Kanye’s UNEXPECTED Sophomore Album Changed My Life
90% will just have to rethink the portion size of the cake. And fewer cakes. More AI content = less room for humans. For creativity? Yes this will have some positive sides. In the short term, rather positive. In the medium term (5 to 10 years) it's another story for music pros.
One of the reasons I listen to music is it gives me a type of emotional connection to another human, that I will probably never meet, or could even be dead. AI, no matter how good it gets at mimicking (because that’s what it is doing, not creating) will never provide that connection.
Type beat makers paradise
who wouldn't want to be a muppet? seriously sign me and my strat up to be the next Floyd. I can stay out of the sun until I turn pink like him. dude, getting to hop in a session and jam with Rolf, Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Hell man maybe we'd even luck out and get to play some hard rock with The River Bottom Nightmare Band.
remember when photography came around and expressionist/abstract work became the next big art movement? i feel like that a similar unintentional effect would happen with AI becoming more prominent in commercial art. unmistakably human art will become more popular. live performances? sculpting? thats me being as optimistic as possible while grounded in reality.
As soon as the technology like "Serato Stems" came along a couple years ago, I said that when it comes to hiphop, AI could be extremely useful in bringing back the "old school" sampling style that went away in the late 90s as clearing samples and all that became the norm, and extremely expensive. You somewhat illustrated that in this video - if I can work an AI prompt to give me something that sounds like a classic George Clinton song (for example), I can sample that, and not have to worry about clearing a sample with all the folks involved. I don't have to straight up use what AI generates, I can take what AI generates, and chop it up and bend it to how I see fit. This would be the digital equivalent of what Daft Punk has done, where they have musicians like Nile Rodgers or Chilly Gonzales go in the studio, freestyle on their instrument, and then chopping up what they recorded to make "Get Lucky" or whatever. Now, I can just put in a prompt that gets me that sound, and I can do what I want with it.
Using AI to augment human creativity, not replace it, does seem like our best choice here.
13:20 if you're going to go with option 2, then you can also use A.I. as a "sparring partner". See what A.I. can generate to know how high the current bar is. Then do better than that. You can also use A.I. to prototype a bunch of ideas you may have. Then when you find something it generated that is kinda good, take it further by doing better without A.I. It's not that different to when drum machines and synthesizers first came out, or DAWs or digital devices. People were using the same arguments that it's not "real" instruments. Same thing when Hip Hop first started using Turntables as Instruments; people said that wasn't real music. Peace
I'm excited to see this tech evolve from a novelty into a really powerful tool for artists. Once it can generate individual stems and tweak them precisely it will get a whole lot more interesting...
Yess I'm so glad to get your take on this, I knew it would be sobering but nuanced. Keep it up, you're one of the best real humans on here! ❤
Ngl that "jazzy hip hop" @ 1:57 sounds pretty good
This is incredible
Such a good and important video. Thank you DTG!
That’s a great video and quite opening. I am a big fan of the UA-cam show on BPM called E.Y.L and the new theme slaps and Dr Jared Ball said that was all A.I!You are absolutely right and it could lead to greater creativity for producers who decide to stick around.Being good enough doesn’t cut it and there are a ton of techniques out there from learning music theory other than western school,old school electronic techniques,using fx in innovative ways and so on.Honestly, I am optimistic although A.I will keep being and better.Great great topic!!🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hm ... is it because I know that it's AI produced, or is it because I am able to recognize that it's AI produced? I don't like any of the AI tracks.
This is such quality content. Scary af too. I hope A.i never gets to this level.
Daymn
10:30 I think this sums up the situation quite well.. I think the threshold for creativity just got elevated, and pretty significantly.. because yeah, those AI beats aren’t terrible. They don’t move me in any way, but neither does 90% of the music out there anyway, so I think the tiny market for forward-thinking music will remain, and a premium is about to be placed on originality because an AI will still need a sufficiently large sample before it can generically rehash that vapid shit for you.. live, improvised shows mean so much more to me now after watching this. Damn. The future is here, and I’m scared
AI didn't invent itself.
