RE: Authenticity in Music, & Jeff Buckley for Three Tune Tuesday

"'I feel gross' a good friend says in response to me telling her that the music she sent me for Samhain blessings was generative AI."

Your friend's intent to send you blessings was pure, and sweet. And, if she liked the song, hey... there's nothing wrong with that. We like what we like. Sure, there's more 'soul' in music produced by humans rather than AI, as that music has lyrics infused with genuine human experience and emotions, which can be mimicked but never truly copied (in my humble opinion, of course). I don't think she should feel gross, or any other negative emotion, for liking the song, nor sending it.

I value music greatly, and it would tick me off, majorly, if AI-music became such a thing that hardworking musicians begin to suffer from its presence. That one guy who made millions farming AI content as something he created is frustrating and such a disgrace. 😠 But, a one-off, here-and-there song doesn't ruffle my feathers.

That Jeff Buckley, though — what raw emotion! 😯 ✌️

I do think it's hard not to feel icky when you're being scammed though. Even if somewhere in the fine print it tells you, sometimes that's hard to find and most people won't look. My friend and I connect to the human aspect of music so this did feel gross. And believe me when I say AI music is everywhere... It's definitely not just a one off.
