Like many, I'm sure, I have large misgivings about AI generally, and also as it might be applied to music. (Leaving aside the pre-programmed patterns, sequences, styles, musical instrument emulations, etc, that have been available on keyboards and computer music programs for many years, and could be regarded as precursors of developments in AI music which are happening now.)
The good aspects of AI use in music I'd argue are: cleaning up or eliminating unwanted non-musical sounds; revealing what was previously hidden in the music; or developing ideas in the music that perhaps the original artist didn't realise for whatever reason. (But I acknowledge that some will probably think the latter is a more suspect use of AI.)
Anyway, I love these three examples of the use of AI in music.
A development of a John Lennon song that was originally just his voice and piano on cassette:
(Obviously, 'Paul McCartney' singing in the bridge is AI)
And, for me, two wonderfully developed Beach Boys tracks by Dae Lims:
The great Jerome Kern standard:
And a combination of two Burt Bacharach songs:
Whether or not you like these specific examples, do you object to the use of AI in music on principle? (If so, maybe you've refused to listen to these examples anyway! 😀)
