Do you like these three songs?

Piano Reflections of Chopin

When Skies Have cleared

Unrequited Love

Give them a listen... I think you'll like them.

============

ALL of those songs were generated in a matter of seconds by Artificial Intelligence. Seconds. Fifteen Seconds. ....No human being sang, played drums, played synthesizer or guitar or even sat at a digital audio workstation to create those songs.

I notice that the service is incapable of imitating a classcial song, yet. When I requested "classical piano, Chopin" I got the first song you just listened to.

Understand that the person who gets the most streams on Spotify is NOT Drake or Taylor Swift. Nope. It's some german guy sitting in an office two blocks from Spotify headquarters. He's using AI to generate songs and currently has 10,000 of them on Spotify. Problem is, there are in fact only a couple hundred songs, just that he's used AI to subtly change the songs so they're almost identical, but not. They're all credited to random names, he is using SIX HUNDRED "names" as "creators" of this AI-generated music. If you go to Spotify and choose to play one of their curated song lists, about 20 of the 100 songs on the list are from this person.

And Spotify pays no performance rights/royalties to anybody for these things because copyright ONLY protects human-created content.

Did you like the songs? Good.
It's a brave new world, coming and in fact, it's already here.

   Not just music. I drive a long distance once a month.
   i loved listening to a book on the way and another on
   the way back.

   The last few trips, I can tell it's an AI voice reading,
   and it's just icky to me. No emotion, no nothing.

   I thought that was also resolved in the actors strike,
   but maybe not.

   There is also a lot of discussion about AI script writing. It was a factor in the writers' strike.

   I have heard some intentionally hilarious AI generated songs.

   I am human-centric
   It's going to be interesting to observe.

   ......."In January, researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab found workplaces are adopting AI much more slowly than some had expected and feared. The report also said the majority of jobs previously identified as vulnerable to AI were not economically beneficial for employers to automate at that time.".....

   You can't fool me. The lyrics of the first one were neither in French nor in Polish.:-)

   i listened. they all felt soul-less

   if i had not known they were AI , i would say it was like somebody who didn't make it in the music world and is now writing songs for very low budget movies

   Chat GP wrote the lyrics. The keywords I put in for the "piano" song were..."classical, piano, Chopin"

   and it gave me a pretty female vocal about how emotional piano playing is. Some of the male voice show some big distortion up high, but nowadays so many producers use auto-tune and other software to distort human voices that it doesn't stand out like it would have in 1980.
