Ai ain’t going away

[Oldmancomebacktrail]

I have a neighbour who is not a musician and he was showing me his songs and i was like oh how did you make them wait ( sounds robotic i thought ) is tha suno yeah he said there my songs ( he is like 50 and slightly autistic )

ah i said it’s fun for a gimmick and a joke for a few mins but then i got bored with it coz it didnt really feel like my music ( i got a dirty look )
and as crazy as this sounds my other neighbour is a 15 year old kid he is autistic too ( his dad used to play bass)
and this kid is a very very good pianist
( i will state my nephew has autism and this has nothing to do with the post and as unbelievable as it sounds it’s 100% true)
so he knocks on my door from time to time
this kid and speaks about music and he is like “ “george wanna hear my song “ so i listen and i am like ahh that good ahh did you make this on ableton intro (that i showed him how to use )
“no i made some backing tracks on suno it’s so easy he said. but mate i said your such an amazing clever piano player why do you need to do that i said , “ it’s easier he said i can’t play guitar

Now if you look at my other post i have been struggling to get back into producing lately but i’ve decided im gonna do it but slowly along with practice , but i can see this “suno hooks “

appealing to kids and them saying “ whats the point of learning anything if i can make music with the click of a mouse and collaborate on this suno stuff ?

i mean at the age of 45 im trying to get back into it not for fame and of course this won’t stop me

i know things got easier with the use of daws and electronic equipment over the years

but are we really going to see the part of music ie the production and creating of pieces of music taken over by AI

What do you think ?

You're kind of out of date! The two biggest AI generative music apps have capitulated to the industry giants and have signed deals to basically pay UMG, Warner and (eventually) Sony for the use of their artists material to teach AI. Part of the deal is that artists can refuse to allow their material to be used in this way, and that downloads of material generated prior to the court cases will be (or already has been) stopped.

How much difference this will make is moot - the settlements have been made in the USA and have no jurisdiction over much of the world, although Udio and Suno will be held to the settlement wherever the three big companies operate. But it's inevitable that software developed and marketed outside the USA will replace these two companies, and that software will get better and better and the streaming companies (at least, those who care) will struggle to detect AI-generated material. Also, forgive my cynicism that the industry giants will pass any of the payoff back to any artists who don't already generate billions of revenue for them!

So, this stuff won't go away but Udio and Suno have been hobbled.
