There’s a neighbor in the neighborhood who plays music every day. He repeats a series of songs from the same artist over and over again. It’s a bachata artist. But it’s also an artist who doesn’t exist. He wasn’t born, doesn’t eat meat or vegetables, not even junk food.
He was created through codes designed to imitate the human voice. It’s AI. I think I once talked about this here, although honestly I don’t remember. If that’s the case, this time I’ll draw a different conclusion.
The thing is, with each passing day, more and more people in my country let themselves be carried away by the harmony composed by AI. People might identify with some of the lyrics, and that’s why playing that kind of music gives them so much pleasure.
The use of catchy rhythms like bachata and salsa also makes people consume more and more of this kind of music, because sometimes the body moves on its own, and once you become aware of it, you can’t get that melody out of your head.
So I think… maybe it’s not even that bad that people consume music made by AI. Everyone has, and will have, their own tastes. I just hope that in the future this doesn’t become a reason for discrimination among young people and teenagers. Yes, because differences tend to fuel the phenomenon of exclusion.
If you don’t like the same things we do, then we consider you the biggest piece of crap on the planet, so: go kill yourself!
Anyway, back to the topic, I think we shouldn’t fight against music made with AI. Later on it will be much harder to identify its cybernetic origin. Artists will be forced to use it in their creations, otherwise they’ll be completely displaced. But it could also be that people get bored of the machine’s perfect patterns and choose a freer mix, full of mistakes everywhere.
In any case, my neighbor, do whatever you want with what you listen to, but remember to respect other people’s sleeping hours, or simply use headphones.
