Music is self-expression. I don’t always identify entirely with others. I always identify with my self. Having music generated for you on such a personalized level is an attractive prospect.
I don’t think this replaces “100% organic, human-made” music, though. I think there’ll always be a reason to listen to music made by other people. But I think this changes the landscape of how and why people create music to begin with. It certainly will devalue existing music, since everyone has something they may prefer that they can generate instantly.
I think generative AI is a terrible technology for artists who want to make money from their art, but in my personal opinion, I strive for a world where art isn’t a transaction, but a gift of human expression and connection. A world where art is appreciated for the emotion, stories, and ideas it conveys rather than the monetary value it holds. Generative AI might disrupt the traditional economic models in the art world, but it also opens up new opportunities for creative exploration and personal expression. It’s a challenging evolution, but one that could potentially democratize art, making it more accessible and personal than ever before! Bring on the Renaissance: Part 2!

A world where art is appreciated for the emotion, stories, and ideas it conveys rather than the monetary value it holds. In a world where nobody is compensated for their art, the only people making art will be the ones privileged enough to have the means to do so for free. I don't see how this leads to "Renaissance: Part 2."
- notmypenguin 3y agoI don’t agree with your definition of music. For me, as both a musician and a listener, music is communication between human beings via harmonic carrier waves. Using a machine to make word salad copies of existing communiques is literally just nonsense to me
- ckornby 3y agoit can't be a "gift of human expression and connection" if A) a machine creates it and B) nobody but you ever hears it this isn't democratizing art, and i would argue it has nothing to do with art. it is giving us an endless faucet of content, but not art.
- pessimizer 3y agoWhat's self-expressive about an algorithm that generates songs? Recorded music is the worst thing that happened to music.
