eventually call even that into question. One will need to stand directly in front of someone playing and singing live to be fairly sure it's real and not AI. Plus, there could be another issue where AI completely writes a song, and an artist who *can* actually write, sing, and play claims he wrote the song, then takes credit for it, records it, and performs it under that fake claim.

At least as far as I know, no one on this forum has tried to fool anyone into thinking they wrote a song that AI wrote. I think posters to this forum who use AI to write their songs have acknowledged as much. But why use AI for writing songs? There are plenty of real musicians and vocalists seeking real lyricists and vice versa. SMH...

I'm sure the lawsuits are flying in cases of plagiarism (theft) of music that can be proven in court. I believe the companies that make movies, commercials, shows, and other content that's sold, broadcast, and/or streamed online are using (and will use) AI-generated music and songs in order to avoid paying fees, commissions, and royalties to human artists for songs they wrote. It's the grim reality of the world we live in now. I think it will ultimately drive up the value and appreciation of authentic, real, human-written music and songs. It's difficult to imagine how someone can present an AI-written song and expect people to take it seriously. Let's hope it's a novelty that wears off and goes away like a fad, but, unfortunately I think it's here to stay. I think the best course of action for now is to identify songs written by AI, and place those songs in a category/genre of their own.

Ai dogs, virtual flights? I'd be nervous about marrying the Daisy Duke 783. It might bite off more than I want it to chew!!

Well you can't really write a song unless you've lost 4 wifes and a few houses, I don't think Robots can't duplicate that. If suicide is not part of your journey , Well the robots won't help you, All that loss and all that jazz , in every book of stars . After all that , I guarantee you'll turn into Bill Burr . You guys won't listen to me , You'll sell out to robots ,

Good points, Elvis. For me, the pleasure is in composing songs starting with the music and then the lyrics, and then recording the song that I created. I write songs to please myself, and hopefully others like some of my compositions too.

I think most songwriters before AI emerged felt the same. My girl laughed and said maybe we'll reach a point where AI writes and performs all of the songs, and posts to an AI songwriting forum filled with AI bots that review the songs, and then we can have a personal AI assistant read and summarize the reviews for us while we enjoy tea or a mixed drink. Where does the lunacy end? LOL!

Before then, I think many future singers will commission an AI service to create a few hundred artificial songs, and they'll select the best ones, put their own spin on it, and release it as "their" new album/CD. They may be doing that already. Sad times, but also amusing at the same time. LOL!

Good deal. There are a lot of interesting opinions in the forum regarding AI. I think it will come about regardless of the views people express, so comments about it are probably immaterial. 😄

I'm working on my next track -- "She Walks In Beauty in the Night". I love songwriting. 😀😎

I could take that arrangement, use session players to cut it

British Invasion in Nashville

I think AI is only in baby stages , I can't see into the future , Who knows where this is going

Exactly, A bunch of old farts.. "what are these kids listening to these days, kind of sucks", which is exactly what our parents were saying back in the day about our new music. ( OLD FART Disease ) , its not fatal , But burn your Tshirt . Grandpa knows better . I guess working with AI is better thinking that Pablo Escobar was some kinda hero to Columbia. Why I'm am I watching this movie ?

my little bit on this.

Ai has no copyright problems, it's simply labels worried they will no longer control artists and they are worried about all the money they will no longer earn.

labels have been controlling music for years, everyone knows it, Ai gives ppl a chance to create demos for free, once it gets better it will be the way ppl make demos, you can even sing into it and it will make the music to fit it, you can play music into it and it will help make a full track.

why wouldn't ppl use it, i went to a studio for music to lyrics i'd written and it was £290, that's before mixing and mastering its simply not affordable for most anymore.

Ai is not breaking any laws as even if they made it listened to every song written its only doing what we do when we listen, ask any band and they have influences that shape their music, Ai is the same.

The labels will lose or settle in the courts its all about them controlling the output so they can charge for it.
