It’s the future for those who don’t have an issue with it.
Personally, my life will remain unchanged by it because I just don’t give a fuck about it. I have no interest in hearing or utilizing AI in the context of music. Seems the quickest way to remove any enjoyment I get from writing/recording/performing would be to hand the keys over to something else to do it for me.

I think it will get the same sort of credibility that AI art gets - the plebians and old people will ooh and ahh but everyone else will look at it at face value and it will not replace true art. What’s shitty is that digital art aside, AI can’t create a painting, but it will come to the point where you may not know a band used AI to write their discography, or when the public doesn’t care.

I would probably rather listen to AI than another AC/DC song

I get the fascination with it. The art and video makes you go "wow, that's something else". But soon after you start to realize the impact and consequences of the whole thing. It's one thing to accept that it's here to stay, but totally something else when you also embrace it. I'm choosing not to embrace it, and sure as heck not going to use it to make music for me.

Funny thing, at the camp, someone asked John Petrucci what his thoughts were on AI, and he doesn't like it at all. Meanwhile his band mate Jordan is all over it with his tech gadgets.
Well, I thought it was ironic at least.

I guess it makes sense that the dude playing the keyboard is more receptive to it

It’s already happened here where AI music was posted and people didn’t realize it was AI, so if it’s happening here it’s DEFINITELY happening with common folk who don’t play.

What surprises me is the guys falling for it. I can tell (for now), which is why I hold my comments on some clips.

If it sounds like Yngwie playing Dragonforce solos; you know it's real.

I think that would be called Vinnie Moore.

Was there still money in Rick music other than legacy acts?

Spotify etc are the most likely ones to use them, where they will silently start feeding AI songs into playlists so they can avoid paying as much royalties to real artists.
For people who just use music as something in the background, this might be good enough. For people actually into music, who care about the bands, the lyrics, the art of it all...it'll never work.
I'm sure there were the same concerns when e.g electronic music became a genre (and a huge load of subgenres). E.g music created with trackers is telling a computer sequencer how to play samples, with no real instruments involved. The composing is still done by a human though the sounds are not.
