Right now most platforms only allow posts to be visible if they initially get a vast amount of likes. This only favors artists and personalities that are already very popular or rich enough to run paid promotion.
It also explains why the actual best art and content for discovery has been at all time lows for a long time.
There is so much amazing music out there that will never see the light of day and it's appalling. I've been sharing rare new music finds, but I don't want to pay to promote content I'm already working hard to curate. Sharing indie artists and content from friends and family now is more important than ever. Buying music is more important than ever, we need to realize this because it's the reasons why our favorite artists haven't been releasing anything for years too, the playing field is skewed, and the reward for hard work is nonexistent in music right now...
Even popular and influencer-level artists are being ripped off by bad industry contracts, it threatens the entire future of the music industry, that's why they're pushing to make AI driven music popular... So they can hopefully eliminate needing artists.
The ugly truth is that the best musicians can't be emulated, so all we'll have if they succeed is derivative soulless computer generated music in our future, from computer keyboards... Bot music...
- toofy 4y agowhile i share much of your concerns regarding the obscene way in which corporations and their business destroys the music industry, > they're pushing to make AI driven music popular... So they can hopefully eliminate needing artists. do not mistake that statement with “the place for actual artists will disappear” because frankly, that just isn’t going to happen. ever. If you at all understand art, you’ll understand why this isn’t a concern.
- winternett 4y agoIt's not really a statement based on a serious threat to music talent, it's a statement on the motivational logic that is becoming more dominant within the non-musician controlled parts of the industry... There are several game makers and multimedia producers that are using AI generated music now though, and that is costing musicians opportunities that would make that brand of entertainment and experiences better. Even though human composed music will likely be better, the cost cuts often end up being taken more often over time as independent music and arts become more and more undervalued over time by algorithms.
