AI and the future state of music creation

[michaelhanson]

I’ve been looking for ways to us AI to assist me in original song creation.  How to use it as a tool. 
 

I’ve always struggled with lyrics.  So lately, I’ve been writing lyrics and then running them through Chat and asking it to improve my lyrics or make suggestion.  Most of what I get doesn’t fit where I want to go, but it sometimes spits out a line or an idea that I take and build upon.  I’m using it like a cowriter to bounce idea off and get a reaction.  This has greatly spread up lyrics for me.

Very good .

Me too.   I will also have a song I want to create, even have it finished, then try to get AI to create a song similar to mine.  What I find is that AI gives me ideas on how to improve song forms and even arrangements.   The songs generated from AI sound so formulaic to me, but once in a while there will be an idea to pull from.

The future will have those who use AI and those who don't.

It might end up more like "The future will have those who are used by AI and....that's it."

I asked AI to make Yoko Ono sound good but it replied that it doesn't perform miracles. 😁
