You know, could you ask that AI to do a song about the poster "Kafka" on Tigerdroppings in a power pop sound then post it?
My brother and I only do our own songs but you can do it yourself using one of the AI music sites.

I don't doubt this.

No, it is not. What a camera does and what a portrait painter does are two completely different things. You can look at a painting and at a camera picture, even if they are of the exact same subject, and know instantly which is which. For your comparison to work, the painter would need to start using a camera to take photos of his subjects and then telling people, "Hey, look at these incredible pictures I painted!"
Nonsense. Tell that to the portrait artists who went out of business when photography became available to the public.
A lot of people who would have had a portrait artist do their portrait simply took a photo of themselves or paid a professional photo studio to do it because it was much cheaper and quicker than having a portrait artist do it.

Yeah, I get your snide insult but it would be impossible for us to pay people to play all of the musical instruments or for us to sing as well as the singers in the AI version.

What is the free music AI, I want to use it?

My bad. This is a bad faith argument because you're arguing something that hasn't been true in 20 years, to the extent it ever was (one could always look deeper and past what's popular or what's on the radio). The internet had already democratized who can record and release music. If you're only paying attention to what major labels produce and promote, then you are severely limiting the amount and variety of music you expose yourself to. And you're apparently using that as an excuse to seek and prompt music made from an algorithm.
You can listen to whatever you want, but most people enjoy art knowing that humans created it. And most artists are artists because they want to create. Prompting and then re-promoting isn't writing or creating, just as lesrning how to speak more directly to your labor force isn't performing the labor. Pasting something made for you, whole, and then tweaking that whole is not rigorously editing and refining. So, prompt and enjoy what you want, but you're kidding yourself into believing this is a "tool."
Since my brother and I are not intending to be professional musicians or songwriters none of your post applies to us but it still applies to people who are trying to be a professional musician or singer.
AI is as much a tool as the numerous pedals and things musicians already use to create the final version they want their song to sound like.

I don't know but you can find that out.
The AI I am using lets me hear the majority of the version it creates for free but I had to pay a few bucks to hear the entire version.
As a result it costs me about $2 for each song I decide I want to keep.
However, if I don't like the AI version I don't have to pay anything.

I’ve spent over 35 years working on my craft with my instrument. It’s real! It’s my fingers hitting the strings and it’s organic. A computer can’t replace that. It’s fake. It will never produce that slam that comes out of my bass cabinet. You can feel it. I can feel it on my back when I play. Nothing can replicate that.
My brother has played the guitar and written many songs for over 60 years so you don't have to explain how wonderful it feels to play your own music.
However, no matter how hard he tries it is impossible for him to create a song with back up vocals, female lead singer, a full orchestra behind him, etc.
He can do that using AI.

Are you sure?
Their music wouldn't be as good without the two of them working together.
Just their harmonies alone proves that.

I wasn't the one flinging insults first. My threads wouldn't end heated if the people who disagree with me could express their disagreement without resorting to insults.

BS, some of Simon's best work is without Garfunkel. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard by itself proved that. You need to drop your dead weight brother and get on with the Kafka AI song, "solo".

I'm not saying or implying both Simon or Garfunkel are not capable of producing their own good music.
However, as a team, they created and performed great music together which they couldn't have created on their own.
The same goes for McCarthy and Lennon, the Righteous Brothers, Jan and Dean and many other duos.
You need to go to an AI music site and produce your own version of the Kafka AI song

Reaching items off of high shelves.
No, in all reality, Art had a fantastic voice. He couldn't write but he accompanied Paul perfectly. They made some great stuff together.

I know good music when I hear it whether or not it is produced by AI.
And this is the flaw in your logic and the part you still can't comprehend even when told.
Musicians have to learn to hear. It's called ear training because the overwhelming majority of people do not hear what they need to master a song. It's part of the process just like learning the physical mechanics of an instrument. Its why not everyone can play until putting in the time. And not being able to hear the difference proves you are not musically gifted from birth.
It's kind of like driving a car. Most everyone can get to the store and back, but it takes an experienced profession to hear and feel his way around a race track with other people on it. It's not just the feel of the car, it's the engine noise, the sound of transmission, of the tires, how far you can safely push it. And yet you are here arguing with others who are trying to do you a favor.
So maybe it's not us who are being so insulting.

Art is meant to be made through struggle and work
Not a fricking robot doing it for you
And if a robot does it for you, how is that your art? Your value to your own work is diluted if not completely removed all together

He’s not trying very hard and it’s not impossible to do background vocals, or patch in strings with a keyboard or god forbid learn a few notes on a violin and record them. If you really mean it’s too much work to do all that so you got a machine to write parts for you that everyone can detect very quickly, then that’s another thing. AI can reproduce (poorly to the trained ear), simple music like rap and bro country, but until it can write God Only Knows, just needs to stay away from quality music. You may like AI music, but your favorite musician doesn’t.
