Cave paintings. Vinyl. Napster. Spotify. Now this. The music never changes. So why does the way we consume it keep getting rewritten?
Here’s where AI music is actually heading from an insider: The Modern Audio Revolution
The main arguments against AI music are false:
"It’s stolen!" Musicians have influenced, borrowed from and built on the work of other musicians since music began.
"It has no soul!" That’s subjective, not a fact. People can connect emotionally with music regardless of how it was made.
"It’s not human!" Every AI-generated song starts with a human making choices: the idea, the prompt, the lyrics, the direction and the editing.
"It’s taking money from musicians." If people are using AI to spam or exploit platforms, deal with the spam and exploitation. Don’t pretend every AI music creator is the problem.
The tool is new. The arguments against it aren't.
AI Music will become one with the music industry within the next year. Record labels are creating their own AI platforms. Producers are secretly creating beats using AI, engineers are learning how to integrate AI into their process, and artists are using AI for melodies and better song performance. On the other side of the fence, there’s an underground and an independent AI movement forming.
The underground has embraced AI more openly. We are the true pioneers of AI music. We are the ones who openly embrace it in the face of harassment, vilification, being outcasted, watermarked, blacklisted, shunned, rejected, and, worst of all, being called fake artists.
But currently, the gatekeepers are purging us from distribution and streaming sites while breaking down the Suno’s… This isn’t because they hate AI; it’s because AI is the Infinity Glove that they feel should not be wielded by the people, but instead by their hand-picked puppets.
With saying all this, I just want everyone to know that even though you may not have a huge following, just know that we are at the very beginning. People don’t think your AI music sucks; they just don’t know it exists. Don’t stop. Don’t be deterred. Your music is awesome. Keep creating. We can’t let the industry push us out. We bled for this. AI music is for all artists, not just the hand-picked…
I’m rooting for all of you.
AI Music is Awesome 🤘🏻
Rick Rubin understands
what many artists still refuse to accept.
Creativity isn't in moving the brush.
It's knowing what to paint.
AI doesn't change that.
Humans have always loved music because it lets us hear our own story in someone else's voice. The only barrier to everyone telling that story directly has just been removed. What makes you think people will not walk through that door?

I do not believe DSPs disappear in that world. They hold the taste graphs, the behavioral data, the playlist ecosystems. But their pitch changes from "we have millions of tracks, find the ones you like" to "we will generate what you love, endlessly, just press play."
@Acer_Nanaba Gen music is going to change the way humans listen to and interact with music. The hate is so forced. People have a hard time seeing the opportunity in new technology it’s easier to hate
I know the world disagrees but I feel vindicated.
I always said music was low IQ noise and refuse to play it ever.
Now AI has yet to crack a well written stand up comedy set, or a great work of fiction.
But it worked music out in a second.
AI songs are now just as good.
Told you it wasn’t magical.
Unpopular opinion: the real risk for AI music companies isn't lawsuits.
It's training on the same decade of music everyone has already heard. The next sound is coming from artists with under 50K monthly listeners.
Every generation in the music business swears the current disruption is the one that will finally kill it. Every time, that disruption becomes the industry.
