I have a very pragmatic view on music: all I care about is whether it sounds good or not. That’s it. That’s literally it. And from that standpoint the advent of AI music has been a major net positive for me.
You can choose to ignore that and come tell me about the ethics of using AI or how you care about the story behind the song and so on and that’s all fine but just note that you’re no longer addressing what I’m actually saying here.
I’m also not claiming it’s great - only that it’s good. I’ve yet to discover an AI song that I go back to like I do with many human-made songs but if I want to put on a playlist playing in the background then one consisting of entirely AI-made music reliably provides me well above average track after another whereas with organic music I need to sift through a ton of absolute crap to stumble upon the occasional good track that still rarely exceeds what AI is able to output. I can go on YouTube and put on a 2 hour playlist of Jazz House or similar and I don’t get the urge to skip a single track.
Currently I feel like where AI still trips is lyrics - they still are only plausible sounding nonsense once you actually start paying attention to it but especially for instrumental music it has far exceeded the level of a good average human artist.
Few examples of what I’m refering to: with vocals and without.
You don’t like music, you like Muzak, and you have garbage taste.
I like both. You don’t know what all different kinds of music I listen to and you’re being mean.
You also don’t respect music or art. You’re a consumer, no more, no less.
I’m a real person with real feelings who’s done nothing to you to deserve being talked to like this. Absolutely nothing.
People like you are why the internet is such a horrible place to be.
So are people who make real music and art. Your whole take is an active and thorough disrespect, you’re spitting In people’s faces.
You’re mindlessly consuming and advocating for universally detrimental trash, you are a consumer. You are actively harming music, musicians, art, and artists, because you simply don’t care what others think. Why should I give any positive consideration as to what you think?
