Check out my initial music: Thanks for the support The outro music in this video is my track "Fire Away"
What do we do now that AI can make music? What's the point of making music in an AI music market? Well, I think we need to ask ourselves why we make music at all! I've experienced a great deal of frustration and despair at the state of the music market and its reaction to AI music, however today I intend to offer you some nuggets of wish to cling on to, in this apparently hopeless world.
Take a look at these other informative videos about the AI future of music:

Truly creative and personal music will continue to exist. Now, those generic songs that already sound like they were written by AI are gonna just be replaced
Wrong, AI is flooding the music industry, and the music industry bigwigs do not care as long as they make their money.
Now is the time more than before to be uniquely expressive in the art.
People who were getting by using music solely as an economic source with no other motive will sink.
We may adapt by making music into an expression based economy, preserving meaning in a world of mass consumption and overproduction.
Music economics may get geared toward touring and expression simply because those are more tangible, physically.
This may help to push music in a more connection based direction.
Nobody is going to watch AI preform on a stage, or AI express art and emotion when inherently it has none, or none of its own.
People want to feel something, those who express and are purposeful with the music will find themselves in good places, and those who produce solely for monetary purposes may struggle.
The expressive artist sells and monetizes more because people feel them, and resonate.
The same can’t be said for a robot, unless the audience happens to be super shallow, which is possible.
@GroveEndRoad I know its anecdotal and I’m probably in an ever shrinking minority; but I personally only listen to stuff between the late 80s through 2019 or so (not deliberately, just a product of my tastes). To boot, I don’t use streaming of any kind (spotify/yt music).
I know, the clippy bringing up right to repair/self hosting talking points for the billionth time; but there is real potential to mitigate the impact of AI in going this way if there were a real cultural push towards computer literacy, bringing back some decentralization to using them, and recycling old, cheaper hardware running mostly FOSS. I realize that the chances of this are ever lowering, due to the sheer convenience of AI (as the video states), but I am optmistic.
@GroveEndRoadthey’ll flood it with crap. Great music, which AI can’t produce, will always find its audience.
@GroveEndRoadisn’t that basically their point?
seeing david swearing genuinely scares me
😂
Yes, I imagine it’s the first time he has sworn in his life!
when was it I watched the whole vid and didn’t notice
@catzrmazing Title
That scares you? What about all the imports that are taking over your country? That doesn’t scare you?
You make music for YOU and whoever joins allong, its your piece of art that you give meaning. human art will prevail. dont gaf about ai continue to being you
Even without AI 99% of musicians would never have gotten their music heard by anyone anyway so I really don’t see the big deal.
I’m an old fart who mucks around with my guitar and my free DAW and VST’s and keyboard and there is exactly 0% chance that AI is going to cheat me out of my Grammy. 😅
He complains because he’s getting out o a job. There is still “influencing”, I guess
@sensingowls Who’s “he” you’re talking about?
@Sliver.1990 David Bennett
Nice words but we have to eat
Ever since AI music has flooded the internet my engagement as a real musician and composer has completely tanked. But honestly..that’s still not going to stop me from composing and creating…I love it too much to stop.
Any real musician knows what I’m talking about. Creating and playing your own music…nothing really compares to that feeling 😊
Nothing will change in my opinion bro. Mainstream music has always been soulless, it doesn’t matter they use AI to make song right now. Wasn’t that always “labaratory music”? Weren’t those mainstream music composer guys the guys that never believed in the power of the concept, lyrics and composition and always blamed the low quality vst’s as the cause of bad music? The idiots who said ” You don’t cut 0-300 Hz, that is why your song sucks” before will now just say “You use bad AI, get better AI”. Underground composers will only use AI as a tool and will never see it as the heart of song making, just like they never saw vst’s as the heart of song making.
For me it’s the opposite. Using open local models to generate samples and loops has been a massive boon for my creativity.
Yup, Drum kits were supposed to replace every drummer in 1970s, Synths ( flock of Seagulls one finger melody ) were going to replace orchestras. LOL. Cds replace vinyl then digital Napster!! Now I go to WALMART to buy Vinyl!
