How AI Could Ruin 750,000 Music Careers | Time To Fight Back

Welcome to the 2020s. The era where 50% of all current jobs will be lost to automation.

I’ll write music regardless because it’s my passion. AI is faceless etc but I can’t pretend it doesn’t piss me off unfortunately. Anyway onwards and upwards guys 🎶🎶

69th comment.. nice...

Good tips!! Appreciate it

0.75x is a perfect velocity

Yoooo Adam you gotta let me know when you're using the pornhub jingle wife almost took my head off LMAO

At the end of the day the cream always Rises to the top 🔝 AI will get exposed. Doesn’t worry me at all.

Keep your art real, unique, from your soul, thats the real pourpose of doing it anyway, so doesent matter what AI will sound like, in the end people will miss the human side of things, cause algorythms wont fill any soul at all.

he's trying to positive about it, didn't mention the jobs ruined and other negative stuff, come on man be real, this is way worst.

I'm both worried and excited, for the reasons you talked about. But I suppose it's like any other technological advancement: some will lean on it as a crutch, while others will use it as a tool while still relying on their own creativity and individuality. Like others have said, AI isn't going away, so I suppose it's best to figure out how to incorporate it into what I'm doing in a way that doesn't totally depress me lol

I made Kanye sing Cold by Crossfade today, and it took 5 minutes. We are in a new time

Thank you for breaking down Ai tools schools and colleges should teach student how to utilize AI tools not stop them. It's wrong to memorize things when you can access all the knowledge in the internet . The best way is creativity and critical thinking

Show me a fully AI produced song that is in the Top 50 US charts and I might be impressed. Until then it's just toying around and make a generic sounding song.

As instrumental music is my fulltime career I´ve become more and more scared of AI taking over unfortunately.
If you make mood music, people don´t care from where the music is coming from so it´s really hard to actually build a brand around that. It´s harder to connect to instrumental mood music then singer songwriters for example. However I don´t see AI making high quality music fully without the guidance of a composer in the next 5 years or so. So I accepted to work with AI in the future, assisting and picking/sorting what is actual good music/ shaping what the AI generates. I believe that will be a future "job" for a lot of musicians. Since you still need the experts with experience to tell the AI where to go etc.

FIrst it was the megaphone, then it was radio then it was cassettes and CDs and finally it was napster, kazza and torrents. Stop whining and adapt to the new technology or get left behind.

Especially if you're an artists that don't connect with your fans. In this way, you make them loyal to you. FOREVER

I'm not worried at all, a good musician will utilize this technology to be even more creative.

Chatgbt is LITERALLY game changing for bands who are clueless on booking/promoting. This thing seriously has 99.5% of the answers and if you use it right you can seriously have a major advantage in the industry all because of this app

in my opinion the music industry needs to change we need to get ride of American idol and do more with people who do not have the opportunity to get out and heard but that is just my opinion.

If this AI started in the 2000s, we'd still have just as much trash in the top 10s and on the radio as we already have. Talentless artists will make trash with or without AI. One could consider autotune as primative AI and a good example of this.

Tech companies taking over once again. This won’t be good.

Id love to play around with chatGpt but I dont have a cellphone or a phone system it allows
cell services dont work well in my region, so some of us may have landlines. voip, satellite radio phones etc... So I am not allowed

Here is the thing. Production companies are about to collapse because anyone can make these things for FREE. If there is no money, the industry collapses. Also, it's not like they can sue anyone because each is original content from a robot.

Seems a little short sighted. AI is going to become infinitely better at everything humans can do within a couple of years at the speed it is increasing intelligence now.

Thing is: If you want, you can use AI to produce music that no human would have come up with. Many people miss that opportunity.

I did utilize ChatGPT to write 3 or 4 versions of one song's lyrics to help give some gas to ideas I was struggling with.

I did wind up using... one word out of all those ideas. But it did otherwise help me think about the lyrics in different ways to get around the block, I guess? 😅

It's definitely not as scary as some people think.

NOOOOOOO ADAM YOU'RE RUINING MY BUSINESSS!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

Lmfao. Fight back. There is no reason to fight back against an optimized tool.

All this will do is enable good and unique music for the first time in decades.

It's coming to all jobs and your position was never as special as it made you feel. It was only a special thing hundreds of years ago.

