AI is going to kill the recording industry soon enough.

AI's going to kill artists. The "recording industry" will persist Example: https://old.reddit.com/r/musicindustry/comments/1ao87z5/spotify_making_their_own_ai_music_under_fake/?rdt=51584 https://old.reddit.com/r/musicindustry/comments/1ao87z5/spot...

  I've noticed a similar trend on YouTube and Bandcamp too. Sadly, I personally know a few people who are engaged in those activities in my business school class. The usage of generative AI has significantly lowered the barrier to entry for the creative industry, leading to an influx of AI generated products that are easily consumable and can be used to generate revenue. Until the platforms begin to regulate AI art, which I don't see why they would, we can expect to see more of them in the near future.

  Man, I wish music recommendation systems were social and crowd-sourced like they used to be before internet streaming. These "intelligent" recommendation and scrobbling systems are tiresome.

  AI is just another tool for creative and skilled people https://youtu.be/W5JlXCo3Rb4 https://youtu.be/W5JlXCo3Rb4

    And that's why it's a hoax. It's a tool with limited use cases just like every other tool, but the industry has treated it like an all-encompassing revolution in the way companies will operate moving forward.

      That doesn't make it a hoax just overhyped.

        It absolutely is a hoax, because a number of companies are doing shady things like: - Selling products based on AI capabilities that do not yet and/or will never exist in the product - Adding "AI" to the name of product lines with very little core functionality based on AI - Rebranding non-generative algorithms as AI (e.g., SQL queries and if statements == AI) - Changing the name and/or domain name of the company to imply AI capability I look at companies with heavy trend-based advertising like C3.ai, who changed their name from a previous trend (C3.IoT), and then IBM that rode marketing waves related to Watson/Watson Health, IBM Blockchain, and now AI, and these are companies who are part of the disingenous "hoax" companies.
