Rick Beato on how easy it is to create AI music

[Vonhelmet]

I guess that comes down to the listener's choice.

If there's no skill or cost involved then they can cut out the middle man and just make their own music surely?

That’s my point, yeah. If you can download the AutoSlop app for free, or close to free, then why would you pay for anything?

As I said before though, that sounds "OK", but ultimately is just a relatively generic sounding loop, the mastering is all off, the "instruments" don't really sound cohesive, and there's no structure or progression to it. It's inoffensive, but nobody is going to be adding it to their Spotify playlist! (no offense intended, my stuff is no better!)

Yeah - was just me doodling inspired by the opening theme for Scarface, but it isn't a huge stretch from there to AI generated music as it stands currently and as you mentioned some people probably did and do look down on people using synths, etc.

On some level a synth is just a glorified electronic church organ, which is to say we’ve been doing this for centuries. It’s stupid to dismiss synths on that basis. The question for me is whether there’s a person or a computer at the helm.
