JD is right
This AI push is pure bullshyt
This AI push is pure bullshyt
Totally agree
U got some ugly hoe or Jermaine jackson looking nikka with no talent creating AI for music and now you want people to accept it
Next up will be the Denzel, Pacino, Leo , De niro type of actors being replaced by AI as well with trash people
All this is do to these corporations no longer want to pay or deal with artist anymore and AI is cheaper cost
So for concerts they will get a pretty bytch or chris brown look a like to lip sync
Shut this whole industry down

JD's right.
The whole point around this drive is to not spend. And since the industry is hurting right now, they're just trying to figure out more ways to bring in bread without the need for spending too much. People aren't buying in, so they're resorting to celebrity endorsements now. Sh*t is wack.

But that's literally every industry. That's what business is. Why would the music business be exempt from that? Idek why he's bringing up the Grammys at all. For one, it's not like the Grammys are based on some popular vote and we the people decided to take that shyt away from MV. Secondly the folks doing AI music aren't doing it for trophies. This is inevitable. Somebody is listening to the songs and that's literally all that matters here. It works already.
It differs from other industries because the music industry's product is art. That's not to say that you can't make money in the music industry by being anti-art, we see that in one way or the other all the time. But its definitely a different dynamic, and with larger consequences for culture and life in general than like a business that manufactures and sells washing machine parts or whatever

Let me be more specific. I meant how is it different in goals and desires by those invested and with much to gain? For someone with their salary based on profit margin, it might as well be washing machine belts. On quarterly review calls it's a product. In board meetings the art you love is not regarded the same way. Unfortunately. The ONLY reason this wouldn't take off is if people don't click it and stream it and use it in Reels. It won't be because they had a change of heart and valued artistic integrity. The people making these decisions do not care about that.
You're definitely right on the mark there. But it's also not unreasonable to imagine that people who aren't making those decisions (i.e. the consumer) might have a very different relationship/reaction to it.
It remains to be seen whether or not people will really respond to this stuff. I'd love to believe they won't, that it will be found to lack that special sauce that makes people connect to music--even explicitly commercialized music. But I admit that's potentially some woo woo ass thinking, and it's a fact that you'll never go too far wrong underestimating the public.

I don't even like cartoons anymore, if we talking bout fakest of fake entertainment.
But it's just that, entertainment. People will support who or what they want to support just to pass time

said it once and i'll say it again. the industry is played out. Rappers talking about the same shyt, how much they got, whos bytch they took, 80k on my wrist, shooting up a block. singers that really cant sing but use engineers to push their sound. same beats, same cords. I enjoy making AI music (for myself) because I can literally make any topic, use any instrument, any genre. Maybe today I'm in the moood for some afro beats with violins or drill with some flutes and arabic flavor. I can literally do whatever I want, its a jukebox of endless imagination.
example. I want to hear a drill rapper rap about the Epstein files. something most rappers wont do for one reason or another.
and if I want, I can even use the same voice, same lyrics but over an afro beat, I can change his voice into a female. if I want to have some trumpets? I can do that too. heck, I can even master it by downloading the stems and sound engineer the whole thing. I can run a 16 bar piano sample I played, and have a beat or an orchestra revolve around it in less than a min. and build from there. I even prompted background music for someones tiktok horror story. I knew the exact synth and notes I wanted, and effects I wanted to pop in and out and the exact seconds.
I prompted a neosoul track clowning my wife while she was in the shower , I had it on full blast, she started laughing her ass off.
this doesnt mean artists are gone forever. I will still listen to my favorite artists when they drop, but these days I find myself very intrigued by AI music, esp since I don't have to wait for a single or album to drop. I can make 20 tracks in an hour. however I see fit. you just have to know how to prompt, its esp useful if you know music theory, scales, format etc.

It's not that simple homie
I'm not saying AI music won't grow
But a lot of people will never accept it.

Music has been so devalued by consumers that these appeals to old school values and connections with music simply fall on deaf ears. Kids consume viral songs and move on, they don’t care about or worship stars the same way. Throw on a playlist and KIM, if most people aren’t gonna look up half the artists on a playlist, so streaming services and record companies can save a ton by not having an artist to pay. JD’s argument works for Gen X and millennials, but Gen Z and definitely Gen Alpha don’t have the same connection to nor standards for music. people need to stop acting surprised that a generation of people who’ll go to a concert to hear one viral song and not know the rest of an artists catalog will embrace AI music.
