Adobe Is Testing a New AI Tool That Can Create Music From Text Prompts
gizmodo.com: The era of bad robot music is upon us. Adobe is working on a new AI tool that will let anyone be a music producer—no instrument or editing experience required.

Thanks! I hate it. Every day AI is worming its way into more avenues of life, trying to prove itself as a tool we can’t do without, which is absolutely false. Sure, AI might be convenient, and it might make some tasks go a bit faster, but it’s a lousy substitute for the real thing. It does active harm both to the industries it seeks to replace and to the consumers taking advantage of them. First of all, over reliance on AI causes us to lower our standards, become lazy, or avoid learning the actual way to do things, not to mention how bad AI is at fact-checking. But more obviously, by allowing AI to take over art, writing, and music, we are devaluing creatives and taking away jobs from people who can actually create higher quality work. The last thing I want to see in society is for us to resign ourselves to simpler AI-created work and phase out the much deeper and more complex capabilities of actual artists.
This is so tragically funny that its not even worth the headspace that I gave it honestly. I think that AI can be important in some parts of the world and some concentrations are being brought to the next level with the help of AI but music does not need this. People are so creative and are capable of such beautiful things and I think since chatGPT has become so popularized and how AI has been developed into so many parts of our lives people have forgotten that. I think that honestly people need to learn how to explore different areas without needing the help of AI but using their own knowledge and common sense to create something that they like and not something that AI thinks we like because of the algorithm or the prompt we give it. The usage of AI should honestly be limited and I do not know how that would be possible but it should somehow.
This is just purely a no thank you. I find no use for this. We have composers for a reason and they deserve to be paid for the work that they do and the brilliance that they provide. I highly doubt that an AI tol would be able to develop the sophisticated and incredibly complicated melodic and harmonic rhythms that these composers come up with. I also find it highly unlikely that the AI tool would be able to know what something “sounds” like to the human ear so it would not be able to produce more experimental pieces that might not sound traditionally pretty to the ear but serve a greater purpose and that their message is enhanced by the clashing of notes and competing melodies and harmonies that might not always fit together nicely. Overall, I really do not understand the use for this technology and I think it is dumb.
No, no, no I am not interested in the slightest. AI made shitty art by stealing people’s hard work, they don’t need to steal people’s music too. Before I even read the article I knew right away that I would hate it and yep, I hate it even more.This is probably going to take off too just like the art but hopefully with how active music copyright laws are, these won’t last as long. This might be the first time that I am actually appreciative of how strict music copyright laws are. I also think it will be much easier to notice in the music because people can hear when songs sound similar a lot easier than when art looks similar. I’m hopeful for the downfall of this “tool”. It's a nuisance and in my opinion one of the worst things I have ever had to pay witness to.
