AI and the future of music

i would like to see AI applied to the task of restoring damaged old recordings, both audio and video. imagine the 1938 benny goodman allstar jazz concert at carnegie hall in full fidelity without that windstorm of crackly NOISE mixed in with the music, dominating it in places. 

I have been speaking to AI for the past month and I have been getting virtually instant answers to all my questions which includes audio gear. The answers have been right on. It can be a valuable tool for mankind or it could be used for debasement if it is run by evil doers.

For example, even Hinton BELIEVE that A. I. will be more "intelligent" than humans..

But isn't that the point of progress?

We humans do not have a divine right to anything.

Orwell, who was right about so many things, thought that it was inevitable that the human race (particularly the USA and Russia) would eventually destroy each other.

Right on cue, right before our eyes, we see this terrible prediction inching closer and closer ...

AI could do so many things for us. As @emrofsemanon said, it could help us restore priceless recordings and lost works of art.

AI might even provide us a system of world government that everyone could agree to abide by. That's assuming our masters are all willing to agree to its conditions - our masters who can't seem to agree on anything.

Has there even been one year in our entire history when there wasn't a war?

Or perhaps it might decide we are surplus to its requirements, although I doubt that day is near yet.

AI is not yet self reliant so we humans are not indispensable just yet.

Perhaps it will attempt to enslave is one day, but you could easily argue that we are already slaves and just don't know it. The true way to measure freedom is surely by a surplus of money and time, and the freedom to travel, things which hardly anyone has.

Instead we work and work and pay innumerable taxes seemingly all in order for the elites to accrue ever larger amounts of money. A situation particularly difficult for modern women who now have to balance 2 roles in the same time as previous generations did.

Could AI finally give us all greater freedom?

Or will it be used as a weapon to help one tribe to help eradicate enemy tribes?

Perhaps the best case going forwards for us will be to somehow merge with AI and thus achieve a strange kind of immortality?

Anyway, the AI cat is most definitely out of the bag and there's little chance of it going back now.

I do enjoy the odd podcast when I'm driving, particularly audio related ones, but I'll try and check out no 122.

Even if it's all inevitable, ignorance is rarely something to be proud of.

I dont believe in progress, i believe in moral improvement, I am not luddite, and all the point made for the usefulness of A.I. are beside the meaning of A. I. event appearing among us... Everyby like a usefull tool... Forget the tool aspect...And merging with A. I. is the most illusory act imaginable... We are already immortal...The machine which will live thousand or million of year had a life span like an insect living a day... There is no difference...

Listen..A.I. actually is just a large language model...

When we associate a phenomenon to a word and a word to a phenomenon ...This "prosaic" association , kill potentially  not only the poetical mode of consciousness in us  or at least hide it, and dress the phenomenon which is a mystery  as a known or recognized  object put in a jail... But what we dont realize at all with the illusion of being free in our speech without even feeling the need to liberate ourself from its prosaic chain  , what we dont realize is that we are in the same jail with the object... A.I. is the most sophisticated jail ever designed with no out  door... Calling A.I. more "intelligent" than a conscious silent and attentive living being , reveal all there is to say about our jail and ignorance status... A. I. is not a tool we will program, it will be our jailer and our programmer...

The most underscored important part of the Godel theorem is the numbering part...Not the impactful necessary construction of the self referent sentence which make  Godel the most important logician since Aristotle ...The numbering part refer to the "absolute" fact in the center of number theory : the prime distribution , which has nothing to do with logic , and is DISCOVERED not created by human beings or any beings... This prime distribution is the infinite static "shadow" of the only one consciousness there is... A. I. is not conscious nor intelligent... It is a ghost form, unhabited for now, of our own making... We go out of materialism now and we will understand soon ... We dont think WITH our brain but in spite of our brain, which do not create consciousness but tune in and filter it...Ask people with meditative experience or mystics ...

Many people are terrified by A. I. and not only people ignorant about its basic design... The reason is that humans can easily abdicated themselves when facing a new god... it is called idolatry...And this Moloch will ask us to sacrifice ourself to it... We must remember that no machine can live forever, we do, no machine can be conscious , because there is only one consciousness in which we are grounded as living being...The prime number distribution is the shadow of this grounding , at the foundation of mathematic...A machine cannot be grounded in an infinite field of consciousness.. We must be terrified by ourself, not by the machine, and we are terrified because of our own ignorance about who we are... I dont think Christ or Buddha will be terrified by A.I. at all... And i dont think they will treat it differently than a hammer or a speaking book containing all books and able to answer questions..

Anyway nothing scare me...Save human stupidity ready to abdicate his own consciousness... To corporate power and to A. I. ...

The future of music with AI is a topic that has been generating significant interest and speculation in recent years. As artificial intelligence continues to advance and permeate various industries, it is also making its mark on the music industry. AI has the potential to revolutionize the way music is created, produced, distributed, and consumed. It offers new possibilities for musicians, composers, producers, and listeners alike.

One of the most significant impacts of AI on music is in the realm of composition and creation. AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of musical data, including existing compositions, genres, and styles, to generate new pieces of music. These algorithms can learn patterns and structures from existing music and use that knowledge to create original compositions. This opens up a world of possibilities for musicians who can collaborate with AI systems to explore new musical ideas and push the boundaries of creativity.

AI-powered composition tools can assist musicians in generating melodies, harmonies, and even entire arrangements. These tools can provide suggestions based on the desired style or genre, helping artists overcome creative blocks or find inspiration. Additionally, AI algorithms can analyze a musician's existing body of work to identify their unique style and assist in creating music that aligns with their artistic vision.

Another area where AI is making an impact is in the production process. AI-powered tools can automate various aspects of music production, such as mixing and mastering. These tools can analyze audio tracks and apply appropriate effects, equalization, and compression techniques to achieve a professional sound. This not only saves time but also allows musicians to focus more on the creative aspects of their work.

AI can also be used to enhance live performances by providing real-time accompaniment or improvisation based on the input from performers. This opens up new possibilities for interactive performances where musicians can collaborate with AI systems on stage.

In addition to composition and production, AI is also transforming the way music is distributed and consumed. Streaming platforms and recommendation systems are leveraging AI algorithms to personalize music recommendations based on individual preferences and listening habits. These algorithms analyze vast amounts of data, including user behavior, social media activity, and music metadata, to deliver personalized playlists and recommendations. This not only helps listeners discover new music but also provides artists with a broader audience reach.

Furthermore, AI can be used to enhance the listening experience by creating immersive and interactive environments. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies combined with AI algorithms can create personalized audiovisual experiences that respond to the listener's movements and preferences. This blurs the line between traditional passive listening and active participation in the music itself.

While the future of music with AI holds immense potential, it also raises some concerns and challenges. One of the primary concerns is the potential loss of human creativity and originality in music. Critics argue that relying too heavily on AI-generated compositions may lead to a homogenization of music styles and a lack of diversity. However, proponents argue that AI can be seen as a tool that enhances human creativity rather than replacing it entirely.

Another challenge is ensuring ethical use of AI in music creation. Issues such as copyright infringement and plagiarism arise when AI algorithms generate compositions that closely resemble existing copyrighted works. Striking a balance between using AI as a source of inspiration while respecting intellectual property rights is crucial.

In conclusion, the future of music with AI is promising and transformative. From composition and production to distribution and consumption, AI has the potential to revolutionize every aspect of the music industry. While there are challenges to address, such as maintaining human creativity and ensuring ethical use, the integration of AI in music opens up new possibilities for artists, producers, and listeners alike.