YES! This summarizes nicely the comment I just posted!
@ghanirvanaedits Russian troll. Typical. There’s soul everywhere if you have one yourself. I can guarantee the music you listen to sounds like c-bat. LOL
To quote Bill O’Reily “Eff it, we’ll do it live!”
We’ll write it, and we’ll do it live! Effing AI SUCKS!
he did not say eff
The problem is people will begin to question if we wrote the song or some AI did it, even if we play it live.
@guprovasi Gotta trust. Forget AI, what if a musician had their music be written by some ghost writer? Isn’t that the same problem? We have to trust people and see how reliable and consistent they are.
Don’t worry, very similar question musicians asked themselves by inventing rhythm machine, before that auto piano. But musicians live better and better and are listened by more and more people. I do some Ai music as late musician. JAMS that last 30min ARE ALSO well playable ‘Whereby the value of THE MUSICIAN, the maestro, will never fade. That’s how I see future. People are scared in general. But don’t worry, good always wins at the end and playing an instrument is good and holy ❤
To document the creative process, I’ll ask Sora to generate some videos of me making music
Exactly. There is no way going around it.
Yep. People passing off AI generated visual art as their own have already figured out how to fake images of their process. There is no conceivable long-term contingency that will reliably help consumers distinguish man-made work from AI-generated (work?). This is the main problem for me, besides you know, the pandemonium that will occur between mass unemployment and the UBI we’ve been all but guaranteed from AI bros – Consumers have a RIGHT to know the genesis of something they enjoy and especially from something they pay to enjoy.
@prisonbread Luddites always think a new tech will destroy all jobs. You’re always wrong.
Sora will then steal your ‘’music’’ your voice and you will never be credited at all. All music is subject to this with no penalty, copyright protection ceases to exist when AI steals your music.
Agree. Videos of people showing their work…. AI: “hold my beer”
To me, this makes going to lives gigs even more important. Whether it’s a great little band in a pub or a large concert, live music is where we keep music authentic and human
Even some of those aging pop stars can still command an arena with songs you’ve heard a million times on recordings.
@johnchastain7890 – Yep – I’m hoping Radiohead tours in the US this year just for that reason. And a big chunk of the experience is something that can’t be AI generated: enjoying the performance with thousands of other fans all at once.
Yes, for several years now my favorite music experience has been small live shows at outdoor venues.
@PaulRWorthington But artificial general intelligence could swamp that experience.
Unfortunately, their songs could have been written by AI. The technology needs to be destroyed and the executives need to be hung for the sport of their own crows or whatever Theodin says to Saruman.
Singing live accompanied by a physical instrument or instruments is now more important than ever; this is happening in chess, which is more popular than ever when played by humans, yet machines havefar surpassed us.
Songs in Locrian mode it is!
Best soundtrack for our times
Bjork is about to blow back up!
Locrian Motion
It would be a hell of a world where we get a new counter cultural music genre like punk or grunge except this time it’s built entirely on it’s use of locrian.
@brendanm6921 why would a genre limit to one mode?
same thing we always do pinky, play acoustic guitar in public
😂
Id like my guitar to not get stolen thanks
@Stopaskingwhyandjustreadit unless you live in london you are safe bruv
@mustafaplayztr7828 or literally any western major metro city
I’m making my own music for my indie game, and the feeling of coming up with a melody, recording my voice, and using a DAW to make a brand new piece of music that’s all my own is an amazing feeling. It may not be the best, it may not even be good, but it’s still mine, and AI will never take that feeling away from me. 🙂
Excellent application for AI music, the soundtrack of a game, it could be even created in the spot
I’m with you! I’m making my own music in a DAW too. NOT “AI”! I write, compose and add vocals.✌🏼
Gianni❤
This will make playing instruments and live music have a massive comeback, give it a few years
I also think so. People will feel the desire for the authentic, for connection with other people.
