Another AX7's singer Matt Shadows take on using AI as an incredible tool for musicians:

If fans don’t like the “eccentric” direction Avenged Sevenfold has taken with their new record “Life Is but a Dream…” he explained, they could use the band’s early records “Waking the Fallen” and “City of Evil” as training data for an AI so that they can create their own Avenged Sevenfold tracks using AI. “I would love to give up my voice to where people can create their own versions of our songs or whatever they feel would be cool.” “I'm okay with somebody using an AI-generated voice as long as you could see that some jerk made that—and that's where I think the authentication [on blockchain] comes in.”

Interesting as well:

"AI, he said, can streamline that process: “Give me 20 versions of this chord change, or I want to hear a different top line there. You take a little thing that interests you and you go somewhere with it.”

“That's not really AI writing a song for you,” he added. “It's kind of giving you this kind of jumping off point.”"

In this case, however, I am rather conservatively opposed. I'm a fan of AI and agree that it's an excellent tool that tends to help people be more efficient by freeing them from that "uncreative" boring mental activity. But for music and art in general, I rather can't imagine much use for it. Sure, radios and streaming platforms will be full of AI songs, which will help cheapen their production even more, as they will be free of royalties to the artists (although Electro-pop artist Grimes sees it differently, as written in the article :-)), but they will only create more pop noise in the audiovisual space, but we will go to real concerts of live artists even more...

I'm wondering what the reaction would be to similar words from a famous writer: "...I'll ask AI: "Give me 5 versions of how to resolve this plot, or edit the opening chapter to make it more lively...". It's not that the AI is writing the book for you, it's a kind of jumping off point..."
