"AI sounds better than human music."
You heard his before, right? AI supporters making fun of genuine musicians by claiming AI already sounds better than what people are doing after years of hard practice, sweat and tears. And you know what? I think they're right.
It OBVIOUSLY sounds better, because AI is imitating the peak of human musicians. It is technology created to mimic the best of the best, or at least music that is widely accepted as "good". And I agree, it is working well.
But that is not what music is about.
Music can only be created from the soul. When music is created it is injected with all these years of practice, all the hardships and human experiences of the musician. "Soul" shows up in how pianists touch the keys and what microphone they chose. It shows up in the room they're recording in. "Soul" is in inaudible part of music. And before you make fun of this: no, this isn't philosophical. It's tangible.
"Soul" is the dialogue around the music you have with other people or the artist themself. When you learn that a piece was recorded at 3am while the rest of the world was sleeping. "Soul" is what you can find in interviews, by researching the life of the musician, in reading their biography – when you find out that music has been a part of their life since their childhood. Maybe they lost someone when they wrote the music. "Soul" is in the context around the music, the political turmoils, the late night depression, the very moment the music was created in. "Soul" is simply knowing that someone practiced hard and crafted every single aspect of the music with intent.
AI sounds better? Sure.
But without intent, without history, without context it's no more than pretty sound and if that is the kind of "music" you want to listen to, go ahead. In the meantime, I will pick up meaningful dialogue with the wonderful people that listen to mine. I will tell them all about what moved me, inspired me. I will tell them how I climbed up the piano when I was just 4 years old, begging my parents to buy me a piano. I will tell them how I almost quit music before I created this.
This is what music truly is about and I feel so, so, so sorry for you if you can't understand that.
