This is the crap that commercial radio plays, an insight into what happened to *real*
music. Never will this be heard on my station.
It was Artisan Radio who correctly labeled AI as a 'Great Hoax' and Mark's 'Auto-Tune' link perfectly makes the case. This automatically self-composing self-arranging self composing computer technology has been around since at least the 1990s when the Amiga Computer had a software called 'Super Jam' which was great at using MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) to generate tunes in any style the user clicked (Rock, Pop, Classical, etc). We used it to produce royalty free music for video programs. The main thing that was artificial about it was the musical instrument sounds which were synthetic. 'Super Jam' was purchased by Microsoft.
Another type of music arose in this category known now as 'Christian Rock' which lends itself perfectly because the lyrics are always based on recycled platitudes and sermons that have been repeated for centuries.
@carl-blare Notice if you listened to the whole video that he says the listeners don't know or care about all the stuff they listen to is artificially generated. No musicians or real instruments.
I know, and it sounds like the junk it is. The Humanity is gone. "Real" music is gone from the mainstream. The fact that generation X and younger(millennials) don't know or care is disgustingly sad. Hearing pop music is like listening to a chainsaw!
Tales of True Artificiality
Along with self-generating AI music is the companion MIDI field of the 'sequencer', a blank music page on a music screen filled in by a living human-being telling it what to do, including choice of instrumentation. Super Jam's family of softwares included 'Bars and Pipes', I often used 'Bars and Pipes' to compose scores to accompany video programs.
One day I happened to play an example of my music for a Ph.D. Theology professor whose mission was to demonstrate his superior intellect by playing for me a little track "In the Style of Bach" which he claimed to have written.
I immediately knew that his lie was that the piece did not come anywhere near Bach and was a cheap rip-off from a toy AI program called 'Band in a Box'. It was a case of a human pretending to be as smart as low-priced AI software.
