Reply to comment by necriel in This sub seems weirdly hopeful? I don't get it. by [deleted]

Yeah I will still listen to music. My argument is more, if the effort required to create a piece of art, whether it be music, books etc, is equal to zero. Then what is the artistic value of it? The world would be absolutely swamped by music, like every possible permutation of music will be created. Is the guy who typed in the prompt credited for "making" it? Is the AI?

I quite like song #4148195115ab43, what about you?

I foresee a future where you log into your app and literally just say "play me something in the style of '80s hair metal, and the song is about ____." And it creates it instantly, exactly to your description.

In that world, everything is customizable and specifically catered to the individual. All media is now procedurally generated and individualized. The job of the creative has shifted from the technician to the curator; people do not pay for things to be created, people pay for others opinions and curatorial decisions instead. We are not too far away from this now. Hence the rise of influencers.

will get really crazy when the AI can produce a improvisational jam from the band Phish who has a lot of different eras in their 39 year history. "Play me a Phish concert in the 1997 style that starts with shorter songs and has a second set that is more exploratory." The AI will analyze all 1997 shows and then produce improv music that came to the band from the ether years ago.

What do you mean rise of influencers? They are the same as any celebrity before them, just in a new media space.

I do agree that the only people who hold any "value" in an artist space would be the popular and famous.

There's already 100000 new songs being released every single day, since anyone with basic knowledge of music can just create them with softwares now. It takes hundreds of years to listen to every song released in the world.

Having AI that automatically generates music is not going to make the world feel more swamped in music than it already is nowadays.

I have no indication of the value of the music that is created now? I put on the radio and i hear songs. Why would these be valued more to me then those created by an AI?
