I notice a lot of "fake” musicians shows in listing of songs and albums in recommended and similar music. I am listening blues mostly and I receive some strange non existing singer and groups in these category like Enlly Blue, Whiskey Blues, Nina Blaze, Jerry,s Sound Room, Sienna Rose …and much mo…

[image] jb76: The reason why it “proliferates” is that streaming services are allowing AI-generated music to dilute the quality of their catalog for financial gain because subscribers stream it on their listening devices, unbeknownst to them I think there is a bit more to it than that. The qu…

[image] jb76: I am worried that music quality will be determined by who can provide the most creative “prompt” or “conversational query” to AI platforms like Suno, rather than by human talent. What incentives will humans have to spend years to acquire a musical talent and a year or more to prod…

Making music with electronic tools is still making music. That is, designing, making/performing, arranging, recording and presenting organised sound. Giving a prompt to AI is not making music and the sooner that idea is thrown out the more chance anyone has of saving the artform.

Yes, but, very much the same argument was made previously, “programming a synth is not making music”. It’s also not necessarily one or the other - one can use AI as part of the process.

It’s not the same argument though. Using AI as part of process (just as you might use a drum machine) is not what we are talking about. That’s the same technology use and is of course happening. The problem is AI music without human intervention (and flooding services with it, impersonating artist…

Those artist and exploitation entities, from the opposite sides that you describe, will never come close to meeting.

Maybe not, but this doesn’t mean they’ll be easy to distinguish

Some interesting insight here about the use of AI by real professional musicians. It’s of course a moving target but it looks as if its already moved beyond traditional studio use cases and workflow productivity: [image] How Artists Are Using AI to Make Music: Findings from Analyzing Hundr…
