Fair enough, but I think we are not far from the point where the average music consumer won't be able to tell the difference between a digital music artifact having been produced through a human performance or generated by AI.

The year that music died. Sweet. 

At least we have the billions of songs pre-2025 to fall back on.

I don't know, my gripe is more with the whole there's no good music anymore bullshit than with anything AI probably. There is more kick ass real bands out there making music and getting heard than basically anytime in history. I see hundreds every day.

Obviously, AI can't replicate a live performance witnessed live.  So live music is alive and well, and maybe the artificiality of AI generated recorded music will see a golden age of live music.  A greater appreciation for the "performance" part of "performance art."  Digital artifacts generated by humans and AI will eventually be largely indistinguishable.  So let go of the idea that digital musical artifacts are going to amount to anything other than training data for the next iteration of AI models, and embrace what AI can't replicate -- that magic that can happen when a good group of musicians are all on their game and feeding energy back and forth with a captive and engaged audience.

AI assistance in the creative process is a line in the sand for me. 

I know in the end it will be almost unprovable, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some strict "no AI" movement to grow out of this groundbreaking technological change.  Some sort of pact from artist to listener.

Being great live performers was already a personal prerequisite for really getting into an artist/band, so I guess that helps.

How long until we are seeing live bands requested to cover AI hits?  Essentially becoming AI cover bands.

Soon enough.  I mean, there is already a billboard charting AI artist, it’s just not the type of music cover bands are typically playing.

Created by Mississippi-based poet and songwriter Telisha “Nikki” Jones, Xania Monet (pronounced “zuh-Nī-ah,” rhyming with Shania) sings Jones’s lyrics set to R&B music with the help of Suno, an AI music-generating platform.

I don't know why people have a problem here. She is generating hundreds maybe thousands of songs, then probably doing a bunch of post production and/or revision on it. That's a lot of work, but she will never perform live and it'll never sound like what someone who can actually sing can put out.

Did you actually watch the video? She enters a few prompts on her laptop and the music spits out. Don’t think she’s doing much post production work, if any.
