Look at music. There was a fleeting moment between the invention of recording and Napster where distributors could rent seek by controlling how recordings are used. The creative music industry has not suffered at all now that copying and sharing is free, and people still make stuff. Why would it be different for "AI" scraping content for training data? Some people may lose out but it won't be creators.
- fullshark 4y agoMusic as a medium seems to be pretty stagnant to me, the major technological innovations re: music have enabled hobbyists to distribute their music across the planet, but by and large the artform itself hasn't seemingly changed much in 20 years even with the invention of all these music creation tools, it's now just a lot easier to make a song sound good.
- wvenable 4y agoI think we have essentially perfected music. We can generate any kind of sound and we can record it and play it back at will. As you said, the tools to do this are now available to everyone. The physics and the psychology of music processing, interpretation, and enjoyment are well known. I think there still is evolution happening in music but there will be no more revolutions.
- always2slow 4y agoPeople in music are doing things that weren't even possible 20 years ago. Just off the top of my head: Live in-game concerts, twitch collaborations, music "meme-ing" with youtube and tiktok. A musician can push a button and broadcast a live performance to the world now, and with a few more button pushes incorporate other artists or their works.
- fullshark 4y agoThose appear to be marketing innovations to me, but I don't understand everything you listed. I claim the music itself as a medium is stagnant. I.e. the art form hasn't really changed.
