I simply cannot understand how you can have this take. This is the same bizarre wishful thinking that infested this forum during the crypto bubble. Just because you have a hip new tech doesn't mean artists will go against their material interests to engage with it and be won over.
What you are describing is a work loop where the artist is being pushed to the outside, and in the medium/long term this will make artist's working lives much more precarious. And just like with NFT scams, most artists saw the impact to their material interests much more clearly than the tech bro set imagined they would. It is a lot more likely that producers will simply cut artists out of the loop and produce mountains of bland but acceptable crap at near 0 cost, instead of keeping an artist on retainer to re-record/edit songs.
- notefaker 3y agoI think the parent comment is referring to pitches sent to successful pop artists who write none of their own lyrics or melodies and take no part in the development of the music beyond recording their vocals. Their personality, looks, and voice are their valuable contribution, not their songwriting/production abilities. They’re always looking for hit songs to jump on and record, not write themselves.