I hope so… but I remember when live bands were replaced by DJs, and then Jukeboxes.
Perhaps it’s cyclic. Young people might be drawn back to the analogue world, including live music with acoustic and non-electronic instruments. They might even be drawn more to the creative process itself.
The satisfaction of playing an instrument will not be killed off by AI music. But many commercial opportunities will be displaced. Not sure why musicians feel that they are any different than telemarketers or customer service reps or any other people in jobs that AI will soon replace? Just cause you play an instrument it doesn’t mean you’ll escape the great AI job replacement. The whole planet will be impacted… even musicians. Welcome to reality.
@angryrabbitproductions1690 you’re right but OC is also right that live performance will soon be the most economically valuable skill for musicians. Humans will always be willing to pay to see other humans play music. I think we’ll see fewer stars emerge from social media. Artists and bands will have to excel at performing to be heard or make money.
Well, hope dies last. The world will get completely ai and when you look at the younger generation today, well, I repeat hope dies last.
when photography appeared, painting changed from depicting reality into more and more abstract art. a similar thing may happen to music
Brilliant! Thank you 🎶
Yeah… AI won’t be able to do that.
This is why I love progressive and psychedelic music
AI can do that. You just have to prompt it properly
I think its already happened. The best new and interesting music is in jazz and what l can only call neo classical
Ai music’s existence makes me feel better about myself since I may be buns at making stuff, but at least I’m trying and learning. I don’t want to be able to make songs I can truly, TRULY be proud of with shortcuts, I want to make it myself, no matter how long it takes.
Recently, when visiting my parents, a Spotify playlist was playing during dinner. Some soul/blues/jazz. And literally every other song was AI-generated. And only I, as a music nerd, noticed it; everyone else didn’t even pay attention. That’s where these plays come from. Services like Spotify are pushing AI music in place of real music, most likely to pay even less to real artists.
That is why I do not use Spotify. I do not have anything in particular against AI music, but there is already a lot of wonderful human-made music that I want to listen to, and I want to have control of my playlist so I can give my undivided attention to Radiohead an Sibelius:)
Useful of them to alternate songs AI-generated and non-AI-generated, so you know which ones to ignore
They release the AI music themselves so they don’t need to pay anything.
How did you notice it?
@clearlyoverclockingabstract Same! I cancelled my subscription once they started receiving ad revenue from ICE, but this practice of pushing AI is also really offensive so I’m happy to spend my money on Soundcloud Go+
I have some friends in my city’s local music scene and it gives me so much hope how unfettered they are by all this, they still love making music and get gigs and the scene is alive and the heart beats on.
it’s easy to get hopeless when you only see the world through the internet’s eyes because that’s where the problem exists the most, but children are still growing up wanting to be real musicians and forming bands with their friends and being deeply passionate and keeping art alive and I don’t know if that’s the Most important thing but I know it’s damn well up there
additionally, this is just a small thing but hearing all this discussion about the creation of music and what’s important or desirable about authenticity is bringing me personally the closest I’ve ever been to taking the plunge and trying to make music myself, so I can only hope it’s doing the same for a lot of other people too. music is in our hearts! as long as we’re alive, real music will be alive.
Charles and David hitting us with the 1 2 this week
AI would suck at Jazz, though.
Cornell?
@dpandcrspandvn That’s the one
Watching this video, i was just interrupted by a commercial for an AI music production app… insult to injury.
use Brave browser and there wont be ads
Advertising algorithms scan through the title and contents of a video to determine which advertisements to show. The reason you received an AI music ad on this video is because this video is about AI music.
Well guys… time to hit the stage and play the most improbable, chromatic riffs possible, in the weirdest time signatures to make sure ai won’t be replacing us.
So jazz?
@D@DMSProduktions Probably… grindcore
@SadisticImpalement LOL!
Sorry, I can just feed what you wrote as a prompt to an AI.
@skierpageMe too
4:10 youtube interrupts the video and shows me an ad…. it’s from suno 🤦🏻♂️🙈
