If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it?


A few questions which I'm curious about. If you have a take on this, please share!

Here's the question:

A.I. is increasingly playing a role in music creation. Not just assisting composers, but generating music.

If you found an A.I. generated song to be enjoyable, interesting, etc. would you have any objection to supporting it by listening and paying for the service which provides it?

If more and more music was like this, and there were fewer and fewer jobs for musicians, would that bother you? -- I'm thinking here about the aesthetics of the issue, not the economics or justice of it. 

I'm trying to understand if people just want to have a certain set of sensations from music and they don't care if there are human beings creating it -- or if it's important for you to know that what you're experiencing from music (or art) is coming from human beings.

Thank you for thinking about this.

A good song would still be enjoyable to listen to no matter who made it. I don't see   a reason to hate on it just because it's AI generated.

It's up to you. If you like an AI generated song... fine. I wouldn't try to censor it.  If the real artist can do better then do it and I'll listen to that instead.

 

Kraftwerk... 'we are the robots'    They (robot legs dancing only) were the featured act at the music awards back in the 80's. Was very popular and interesting to listen to.

Singers made themselves sound like robots and now robots are sounding like singers.