Such a great groove.
Excellent views going beyond the basic AI talk that's going on. Thanks for being human and making great videos.
all this could be avoided if people just had a shred of integrity to keep them from posting worthless data pollution garbage
>Drop a comment with your thoughts on this. Techbros will be the end of us all.
Use it to make loops. And clearance free samples. And go for what ya know. In fact it could be A win samples are expensive , lawsuits for everything. But sample based producers can really get off with it.
I think this is a great tool for any musician stuck with writer's block. You throw some song ideas in there, maybe give it some genre hints, see what it spits out, and then use that as inspiration for your own song. It doesn't hurt that it can be loads of crazy fun to just mess with, too.
We do not need to talk about this, ban AI stop hyping it
Dude, i mean this in the most platonic way possible, where have you been all my life?
Social proof like live demonstrations is going to be the future for art. I’m mostly been pretty negative about the AI creative space but there is potential, say I score a nice horns section, perhaps an AI assisted sampler could spit it out rendered with much better articulation instead of just using key switches and individual horns, and I could give it a few descriptive words to assist the tonality “late 1960s, tape, saturated, soul”. Also, the biggest hit so far from this service is “I glued my balls to my butt hole” so there’s that…
This is scary again... Damn. 😅
Great, nuanced take. The career crossroads is here for everyone.
This Sucks !!!!
When a new technology emerges we always make the mistake of unthinkingly applying it to what we currently do, rather than sit there and think for a few days/weeks on "how does this technology REALLY change things?" and then build the new thing that really advances us.
💯💯💯
I don't use AI to make music...but it is fascinating. Now the industry will get flooded with not so talented producers using AI how could one verify if the beat is generated rather than actually made by a person. Everyone will be doubted.
As a parent this is amazing for making great nursery rhymes and custom tunes for my daughter :'), random but try it
This video needs to get out there, AI art is not art. The digitization of media could possibly ruin art for everyone, and ai is only aiding it.
The “is this good or ethical” is another conversation that I could talk about for a long time. I also don’t think that argument is going to change anything unfortunately. It’s here and it’s passably good and we’re gonna see it everywhere 🤦♂️
@@diggingthegreats Is it good or ethical? We can talk about that another time. First a product demo!
Udio took ai music to the next level. Just a year ago you the human had to do far much more work to make banger AI songs. This udio can basically do EVERYTHING
AI is just another TOOL! Like computers, it's neither good or bad, you just have to know how to use it, you can't just click "create" and it's done, there's a lot room for creativity
If it spat out stems, I could see that. I don’t believe spitting out completed songs is a good thing or just a tool though
Well good thing you did a fulsome demo before saying you don't endorse it. Definitely not shill behavior. EDIT: Dude, I'm a huge fan of yours.
@@diggingthegreats for me full ai drake song is equally worth as an actual drake song, it won't stop underground from making creative art and it won't stop the top of the billboard being at the top, maybe it will be just easier for them, but nonetheless there are people that are still looking for something different, more deep
Drake is obsolete?
Let the backlaaaaash begiiiiiin
The music industry is cooked if AI keeps advancing at this rate
"the inaccuracies are way too numerous to make it worth it"....Um..you clearly have been living under a rock since they updated and resolved all those issues.
I'd say Udio is even more impressive than the image generators. Incredibly good at the first version already and it will only get better. And similar to how I feel about image generators, use it as a tool/starting point but not as an end product.
no. ew.
Nice as a novelty. Frightening as a potential replacement for creativity.
💯💯💯
Based on a mass robbery of copyrighted material.
I disagree. Most mainstream music lacks creativity anyway. AI won't replace the masterpieces, just the radio nonsense most of us ignore anyway. The most creative people will find ways to use AI to enhance their art, and create things we never could've imagined.