I just listened to juice wrld and XXX AI music and it’s crazy scary how accurate the AI is able to mimic exact sound of an artist voice. I just hope corporations don’t decide to make AI music from dead artists to make more money with their vocals and voice it would be very disrespectful.

your initials are AI 🤔

AI is soulless and evil. It should be regulated by law to allow human beings to live rewarding lives.

USA is killing every human's hope

That drumroll caught me off guard. I’m so used to Adam’s voiced drum roll lol.

Let's be clear, AI is NOT writing any songs at all. There's a reason AI can't be protected by a copywrite. AI is nowhere near the threat the media wants you to think it is. All AI can do is copy what already exists. Nothing new will ever come out of AI. The reason all this fear-mongering is happening, is because a lot of wealthy people are going to lose their jobs to AI. For decades they told us we'd lose our jobs to robots, and now AI is poised to take the jobs of every stock broker, every accountant, even corporate officers are fairly useless now. And which makes more sense for a company to adopt? Using robots to do the $15/hr jobs at a much higher cost, or using AI to do the job of someone who is paid millions? Robots mean maintenance. Robots mean redesigned aisles for the robots to work in. AI could be the biggest disrupter for the wealthy in history. They are terrified, as they should be, and they are trying to spread that fear to protect their jobs.

We don't need an AI freeze. We need to get proficient at using AI. This is a once in a millennia chance to even the score just a little bit. This is the new wild west. Don't be scared. This isn't a threat to musicians at all. Not even pop acts.

AH! The name of your masterclass... (Chef's kiss)

real smooth transition to the next video at the end. If I wasn't busy researching something you'd have gotten the next click through for sure. Glad I found your channel!

I want to be an artist in future but this ai just gave me a mental breakdown , i am actually having a really hard time because all the time I put into my practice and my dreams 😭💀

I see some people worrying about music, so here's my take. AI will most definitely replace all forms of mainstream music. Because mainstream music has been spiritually and artistically dead for the a few decades. 99.9% of the songs you hear on the radio are simply products. Let's take some goofy poser like Drake. He doesn't write his own lyrics, he doesn't produce his own beats, he does none of the engineering in the studio, he takes no part in the cinematography of his clips. This guy shows up to the studio, he's handed a couple of lines, he raps for 3 hours, then leaves. A couple of weeks later the people in charge of making everything for him release his track and a clip video and he earns millions for doing none of the work. He's just a face for something that isn't real. Drake isn't an artist, he's just the personality used to ship that art under. And that applies to virtually all the most popular artists nowadays. They're just posers. They're just a celebrity being handed all the fame and recognition for something they truly didn't do. And all of that soulless process is reflected in how unoriginal, boring, uninspiring and simple their art is. This mainstream music has been made with methods resembling AI for decades already. For example, all a beatmaker has to do is load up FL studio, load up a premade template, jam on his keyboard for 30 minutes, hand his shit to an engineer to mix and master it and boom it's done. That's why a beatmaker can make dozens of beats a day. It's the artistic equivalent of McDonalds. It will be REALLY FUCKING EASY for AI to replace these factory workers (not artists, they're factory workers because they're just the individual processing units that end up making a finished product). And honestly, I don't give a fuck because it won't make a difference anyway. It's not like there was any soul in this type of music in the first place. It will just become easier to ship out more artistic McDonalds so that drones can consume their daily dose of mind numbing noise.

Now to me there's another big category, and that is the artists that are still popular to the point of sometimes making it to the mainstream scene, while still having some form of artistic integrity. These people will either lose the rest of their integrity and let AI do shit for them, won't change their ways, or they might actually do the right thing for the art consciousness and decide to become better artists by partaking in more of their production, refusing to use that technology and trying to make higher quality art. But I'm not familiar with this caliber of artists so let me head to the next category.

