Don't Need AI (Page 2 of 2)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz8rpqAQgio  try  now  Phill     

No  Phill  I  wrote  the  whole  chorus   then  put  it  into  the AI  which  then   suggested  a  load  of  lyrics  which  I  then sorted  through  and edited   into  verses   which  I  felt  appropriate   I  then put    a  chord  progression together .I  must  admit  I  hadnt  noticed the   similaritys you  mentioned  . Its  interesting  how  a  different  pair  of  ears  pick s  up  on different  things .
When I  created  this  song I  was  reluctant   to  play  it  live  but  the  response  has   been positive  so  I  will include  it  in the  set  for  a  while .     

Good on you Grah for showing us how AI can make a song lyric work. The trouble with AI for me is though it would improve my songwriting for sure it would also take away the  reason I dabble in music and take away any satisfaction of creating something that represents me. The thing I think that ruins much of modern recordings is the way the production quantization on them is removing all the natural human nuances that my ears love. Everything tends to sound sanitized or mechanical to me. Like Phill I find modern music tends to sound the same. It all sounds so homogenized I think somewhere in recent times innovativeness like the Beatles had has disappeared. Maybe the powerful music moguls have manage to destroy that through wanting to lower the cost of recording. I suppose with modern streaming and the lack of people buying vinyl recordings there is not the financial return that there use to be for musicians and recording companies. I suppose Spotify and the like do extremely well financially out of it not the artists. I think its something like 80% of people access their music through streaming platforms making the platform rich not the artists. I have been told by many being a talented musician/producer is not the same as being good at music business. To me when I'm out and about in various shops and food and drink outlets hearing the music they play it all sounds formulaic and homogenized with this modern trend making it hard for me to hear any difference from one song to another. Who was it who said the road to musical hell is paved with Gold???? My other question would be in music who is making gold and who is been sold down the plug hole.??? The thing I think that makes the human mind better than AI at times is our minds can go of in different unexpected tangents making our creativity able to produce more punch than AI. I heard a muscian being interviewed a while back saying at gigs, they sometimes make more money on their merch embroidered hats and tea shirts than their music.     

Good one Piri. I find it annoying when I see a famous band touring putting on concerts that people go to see because of the bands name that don't have the original key members that made them famous in it anymore. If there is a few changes of personal that is ok but not when going to what should be called a cover band. I will attach a short 8 minute thing of  YouTube  about bands in recent years that I think most Chordians will find interesting something I didn't realised until I watched it very informative.  BTW in another video this man put out I learnt about a word used by recording artists called "interpolation" which was a new word to me.

This guy has a video with a number of songs with similar chord progressions, swapping the words to each other: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCr_RbeLUDg

Another "I stumbled upon this in YouTube" moment ...

EDIT

I saw something which echoed this sentiment on Facebook which was apparently a quote (but I'm para-phrasing here) that said something like: I was looking forward to AI doing all the mundane things like cleaning the house and doing the dishes, so I had more time to work on creative projects, instead of AI replacing my creative projects, leaving me more time to clean the house and do the dishes. - I don't have the words right, but hope it underlines the sentiment of the author!

Cheers

Sounds like a great example of how AI doesn't always need to replace creativity. Sometimes the human touch, emotion, and personal performance are what make a song special. AI can be a useful tool, but it can't really recreate the feeling behind a live performance.     

welp gonna throw my 2 cents in on this one. personally, AI scares the crap out of me. that being said, me not having the access, talent or money to hire a band to perform any song i ever wrote. With AI and the help of a friend here at chordie i was able to hear what something i wrote sounded like if performed by a real band. this my opinion on AI so it dont mean much.  In the end AI will make it way harder than it already is for someone like me to ever get a song heard by anyone other than friends and family or drunks at open mic night.     

lol that's a fact the reasons you state are the only reason i keep doing it and the biggest reason is i enjoy doing it

wow pete that my friend is top shelf prose right there. the truth

Thank you, Phill and Mojo you guys are making my day. When I think of Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin" it is timeless. Its message resonates just as powerfully today as it did in 1964. Maybe he could have written a song called "Word Meanings Are A Changin".

Memories Of When Hard Drive Had A Different Meaning

Once they spun like wheels on highways wide,
A hard drive packed with tales of joy and pride.
We'd burn some rubber, seek adventure's call.
Mostly on long summers before winters call made life stall,
With CDs or Tapes crackling and laughter shared by all.

Now they sit idle, gathering digital dust,
Just boxes of bytes in unyielding rust.
No longer our travel companions for cheer,
Instead, a repository in memory oh my, of a companion that has passed on from here.

Remember the tunes that made our hearts race?
Now it’s just folders in sterile blank space.
Where did the fun go?   When set on "Random Play" the thrill of surprise.
Gone are the road trips listening to CD or Tape Albums beneath open skies.

We traded our music on journeys for laughter and friendly digs,
Now we pack memories in binary gigs.
Oh, how times have flipped words that are heard.
When a hard drive was a challenging journey and nothing more.
