While much of the debate around generative music focuses on topics like artist displacement, 100% AI-generated tracks, or whether a system has trained on Taylor Swift to then output a Taylor Swift-esque song, this article argues that what fans really want is not to replace Taylor Swift, it’s to engage, recreate, duet, and build on top of Taylor’s music, expressing themselves and their love for her music.
In short, it is not that AI will take over the creative process, but rather activate new creativity!
For example, AI-enabled music will allow fans to be able to edit the track–taking the guitar out of one rock track and replacing it with a ukulele; they’ll be able to easily remix, transforming a country track into a reggaeton mix; and they’ll collaborate with other users to build something entirely new. Perhaps they will add in their own singing vocals, transform those vocals into something that’s funnier, wilder, or simply better-sounding; and they will be able to build, mash-up, edit, and splice, with the same simplicity as happens today with image and video.
