      Country music lovers should feel stupid by letting this become a hit. I mean is AI going play the Grand Ole Opry?

        is AI going play the Grand Ole Opry?

        Virtual bands playing human-composed and -recorded music predate present music from generative AI, and they’ve done performances.

        I imagine at some point, probably someone will pair virtual bands with AI-generated music, and do performances of it, if they haven’t already.

          But like…that requires work. The whole point of an AI band is to not do any work.

          This is a spray and pray approach. Generate 200 songs. Hope one gets popular, make money off that from Spotify. Move on. Switch genres.

        I’m pretty sure the lofi music streams on YouTube are majority ai-generated. But I just put it on for background music, I don’t actually listen to it.

          I feel like “ai generated” music when it’s not lyrical isn’t such an awful thing - ambient sound and the like. I mean, music may not be mathematically solved yet, but we’ve certainly had music-generation algorithms for decades, and there’s no real harm in that. There’s a time and a place for a human to create art, and times for artificially created pleasant sound.

            It’s always interesting seeing the line people will draw between what they see as art vs product. I would be disappointed by anyone who tricked me into listening to theft-generated music, whether people consider it legitimate art or not

              art vs product

              product vs process

              How something is made may become the new curiosity, especially when novel approaches and instruments are used.

            I like to split it into the art and the craft. AI can execute the craft of drawing or creating music or lyrics, but only a human can exercise and elevate a medium to something that really speaks to people on anything more than a superficial level.

        This is exactly it.

        The lyrics are basically just the “I’m a piece of shit and won’t change” genre, and apparently that resonates with a lot of people somehow.

        The only time I’ve had an enemy in my life I was 6 years old, I don’t get these songs man.

        side note: I’m heterosexual but I did not know that Bo Burnham is low key fuckable.
