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.

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.

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.
