As an independent musician, I for one welcome our AI overlords. They should not be worried about any technology that needs a human to make it remotely interesting.

They should not be worried if they aren't generic sounding independent musicians already.

Lastly, and a historical case in point, this whole conversation is a repetition of the anti-Sampler movement of the 80s and 90s. Look what that techno-leap brought us.

A new technology brings new sounds, if we all stopped treating a megalithic search engine as a personality, we'll move forwards with a lot less drama.

AI music or AI-produced music sounds a bit boring and too-perfect, like auto-tune on steroids.

Needs significant human involvement to make it interesting.

How long that remains true is another question…

Apples to oranges. samples them selves were just another tool. The music was still handmade.

Sorry I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not.

That's pretty much my point:) A new technology brought new ideas to a cultural discipline, new forms of music, twisting and morphing the old forms, especially in the hands of the naive, yet creative youth. I see the same opportunities here, another new tool for the artistic arsenal.

The sarcasm is irrelevant, my use of that term is more a nod towards this platform and historical replies in past discussions, in regard to similar situations. I'll make an effort to excise any superfluous attempts at humour in future posts!
