AI songs present as a refined end-product but you don't have to treat them as anything more than killing time or B-grade inspiration for something else. Instrument skills will surely be preserved somewhere due to nostalgia, it's the industry gatekeeping that is coming to an unharmonious end along with all the silly status games if AI songs ever take off.
For instance, why does an indy band need an AI-free backstory but a popstar can outsource all their imagination to the producer who may or may not use autotune or AI riffs?
- shortrounddev2 2y agoBecause the kind of people who listen to indie music are not thr same as those listening to pop music. Indie artists are valued for their originality or authenticity. Pop music is valued for the spectacle it puts on, not just the sound waves that come out of your earphones. Personally I don't see any point in listening to AI generated music. It's not something I'll ever be interested in, certainly not something I'd be willing to spend money on
- unraveller 2y agoI have been moved by the rare piece of AI genre music. Admittedly, most of Gen AI that gets updooted is repulsive though. This emerging field is not for the faint hearted and has terrible curation chops.

- dingnuts 2y agoare you kidding? AI will make live performance more valuable, not less. The human connection is what we want. Citation: the magic feeling my instrument makes when it vibrates in my hands when I play. AI isn't going to take that away you soulless gremlin. CITATION NEEDED, INDEED!
- Larrikin 2y agoAre there any examples of popular artists playing instruments regularly at shows? Not formerly popular artists. Nearly all the concerts I've been to recently were rap artists and DJs . Beyonce doesn't place a huge emphasis on instruments in her show, nor do the KPop artists. Do people go see Taylor Swift for the guitar? Sometimes someone will bring instruments on for a few songs. Original composition still happens with instruments, usually but not always.