Now that's where it gets interesting in my opinion. There are many artists out there making authentic music out true passion and for the sake of art. These young artists that currently have 25 followers on Soundcloud will become the next generation of renowned artists. They're the pioneers. Because their music will be so unique that AI will never catch up to it. It will be so expressive and intimate that AI will never even come close. If anything, I see AI as something positive in that regards, because it will weed out all the people who were never "artists" in the first place, the posers, the people getting the fame for doing 5% of the work.
Then the REAL artists will shine. Because they'll be the only ones able to deliver something that moves humanity's soul. The ones that were ignored because their taste and style were too out of the box, too unordinary, too special, or simply too thought provoking will finally get the recognition that they deserved. They won't be left in the shadows anymore, in very small tightknit communities, or just alone.
The first half of this was quite negative because I have a fundamental disgust for cheaply made "art". But the conclusion is positive. And I want to spread hope about this whole art situation, especially in music and in animation.
I know that to you reading this, I'm just some random guy saying some random shit. But please trust me when I say that the next decade will show a marvelous and beautiful expansion of the boundaries of art. There's going to be so much boundary breaking, breath taking, impressive art that will push the art consciousness forward in realms never seen before. The culmination of thousands and thousands and thousands of years of collective work. And it will be amazing. I'm genuinely looking forward to what these young unknown artists are cooking in their bedroom, or perhaps while traveling the world as vagabonds for inspiration.

You might actually be one of those artists I'm talking about right now. If you are one of them, a misunderstood artist who knows he has something to say to the world, something to make it more beautiful, desperately trying to show the world what you're capable of to no avail, don't lose hope. Your time is coming. I know that it's hard when people judge your work on shit that doesn't matter instead of your message or the feeling you're trying to portray. But one day people's consciousness will open up to your expression, and they will listen. Keep practicing your craft, keep being mad scientist, keep chasing the things that make you feel alive. Don't be scared to be your true self, no matter how much people reject you. And I genuinely wish you the best of luck, future pioneer. I'm looking forward to what you have to show to the world.
(and if you need someone to talk to, share your art to, and have conversations about that, let me know. The thing that brings me the most pleasure as an artist is helping people in the same situation as me and I'd be so happy to share what I've learned over the years.)

Godspeed.

Ai in every aspect of making modern music in my opinion , Has opened the flood gate,s for every single person who plays a instrument and has there own hobby recording studio.Every single singer and musician who plays the pub and clubs i know and talked to . Will NOT even give this music Ai tech there time of day . In there ego world and there own Super Stardom .What could be better than them . These pub dreamer,s will never invest money into new music Ai tech , i have seen so many entertainer.s with home studios , and nearly every DAW and program,s in there computer,s are copy and out of date install,s , Can anyone tell me , if these pub artists are so amazing singers ect. They should have no problem wrighting and making there own music . . And finally one fine day . these cover artist,s can stop making money off other people,s hard graft . MAKING MUSIC IS FOR EVERYONE , NOW WITH AI AND A FEW QUID AND A LITTLE TIME . AND ITS TIME WITH AI THECH TO CREATE .ENJOY THE AI MUSIC FUTRE PEOPLE ITS HERE TO STAY . .

As a composer, I still to this day, hire musicians and the recording engineer/mixer. Sure, this old-school approach is far more expensive than the new, "drag and drop," way of writing music, and having software automatically mix and master music, but, the relationship I have with the people I've worked with, is something AI will not replace (not this composer).

Every composer has a choice on how they want to compose and record their music, and I respect that choice.

I choose to record with real musicians, in a real recording studio, with an engineer who has massive success throughout his years, and keep the relationship that, to me, is far better sounding than AI will ever be able to do.

I like using chat gpt to critique my songs thoroughly, idk why 😂 it gives me dopamine when it compliments my work quote on quote quite a captivating compelling piece

you say Ai can destroy art and then you go on a rant about the benefits of ai. Lame

This is prob the worst time to be alive , but I’m flowing with it
What other choice do I have but to kill myself 😢

sup guys,I wanna be musician and now i m in searching online daw. I found one,this is Amped Studio, is someone hear something about this online daw ? I need to write a music in a browser,what do you think ?

So instead of replacing hard and dangerous jobs we’re using AI to displace musicians, as if we haven’t had the short end of the stick already

We should understand ai will always be better at everything than us in a very short amount of time. Do we really want to kill creativity..? Profit profit profit though.

Ai is a machine that steal yuor skills , learnig from yuor copyrotgh data😅
Then , the machine knows how to do whats yuo do, faster, simple, and cheaper, now yuor skills are not unique, anyone could replicate it with just a prompt
What could go wrong?
