AI + Music --> What will the future look like?

[sickofashes]

I'm hopeful enough that AI won't replace the connection we have to human-constructed music. I don't see a program replicating the emotional value from a song that tells a story. A simple club hit that people don't care much for, maybe, but proper tracks that tell a story - either through lyrics or melodic progression - I think we'll always gravitate towards real people. I think that psychologically bounces back to knowing that a person is behind a song as well, if I find out a song was AI-made, even if I ended up liking it I would just get a bad taste in my mouth. At least with a mid song made by a person I can relate to the fact that the musician/producer is progressing and learning to be better at their craft, and I will continue to support that person if I can hear the potential. Hell, that makes a banger from that producer even better when he finally nails it.

Yeah, it's probably likely that AI tools like some of the Waves Audio plugins will become mainstream for ease of use and quicker releases when they are good enough. AI completely replacing producers? Nah.
