Actually, That AI Drake and The Weeknd Song Is Not Eligible for a Grammy::The song “Heart on My Sleeve” was pulled from streaming services after it was revealed to have been created with artificial intelligence.
They are way more afraid of the fact that this is non-copyrightable than anything else. I mean, the junk music the companies distribute will soon get adequate competition by AI generated junk music of comparable low quality. What will they be able to sell then?
I went and looked it up because I had to hear what an AI-made song nominated for a Grammy sounds like… really? This is award-worthy music? No part of this song sounds any different than the million other songs out there already in this genre.
Actually, now that I say that, I’m not surprised it’s AI generated, considering how unoriginal it is
Gotta agree. It very much sounded like the filler song you’d skip on an album as it’s mediocre.
I’ve never had any respect for the grammy’s. I recognize the artist’s efforts, but their music has always been “eh” at best.
Well, that’s what most awards are. How good of a friend the nominee is with the people casting the votes/assigning the prizes. There’s zero transparency among most popularity awards. The art died decades ago. It’s all about celebrity culture and that record label money. There’s some extraordinary music around being produced, but it’s not winning any Grammys.
His other song with Travis Scott is better, but I believe it’s more the production of it rather than the impact. It’s just a very well done song from a technical standpoint. However tonally it’s pretty mediocre.
Reactionary nonsense. May as well disqualify anyone using anything other woodwinds and stringed instruments.
Yeah, right, it’s like all those people forbidding doping and other forms of cheating in sports competitions. Why should you actually need to be good at something to participate in a competition right? /s
The AI in that song is just used as a tool to emulate the sound of drake’s voice. The rest is standard artist composition.
While I don’t particularly care for the song, comparing it to doping is not reasonable.
Same with all AI art tools. Actual artists can make reasonable use of these tools to more efficiently convey what they had wanted to convey.
This is just like when cameras were invented. Or people started using digital mediums. Or when people started making 3D art.
Even simple prompt only stuff like midjourney is improving to allow artists more control over the image they are trying to create.
If we end up with a holo-deck style experience where artists can craft entire worlds and details through gesture and dictation as a form of expression, is that still not art?
That’s one type of art, just not grammy-sanctioned art.
Ideas are a dime a dozen. That a tool can bring it to life without much effort doesn’t make it an amazing work of craft. Having said that, there could be a category in which made up ideas are the center. Like books and short stories.
I can think of a mouse with the head of David Hasselhoff giving a thumbs up while riding a dinasour-shaped rocket next to a black hole. Where’s my art award!!!
Yes there are different types of art. Yes some are impressive for technical skill in a specific medium. Traditional Hyper-Realism or corporate artists are good examples. Sandcastle art is cool too.
I don’t think these things will lose their unique value, but they are similarly not arguments against photography, film,digital art, etc for the things that give them their unique value. I think that also applies to AI mediums.
Nuance in everything.
