I've been struggling with this issue, as I hear a song and I like it, I immediately think, "is this even real" which takes all the enjoyment out of it.
I was served a Bob Moses song and it ran on an Insta ad saying, "it's the song that's new, but feels like it's been here forever" which felt very AI. Thankfully, nope. Bob Moses is a very real dude.
Enter Kid Icarus "Beautiful World"
KI is a band with Rapid releases that have similar structure including Heavy-handed synth and cliche lyrics. I may very well be wrong about this band, but I'm interested in how people think about this very issue. If you love the music, does it matter? I feel like without a soul behind it, I am pushed into that "this is meaningless."
As more AI music is pushed, are we going to put more and more stock into live performances or will it all blend together in a "music is music, it doesn't matter" form.
I think we're less than a year from that critical time. Maybe it's come and gone and I'm daft. Maybe in the end, none of this will matter.
Should I be interested in the blue pill?
