Can AI Truly Compose Original Music?
Growing up, I listened to a whole lot of genre of music sang by different musicians with their different singing styles and trust me, there is always this special feelings one get from each music most especially the ones you love probably because of the love I have for the musicians or probably because of the originality feeling those music gives to we the listeners.
Today, it can not be denied that we are living in the era of Artificial intelligence where it is making things so easy for every one of us. Recently it is looking like our world is dominating with the use case of artificial intelligence and the truth is it can not be denied. But in other aspect of life, it is evident that AI can also transform our world but it also comes with its own disadvantages. We are beginning to have more use case of AI even in the music industry.
Recently, it has been proven that AI is generating songs by writing lyrics. The big question in the heart of men now is can AI truly compose original music. The truth is we can not deny the fact that AI is looking likely to be able to compose music. In fact, I discovered there are some applications like Amper and even Google Magnets that can now even produce songs. Take for example, with the help of AI, it can help to produce beats that fit into the style of any musician's songs.
But the question now is will it not be a strong issue in the future to see that more songs that will be produced will be AI and hope the music industry will not lose it's sense of originality. What do I mean by that, growing up like I said, I was familiar with songs that was birthed from different emotional connections like love, personal experiences, poverty and even celebrations. For me many years ago, the songs I listen to are not merely because of to be for entertainment purposes, it is to settle problems. There were even songs that helps to solve military and political oppressions.
So my big question is, can AI be able to play that role of originality as many decades again. I am not just talking about been able to create beats, create lyrics and those melodies stuff. All these things are amazing and I love the fact that AI is creating this to actually make things more faster and easier for the music industry. But the big question still lies, can AI still be able to create that originality feelings I have discussed about earlier.
Is it still possible or are we actually going to witness another loss in the music industry many years to come. Well, obviously time will definitely tell but for now, I don't see AI creating that originality feelings and I don't even want AI to replace that Originality feelings many years to come. In fact, I will say that Originality feelings is what preserved the uniqueness and beauty of the music world. It should not be replaced by one machine.
AI is actually causing us to lose artistic values. But I think there is somethings AI cannot completely replace. Even in its ability to generate lyrics and instrumentals, it does not have an original story to tell, and their might never be an emotion to share. It can only imitate the emotions of other artists, and can only share in the story of other. It can never be original.
