Laut Billboard kommen zunehmend KI-gestützte „Künstler“ in die Charts

„Billboard says a wave of AI-created music has debuted on its charts over the past month—one “singer” even scored a record deal—as some of these fake personas rack up millions of streams, a stark new trend that has raised some alarms in the music industry.

Over the past four weeks, a new AI creation has debuted on a Billboard chart in each week, Billboard reported, including the AI country music product Breaking Rust, that debuted the songs “Livin’ On Borrowed Time” and “Walk My Walk” on the country song sales chart this week.

The Christian AI-generated Juno Skye debuted on Billboard’s emerging artists chart last week, while the AI act Enlly Blue’s song “Through My Soul” hit the rock sales song chart earlier this month, Billboard reported.

The outlet said it cross-checked the songs with Deezer, a platform that offers an AI-detection tool, to verify whether the songs were artificially generated.“

The charts have always been filled with the most vacuous, soulless, and generic music in the first place, so this makes sense. 

Ironically, it will bring back live music since the unique selling proposition will be real humans performing from soul to soul.

Pretty sure that robots, AI and similar are supposed to take over the mundane bullshit of life so we, human beings, can concentrate on art and music and progress. Of course, as soon as the fucking business men get involved it’s all „blah blah economy blah blah, you’re fired, now enjoy your similar-to-copyrighted-material-but-technically-distinct song, you fucking prole.

This is why I go to concerts by bands who allow their fans to record audio of their shows. (To be clear, these are artists actually playing instruments and singing songs they wrote.) I record my audio, put it on my phone, laptop, cd, or iPod and listen to that instead of the radio. 

Honestly, good.

Entertainers have been making “too much” money. It’s time they get knocked down a bit.

I’d also like to see robotic athletes next…

Tennis robot should be entertaining (run, jump, slide, slice, serves electronically governed to be between 90-120 mph, tweaked over time to keep the game “fair”.)

Robot football would be the ultimate test…
Need guardrails for tackling rules: robot may only block, not actually tackle. Robot must be padded for human safety…

Can we use blockchain to track AI created content and the queries used to generate it? This was the process is transparent?

I’ve been disturbed for several weeks over the fact that I recently found out one of my top songs from this quarter of the year is AI. Kind of just went with it because I’m not about to drop a good song for being slop, but it’s really made me wonder on the nature of art and how much artist intention vs. recipient matters with different types of art, say, music or visual or written. Out of these, written art drags behind the most, because writing is inherently a conversation and requires thought and understanding and planning behind it, which AI lacks – but for music and visual art, much of that exists entirely inside the recipient’s brain, and taking away artist intention… doesn’t destroy the meaning that is created internally.

As per the song I’ve liked, I always did think it’s cringeworthily generic, but that didn’t stop it from hitting right. Kind of explained that part when I found out. Now just waiting for the AI-synthetised recreational drugs next, I guess.

I’ve been using an AI musical generator for about a month and honestly it’s changed the way I listen to music.

I’m an amateur musician at best, but have always loved playing and listening to new and innovative music. I cannot stand pop and commercial music and now after having used it profusely I recognize that most music is actually AI and it isn’t even on the level that we have access now.

I now value true artistry and live music much more, and think recorded music specially from artists that are not even shown playing is AI and not great ones at that.

Using these tools I’ve now made all the songs that I like, blending styles and themes/lyrics about the things that I like and care about and have come up with music that I much prefer to most commercial things.

When we really think about it, it isn’t that different to synth music, or electronic, just a new tool and if that allows it for the friggin capitalist bullshit of publishers and platforms controlling the music that is popular to create false idols then I’m here for it.

The only „problem“ really is that musicians will struggle more to make a living off of streaming music, but let’s face it, it was already borderline impossible and they had to compromise their artistic vision and integrity just to become popular and sell.

I think love music from actually talented musicians will come to a much higher demand and appreciation as pop music will be completely replicable and in a more personalized and honestly better musical structure than what these companies try to get people to listen to.

I think AI in music is the best proof that people are unable to distinct between whats real and whats AI. Even though most people think different. Following years are gonna be interesting, people are gonna call out real artists for using AI and other people are gonna defend AI saying that they are real.

Companies will push AI art slop because it’s cheap, and they’d rather pay advertisers than artists.

Maybe some of it gets popular, maybe it stays limited. It’s hard to say, because it’s highly dependent on the listener. And pop music has always tried to have mass appeal over emotional depth. Great songs have both, good songs will get forgotten, bad songs forgotten quicker.

I would like to believe that I would know if I was listening to real artist vs a machine. But I’m only human (pun intended)

Country and Christian AI music slop is being lapped-up by its audience?? Color me surprised.

Slapping a prompt together is like asking a weather app for a forecast and then claiming you’re a meteorologist. While there is something to be said about putting a prompt together to get your desired result before you run out of tokens, that does not make you an artist.

It is also not copyrightable since it is was created using stolen *actually copyrighted works.* I can’t wait to see that particular hammer land.
