It took me a while to write this. I could have done it with ChatGPT in 3 seconds and it would have given you some acceptable “content.”

I recently saw a post on LinkedIn: a record company executive gleefully explaining that all the producers at his label would be incorporating Suno AI into future productions. It made me fu***ng sick.

Everywhere I look, record labels and artists are trying to justify the use of AI in music as the heralding of a new era, a great leveller. The technology that will supposedly bridge the gap between those who have talent and put in the work and those who have not.

The truth is, human beings want to take the quickest way to the perceived destination. Record companies want to make as much money as possible in the shortest possible time, eliminating the costly human element. But art is an endeavour of passion, and it’s not for everyone. It’s not supposed to be easy. It’s supposed to take years of honing your craft—playing the sh*tty unpaid gigs, learning what works for you and what doesn’t.

For the lucky few, it becomes a career. And for some, they reinvest in themselves and their art, constantly learning, struggling, striving, and growing.

It shouldn’t be as easy as typing a prompt that says “write me a hit.” That begs the question: what is a hit? Is it just an algorithmic process?

AI can take data from millions of “hits” and make an approximation of a great song. It may even fool many. But the truth is, hit songs—the songs that touch your soul—come from lived experience. Something uniquely human. A vibration under the surface that only we can understand: joy, pain, loss, movement, sadness, lust, love.

No AI can ever be Amy Winehouse. No machine can ever recreate the pain of John Lennon’s voice on Mother. There’s a deep lived sadness that creeps into the very fibre of his being, the kind that makes the hairs on your neck stand up. The kind that cracks open your dormant soul and wakes you up to who you really are. Any producer, artist, or label who uses or promotes AI music as a “good thing” cannot call themselves an artist. AI is anti-art, anti-human, and anti-life... CONTINUED IN THE COMMENTS ⬇️
