ai music. very polarizing. probably strong generational divides.

• ghostsingers/ghostrappers are a thing (by 2024)

• we get a lot of new music from a lot of artists without the artists' involvement (or knowledge in a lot of cases). artists get screwed.

• major polarization. a lot of artists/fans argue about what real music is, a.i. doesn't have a soul etc.

• some artists initially embrace it. other artists pull their music from streaming platforms in protest (the ones who can anyway)

• labels license music to tech companies to train ai's to generate music with, or develop their own in house ai. either way, streaming platforms develop their own without labels due to label demands and licensing agreements

• lots of litigation

• streaming platforms offer music generated on the fly and tailored to your exact tastes (and current mood etc).

• the dsp market probably looks different than spotify vs apple music by this point. an ai-first platform that doesn't exist today could have spotify level marketshare in 3-5 years.

• live human/ai hybrid acts become a thing. live music w/ real people also gets a boost. also small gatherings of people creating music together (with/without ai-assisted instruments/tools) idk.

• gen alpha and a lot of casual listeners dgaf who/what made the music they're listening to

• people can eventually create their own virtual artists, just choose a few options and tap a few buttons. the artists have their own recognizable style, a back story, an image, etc. some people get really into this, kinda like gaming, exploring and interacting with the generated artists' worlds.

• there's a niche of people who almost exclusively listen to artists created and shared by others and arent really interested in human artists. the most popular ones monetize, make deals with streaming platforms, etc. s*** looks weird as hell.

none of this is happening in a vacuum ofc — ai becomes the biggest political issue, especially since it's affecting middle class skilled and highly paid jobs previously thought safe from automation. the political and legislative responses are too unpredictable so anything could happen.

tldr,,, scary dystopian ai music future

i think you have a very dark view of how AI will play out, so I'm gonna give you a different perspective to even things out.

Ai will be banned by law because of the strength of its deception/ it being considered by law not a form of parody and not transformative enough.

OR

• ai will be heavily monitored through anti-AI programs built into every browser/website. my little conspiracy is that YouTube and twitter has already started preparing us for this with its fact-check box that pops up under a tweet or video. the idea is that any video or image on these sites will have a box that tells you that its ai, even possibly giving you a source of where the fake image/video came from and what bot created it.

• ai music will be a trend genre, that will at most get 1 or 2 decently big original artist, and die out like any other super gimmicky art.

ai using the likeness of an established artist, author, voice actor etc. will be instantly removed/ given full custody by the law to whoever they are copying.

artists/labels will be notified very early and are opted into either taking the song completely down to remove any profit ( some do so to record and remake the song themselves), or they decide to keep the ai song up racking in passive income from ai generated things with there likeness. ( most likely causing people to stop using ai altogether outside of parody/internet memes)

even though ai will have an infinite library of human knowledge to pull from, because the lack of emotion and understanding of people, ai music will be so devoid of value that it would need drastic touch ups by people, to the point that it would be no reason to use it really outside of having a different frame of reference and pulling some ideas from the auto generations.

overall a majority of people will adjust to the ai "feel" rather quickly anyway, and be able to tell from the soullessness of a product that ai created it. i can already hear music reactors call out parts of songs where the "ai chords and synths come in" or albums being worse because of ai lyrics.

in general ai automation could be a super good thing, shifting western cultures to be more artistic akin to Japanese culture where a random block has a combination of 8 actvites to do, the most beautiful artwork all around the walls and as ads, random tiny restaurants with amazing food. i think many places will shift towards having actually inspired building structure/ decor.

Here’s mine: More and more black people start to make a shift towards creating rock music. Black people move the needle culturally, everyone else follows, and rap slowly loses it’s rank as the #1 genre in the world.
