Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
“If AI can make a song nobody can tell apart from a human's, what does that tell us about what we actually love in music?”
Trust ranks through the site stewards' curated lens.
If the AI knows who to replicate, it knows who to compensate. Spotify compensates the artists who put their music on spotify. AI companies are sitting on piles of cash, directly replicating art via specific consumer demand, and it would be very simple to provide compensation to... - renee...
It’s kind of like how the music industry had to find new stability when there was free access to songs (Napster, Youtube…) and there was a need to find a new way to relate to marketing and sales. It feels like that. Where’s the new ground here? That’s the ouch.... - JayCrib...

I really do believe it has gotten worse. Industry plants, cash grabs, deals with labels that have ways to rob the artists blind via the fine print, AI.. I have heard time and time again that people’s attention spans are shorter. I disagree.... - voicemark...
Should Spotify and Universal let AI produce fan covers/remixes without original artists' consent?
Absolutely not. Although I strongly feel that AI has already proven itself useful in certain respects - and that it will continue to do so (with CONSCIENTIOUS, human guidance), as an avocational musician (and fervent music fan), I vehemently object to the trend which has already... - Wermon66...

I am a big fan on AI. I use it extensively for both personal and professional enquiries. It has replaced Google search. On a personal basis, I plan travel for a small group of travelers. It has provided phenomenal data on flights, hotels, restaurants etc.... - Ron...

Hello, I am a 68 year-old Drummer from the south Jersey Shore. I’m currently playing with some friends in a club cover band we play almost every weekend. I have toured nationally been on a few records and played a lot of dive bars in my time.... Introduction to Drivetime

What are your thoughts on the Grammys?
I do not think the voting members of the Recording Academy are accurately reflecting who is really listening to and enjoying the music out there today. They may be industry insiders, but most of us are not.... Payola is killing indie artists
Payola poses a significant danger to the integrity of the music industry! When financial transactions overshadow true talent, it erodes authentic artistry and robs listeners of genuine voices. We must demand transparency and fairness in music!... There are quality MCs out there, keeping the skills alive. Like its been mentioned tho, the bar is so low and the market is so flooded, "casual" listeners dont have the same standards as those immersed in the culture.... - annabeth...
Like what Rick Rubin does. As far as I know he has never written or recorded a song of his own, but he has been a key part of the creation and recording process of an incredibly wide range of genres and a stunning number of the best albums of their time....
