Why not open over using AI?

Dj Aquana

It’s not nice to see so much AI-generated music being spread across the platform. Without the “Artist” being open about it.
Let me start off myself. Yes, I have also used AI. Out of curiosity or to help someone with a nice personal song.
I therefore ask you to just be honest and open about this. I know AI “artists” personally and even have songs from them that I listen to simply because it touches me. However, also because they are honest about it and simply mention it. I hope that no one takes this as an attack, but it is not fair to all the people who have worked on a song for years to be discriminated against by a flood of unfair competition. I hope that the people who are concerned take this to heart. In the end, the truth is the best policy.

I also wanna promote my new upcomming non use of AI track called:
AI Is taking over…

AI is a tool - and now Pandora’s Box is open, it will never go away. Much like the sequencer (which led to the invention of house and dance music in the late 1980s), the electric guitar, especially in the 1960s and 70s (although its popularity has waned somewhat in the intervening years), and the drums (invented in prehistoric times, possibly with a degree of scepticism by the naysayers of the day!).

If we use AI with care, responsibility and tastefully, there is no reason why it cannot be a good thing. However, much like any new tool, it is open for abuse.

There will be entirely AI-generated acts, including their music and visuals - and everything else - which the sheeple will adore. If these things are allowed to take over, then that is the end of humans making music. But that probably won’t happen.

Fire is a tool. It can cook your food and warm your bones. When it gets out of control, it can burn down your neighbourhood. It’s a similar analogy. Let’s aim for controlled use of AI.

Dark Company The problem is not the AI. You can do realy good stuff and ad it as a big help in all kinda ways.
The problem is the humans who use it in the bad way. Like big labels creating AI bands so they can keep royalties for them self.

Dark Company I like your comment “If we use AI with care, responsibility and tastefully, there is no reason why it cannot be a good thing”

Yes AI, is part of our world now, and there is a divided opinion - mine is simply be honest about it

I have read a lot of opinions on AI in music, and most of it is negative.

I write everything I produce, and I’m very particular about lyrics, thats my thing. If someone is using AI and put 3 words as a prompt for a song, sorry, I don’t see the creative vision nor the time and effort.

Artistically, you use energy and emotion and time. Thats called a process. The result is yours, the response is from the listeners out there.

I have a composer, but I have also enjoyed creating the sound mix myself. I can also use an AI program to play with my musical arrangements ideas.

Learning how to combine vocals, writing and arrangement took a long time, I’m still learning as I go!

The difference for me is that I do and have done the hard slog, way before AI, and continue to.

Yet the debate is open - If the work is honest, great. If it doesn’t involve your input and translation of skills, talent or experience, I understand the arguments
