I don’t have any interest in using ai, most of my interest is in watching people spout off that will be proven so incredibly wrong in five years. The truth is this stuff is way harder and more complicated then we were actually sold on… we were supposed to have self driving cars ten years ago. That has never stopped humans before because it is hard, and self driving cars I can feel are almost here… which by chance has helped ai in robots skip that same ten tears, which is probably still ten years away today. None of this means that we never will have almost free transportation, robots everywhere, and ai doing most things in the world… because we will… fight it all you want but it is inevitable at this point, the question is how long…

First they feared the radio, next they feared the telephone, then they feared the movies, then they feared the television, then they feared the cellphone, next they feared the internet, now they fear AI.
I think we need to wait for quantum computing and 3d printers that can make ‘anything’ from fresh food, to synthesisers, to guns and bioweapons … before we really need to panic

Clakerphiles got nothing but the one argument and it’s a totally lame one. Do they believe that repeating it over and over will make it work? 
You forgot painters feared photography.
On the positive side, pigeons, in particular those bearing bad or already delivered news, have certainly been happier ever since radio discovery.
absolute carnage - they say the oil paint flowing down the Seine looked like blood as painters disposed of their materials in despair when the first Leicas and Nikons hit Paris

True, it pushed artists to think outside of the box, and not paint what they see in front of them in terms of realism(using white color for light and black for shadow is just one of them).
Impressionist made huge leaps in painting up to that point.
Also i cannot skip other technical discoveries at the time, like one of the most important one, when white light goes trough prism, it shows different colors(whole spectrum) based on their wavelengths.

There is no doubt, and I’ve seen it first hand amongst creative friends, generative AI is without doubt already impacting the livelihoods of illustrators, designers, media composers, voice over artists, sound engineers.
I can think of two close friends who are now genuinely struggling to find work, and they’re very talented at what they do.

It’s all fun and games until a large library of AI generated music gets a copyright strike and a large settlement is reached.
Use it to mock up an idea or learn about some niche chord progression from a genre of music you’re new to. Putting it into your music is asking for trouble. Just ask Hollywood.
I felt uneasy and unsatisfied watching The Irishman with an AI youth version of De Niro … the dystopian future of all human creativity is replaced by AI is overblown.
"I am [unnamed right wing US podcaster]’ song is a case in point. Awful stuff that no human would ever bother creating.
If you think of the really great movie soundtracks or even popular music of the last 30 (50, 70, 100, 150) years, they are 1 in a million, but amazing. Interstellar OST, Creedence Clearwater, Joshua Tree, Mozart … the list is very long across genres and mind boggling. Led Zeppelin, Saturday Night Fever OST, Janes Addition, Solaris OST, Chopin, Gorillaz, Beethoven, Beastie Boys, DJ Shadow … etc etc etc. None of that could be pioneered by AI.
Overblown? But how can something nobody with a functioning brain has ever thought be overblown? What kind of dumb argument are you trying to manufacture? lol . Nobody is worried about ai replacing creativity 
that’s so lame! I’m guessing only a clankerphile would come up with that… so barren of thought
I think over years lines between reality and ai will be heavily blurred.
New generations might not even know anything before that, so for them this will be real.
In 5-10 years I think the hand-wringing about AI will seem very quaint. The genie isn’t going to go back in the bottle. Commercial art (shopping muzak, background music, advertising) is already shifting to being dominated by AI. That trend will continue.
The internet is already flooded with low-effort crap. Think of vaporwave labels with hundreds of releases. AI music sounds more competent and engaging than at least the bottom third of that. It will slowly infiltrate playlists and radio. It’ll freely intermingle with “organic” music.
At the major label end of things, I’m sure they’re excited by the fast prototyping potential of AI. You don’t need to pay a session musician for hours of studio time. You can pay someone to prompt 10x that output in the same time and sift through to pull out the best bits.
I think “musical autocompletion”, style transfer, and some other forms of AI interpolation will be gradually accepted among creative types and aid in producing interesting art.

Could you please elaborate how putting any chord progression, no matter how unique, from any style or song into your music would get you into trouble ?
There are copyright concerns about generative AI use. For example, if you were to use a generative AI model that relies on being trained by copyrighted material, and that company was sued, you would also be open to copyright claims.
I’m not sure how you don’t see that but it seems really obvious to me that using AI models to inject content is a massive risk. There are a lot of copyright questions that have yet to get court precedent. For example, it might mean that some work that uses generative AI is itself not subject to copyright laws.
You misunderstood their post. They said only use it in that way (learning, mockup) , instead of generating stuff and putting that directly into your music
Yes, thank you.
