Photography didn’t stop anyone from painting.

People, AI isn’t going to make any creative process less possible. It adds new stuff. Some of it’s stupid. Most stuff is. But this one idiot grifter isn’t about to ban guitars or whatever, as he makes mouth noises in the shape of “give me one billion dollars.” Just do your thing.

But if you want to fake a Liverpool accent and sound just like John Lennon, neural networks can probably do that.

And if you have two distant genres and mind and want to hear their exact midpoint, neural networks can probably do that.

And if you want notes that imply “Never Gonna Give You Up,” but won’t get your Youtube video flagged for a brief gag, well, neural networks can probably do that.

This will of course be used to make assholes rich. Most stuff is. But the tech is not the problem, here. We taught computers to make music and they’re alarmingly flexible about it. That’s inherently cool. You can ignore the dipshits who insist it means human beings have nothing left to say.
