Oh…I get it now

    1. Sure, if you think soulless and formulaic music is “good”. That’s what AI spits out.

    2. I’ve heard people talk about AI music but I actually haven’t heard any or know of examples. Can anyone point to an example of this?

      A good way to figure out if something is a.i is voice effects. I know a lot of artists use them now but a.i uses it a lot more heavily to mask the inconsistencies in the singing.

      Do people not just google new artists or am I getting old?

      If I’m getting into someone’s music, most of the time I’ll at least look up where they are from and see what they look like.

      Sounds like more of us should be doing this?

      Joke’s on you, I listen to like 5 artists and they’re all verifiably human

    6. I swear, I really can’t grasp the rate at which normal people consume new music from artists they haven’t known before

      I only listen to completely new stuff once in a blue moon

      Everyone says to ditch artists who only have been releasing recently, but besides harming new artists, nothing stops older ones from using AI. Five Finger Death Punch now use AI for album covers, video clips and very likely music too. Feels like a betrayal to their fanbase…

    8. I haven’t heard any of it either. Mostly because I only listen to music from the 80’s and 90’s lol

    9. All’s you gotta do is go to concerts. If the music from the live musician is good, you know it’s not AI

      If people want real music, they need to pay real musicians. Music was already stifled for the past 25 years, after digital replaced physical media. AI can’t make beautiful mistakes the same way a person can. It’s too perfect.

      Mostly listen to post-hardcore and stuff like mathcore, nu metal, etc so like this isn’t a huge problem for me. Eventually I’d notice they’d not been touring with anyone or don’t have a true social media presence, or would just sorta notice shitty songwriting. Also check out post-hardcore if you just sorta like rock, there are a lot of really good bands that don’t scream/scream much.

      But I think someone’s been releasing AI slop under the name Death which has been bumming me out, it’s been filling up their artist profile on Youtube Music. Chuck Schuldiner is probably rolling in his grave over that.

    12. Jokes on them: I got too old to appreciate new music before the AI slop came into the picture, so I’m not falling for that shit lol

    13. Most of the music I listen to has animated MVs so Id be shocked if they AI generated the music just to spend so much time animating for it.

    14. Yall listen to new music?

      I’ve been listening to sea shanties, epic the musical, LotR fan songs, and folk music stuff

      I’ve been on a kick lately of watching people break down crazy music from old nes games or cartoons that I never realized how complicated the score was. They break it down and talk about all the cords or arrays of how all the music goes together or how something gets unexpectedly broken and it makes the music’s tone change from chaotic, happy, scary, or sad and as someone who has zero musical knowledge –

      I am hooked. The level of skill and knowledge to know how to put something together like that.

      Only for yesterday to be with a group of friends and have someone gleefully talk about how AI music hits for them and so they blasted it over their phone speaker and wouldn’t turn it off

      Instant headache.

      Okay, it’s repetitive. . . And?

      That’s what hits for you?

    16. Can’t we just enjoy things anymore? Why bother yourself wondering if it’s AI or not?

    17. Over time AI music will become the new norm because all the coffee shops and small businesses will use it as background music to avoid paying royalties to major music labels.

    18. Only AI music I listen to (and only because there is a significant human touch. Editing, writing the lyrics and musical base. Then having suno AI expand on and perform it) are The Bardic DM (makes tons of funny DnD related songs. And like I said he only has the AI perform it) and Badnik Division (makes Sonic the Hedgehog songs and again the AI is just expanding on the music and performing it)

      Lock your musical tastes in early and never listen to a song that released after you turned 15. It’s worked for me. Sorry gen alpha.

      Honestly as long as the prompter doesn’t try to call themselves an artist, the song actually sounds good and the prompter clearly states that it was made with AI Im fine with it

    21. I’ve heard a lot of genuinely good AI songs is the problem. Maybe it’s a little dystopian and depressing in it own way, but if it sounds good in my ears, i’ll listen.

      Yall dont shuffle the same liked song playlist every single day for like 6 years now?

    23. You guys don’t just keep listening to the same music from the 80s and 90s? 🙂

    24. Personally I only listen to older songs, or vocaloid (which is technically synthesized song, which could be interpreted as AI, in a sense), so I don’t really get ai slop songs, but whenever I used to, it all felt off, I disliked, ignored artist, and moved on (YT Music). Didn’t get any more suggestions.

      Regardless, yea, it’s a slippery slope we’re heading down to, and I hope that we can continue to be able to differentiate slop from non-slop.

    25. I think there’d be less of an issue if you weren’t able to profit off of it and it didn’t harm the environment on the scale that it did. There are straight up accounts on Spotify that are very clearly stealing from real artists and raking in money from it
