only if the nuance of that artist is coded in or their playing style , there will come a time when AI will be able to hear some one and instead of repeating what is heard will use this information to create a convolution of that artist style to create original music , similar to how a convolution reverb can mimic a given audio environment for reverb. but will only address the techniques created by the artist. I believeWill AI duplicate the styles and sounds of existing artists?
I would like to hear some new tunes by Van Halen featuring David Lee Roth, circa 1976 - 77. Thanks in advance to any TDPRI member who can make this happen.
I agree. Even the term ‘grammatical correctness’ (spellcheck, grammarly, chatgpt) at times reaches the level of oppressive taskmaster. Sometimes microsoft outlook tells me to put in an optional ’that’ when it is perfectly acceptable to leave it out. Languages evolve and vary regionally, which is completely natural. We say ‘me and my friend’ all the time. Songwriters are reflecting real life speech and feelings. I like to hear it in songs too!It's maybe weird but I like it when a songwriter creates a song that includes words used grammatically wrong that put your mind in a place where the overall message of the song is enhanced. Dylan did this a lot. CCR, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, etc. all did this in a way that put you on the same "back porch" or "highway at night" or "bar stool". I wonder if AI would stick with "correct" wording and lose this mental link created through a true human songwriters misuse of the language. AI seems to go for perfection. Some of my favorite songs were created around a lack of perfection.
I agree wholly, AI will develope but will never replace the human element, only the technique or style used. With out a finite set of instructions or model to follow( like swing , classical, country, etc. ), all AI music will be random and self generative . a well versed musician can take any song , any song , and can play it in any style , EG. classical tune played rock, country, jazz, flamenco if you want, based on chord structure , melody, hooks and movements, then take it back to its original form, and at the same time create and develop an new song in another direction entirely ( that is a ton of code for any computer. at present)I agree. Even the term ‘grammatical correctness’ (spellcheck, grammarly, chatgpt) at times reaches the level of oppressive taskmaster.

I think about this sometimes - and it's more complicated than just that. AI has a huge database of information that informs it as it creates new things - terrible songs, standard rejection letters, pictures of elves and wizards. But it's drawing upon these sources, not duplicating them. In that sense at least, it's really the same as what people do.The main problem I have with AI chatbots is that they don’t provide any sources when they regurgitate “facts” or, in the present case, create a “new” song based on an artist’s life work. I believe it borders on the unethical. No one in science would produce a technical paper without providing references. The AI systems have to get their information by “training” - which is a fancy way of saying they get information created by humans without providing any attribution.
In the case of AI music, just wait until the copyright infringement lawsuits begin…

If "plagiarism" means merely basing your original thing on the things that have gone on before, then The Blues is in for a world of lawsuits!
It should be clear to anyone who has worked with AI that they are not in any way a credible source of information - along with a lot of good info there will be some percentage of stuff that is completely made up, BS, whatever you want to call it. AI nerds call it "hallucinating" which is pretty kind, really.
Harsh. Add a Cookie Monster counterpoint to the mumble-rap and bring the end of civilisation.Then tell it to include a banjo.
I was making the case that humans "taking inspiration from" work that has gone before is pretty similar in some ways to what these AI programs are doing. Artists look at a lot of art before they start making art! It all goes into the noggin and influences what comes out. And human artists don't generally provide "references" either and don't particularly feel the need to. It's interesting times we live in - I don't have any answers, just trying to look at this stuff from a variety of viewpoints.As long as “AI” systems fail to provide references to the information theystealconsume, I will not be supporting those products. Again, I feel it is unethical especially since, in many cases, it represents some person’s life work which now is attributed to a corporation’s software program…
I get your point but feel there may be a step missing if I could add.I was making the case that humans "taking inspiration from" work that has gone before is pretty similar in some ways to what these AI programs are doing.
