A survey published last week suggested 97% of respondents could not spot an AI-generated song. But there are some telltale signs - if you know where to look.
Here’s a quick guide …
-
No live performances or social media presence
-
‘A mashup of rock hits in a blender’
A song with a formulaic feel - sweet but without much substance or emotional weight - can be a sign of AI, says the musician and technology speaker, as well as vocals that feel breathless.
- ‘AI hasn’t felt heartbreak yet’
“AI hasn’t felt heartbreak yet… It knows patterns,” he explains. “What makes music human is not just sound but the stories behind it.”
- Steps toward transparency
In January, the streaming platform Deezer launched an AI detection tool, followed this summer by a system which tags AI-generated music.
There’s a pretty well known studio engineer that has a YouTube channel. He did a bit where even he couldn’t tell the difference.
We’re cooked at this point. There is really no need to bother learning a creative skill outside of it being just a personal desire to do.
There will be no money or career opportunities in the field of entertainment and arts.
Hard disagree. I will never pay a single penny for any form of LLM-generated “art,” because the whole point of art is to share in something meaningful to the creator. There is no creator with generated slop. It’s all just unthinking and unfeeling mass plagiarism.
I thought that too until I started listening to music that was AI generated and I had no idea. It’s pretty much over. There really isn’t anything unique anyway in human made content
