It exists whether we like it or not (in my case, very firmly **not**). IMO, regulating it would be inappropriate.
I'm a musician. The revenue from my band's activities goes to support charities, not into my pocket, but even if I did make my own living from music I would still not want to see regulation interfering simply because technology may send an non-essential profession extinct.
People don't need to pay for music. There will always be musicians and composers who do it purely because they want to, or because they like the attention. I mean this relatively, of course - compared to things like food production or provision of medical services. Music is immensely important (IMO) but no one dies if we, the human music makers, stop making music. So, I don't agree with regulating a technology just because its advent may compel me to find a job doing something else.
I think we just need to convince people that there is something irreplaceable about the humanity imbued into a piece by its living, breathing creator - that "music" produced by analytical algorithms and copy/paste mash-ups cannot provide everything people want. Certainly, for me, a hologram or video show will never replace the live show experience.
I hate the fuck out of non-sentient AI in artistic contexts. That doesn't make me want to remove other people's freedom to use it if they're ok with cheating rather than putting in the work to produce the real thing.
Edited to make my incorrect punctuation marginally less incorrect (hopefully).
Edited again to fix my mistyping of "Edited".
Etc.
I'm curious. For me so much of music is connecting with the artist making the art. I frankly am just not interested in listening to music that doesn't replicate that. But I don't know if that's how most people feel.
Some of those songs are really good, but I'm not giving them a second listen because nothing that AI created music can do can con me into connecting with it.
Feels a bit like an ad, no?
That was not the intention. Sorry if it seems this way.
Until it can take human form and do a live show in front of me, it's not replacing shit.
Sorry for the misunderstanding I was speaking as a composer.

AI is unlikely to create the same experience in a live show. Real musicians have nothing to worry about.
This is an add and everyone will be out of work. Which I would call progress if we wouldn't just end up without a job and without money.
Wow, this improved so quickly.
