Been thinking today…
Where the hell is music going with all this AI stuff?
I’m not here to hate. AI can be useful, no doubt. But using it as a tool is one thing, letting it do the whole job for you is another.
Some producers are fully riding the AI wave. Vocals, melodies, even whole tracks. But here’s the catch: platforms like YouTube are already working on ways to detect that. And once your track gets flagged as AI generated? Say goodbye to monetisation. No copyright. No ownership. Just a label that says “this ain’t yours.”
And let’s talk about sample packs.
Can we actually trust what’s in them anymore?
How many of those loops are AI made? Are companies even telling us? Because if they’re not, you could be dropping tunes that won’t stand up later.
I’m not pointing fingers. Everyone can do what they want.
But I’ll keep making music the way I always have, with feeling, chaos, imperfection. The real stuff.
To be honest, I’m kinda glad AI is blowing up.
It makes the difference more obvious.
The more clean, robotic music floods the scene, the easier it is to spot something that’s got soul.
So yeah, keep feeding the machine.
I’ll stay messy and human.
Have a solid week.
