Apple Music to Label AI-Generated Songs

To illustrate this further, let's use the famous Jobs quote

The computer is the bicycle FOR human minds.

That's different than AI where it's trying to BE the mind.

As an individual who resists AI infiltration in human existence and rejects state surveillance, I am reminded of the famous story of the unwell person who took hammer to the foot of the David statue 30 years ago because they found it vulgar and not artful.
We people have bigger fish to fry than bicker on what is and what is not artful or whatever ticks or doesn't ideologic boxes. That's a broad brush to be sure- Art is art if the artist says so. Tastes vary and that is good.
 
Why are we even calling them artists?
It also going to plague the movie industry too, already we see AI generated characters people think are real.
I am paying for Apple Music, I need the ability to toggle off all AI slop including the genre that I do not like.

The time will come when AI content becomes undetectable.
As far as I'm concerned, great music fell ill in the 1990s and died with the new century. Pretty much everything since then has been insipid and mind-numbing.
 
The world ever hastens onward at a pace beyond imagining. The future belongs only to those willing to join its course—or else, step off now.

There's a world of difference between a human using a computer and its tooling to help create their music and straight up AI generated songs.

Sure, agree, and the same applies too everything "AI generated" be it images, text, videos and what not.
Everything should get labeled as AI generated so that we know, simple as that.

In this particular case I applaud Apple for doing this, and I hope this is only the beginning.

There is always good and bad (subjective) art being produced. Such is culture. I prefer newer (pop- and/or electronic leaning) music generally speaking although I can be very picky in what I choose to listen to.

Millennial here if that matters at all (one of my Gen-X friends made a similar comment about missing music from the 90s when I was playing some of what I'd been listening to recently for her).

I think that the AI is one of the bigger fishes to fry. AI has no composure, no true meaning, no passion.

That is an extremist anti-technology position

Synthetic samples and computer generated sounds have existed in music for 60 years. You are basically advocating for a ban on electronic genres just because some anti-AI mania on the internet told you that it is cool to hate.

I agree, this is a problem

There are many music artists who have no traditional musical creation skills and just use keyboard synthesizers. Artists like Deadmau5. He openly states he has almost no traditional music creation skills. He is all synthesizers and often sampling.

Music artists are just Luddites, maybe they should be concerned but they are still just being protective
 
@turbineseaplane downvotes my post and I am gratified because I was fairly certain I was on their block list from prior ideologic activity.

Allow me to posit this: What is or is not art and what is or is not taste for the same?

I don't care for seafood, lobster and crab is gross, to my taste. Some agree and some disagree. What is the established metric on individual tastes? There isn't one. It's a matter of opinion.

To be clear, I tend to favor rock music from 1977 because I believe that is the high point of artistry in the genre, but I'm not closed to any sound because of how or when it was generated.

Art is art even if it is synthetic

True, but there is a slight difference between computer-generated and AI-generated. Computer-generated sounds are pieces of code using sound waves constructed over time to create the type of sound that is being generated, and AI-generated sounds is basically the AI ripping a certain sound and flexing and manipulating it into the users satisfaction. There is no actual work being done with AI-generated sounds, in which you are comparing something well crafted and dedicated to something pre-done...

Art is art if created by a human. Otherwise it’s garbage.

AI really doesn't have any sort of change to the mood, and can and will use the same exact sequence as all of the other sorts of songs that the AI threw out. Sure, it certainly is fine to stick to one genre, but the same exact mood or sequence? Then it gets boring.

Computerized clinic for superior cynics
Who dance to a synthetic band
In their own image their world is fashioned
No wonder they don't understand
