That’s funny Stuck In The Middle With You is supposed to be a Dylan parody. It ended up being Stealer Wheels biggest song!

I completely agree, thank you poly, this is pretty much the only hopeful and progressive take I’ve seen on AI music. As a musician, this gives me a lot of hope

Quadrophenia is light years better than Tommy, and a much better contender for The Wall.

Ozzy best HMR

I don't doubt that there's a lot of interesting potential in creative use of AI, you're highlighting a bunch of great examples. I fear that AI will basically kill artistry as a job. Yes, most artists don't strive to make background filler stuff, but the pure option of ending up there if you don't strike stardom is a very important insurance for those willing to do art, be it music, painting, acting, voice over or whatever. And losing all of that to generative AI makes it so that art can - even more than already - only be attempted as a hobby by the well-off.

Exactly! I never liked the term post punk

The best use of AI to me was what happened with "Now and Then" or the Revolver remix by The Beatles, where they used AI to separate elements from the songs, for example separate John's voice from the piano track, which was the biggest problem in 1995. Or the Get Back series, where they could individually clean certain previously unheard dialogue. In those cases, I think AI can be very beneficiary.

Just an insidious lead-in to an advert. Gross.

Led Zeppelin is forever remembered for their plagiarism.

Mr. Crowley the best solo ever. ❤

Sorry mate, but everyone hates genre names. They just kind of appear, and if they catch on, there’s nothing you can do. Go commiserate with Rites of Spring, if you want.

Love the Everything Everything shoutout!!

"Ethical snags" (2:30). Holy shit. SNAGS. You are legitimately unhinged. Have fun with the future you are so welcoming of. Just letting you know I won't be watching any more of your videos though, there is enough brainrot around as it is.

I don’t comment ever, but this was the best quick hit on AI I’ve seen. Great work!

This is an interesting video but ultimately I think incorrect. Individuals will play with ai in fascinating ways, but it will be used on a large scale to put small artists out of work and make being a jobbing musician harder. Why pay an artist for a jingle when a generated song will kinda work?

The way I see it, AI doesn’t change that much. When you go see a Marvel movie or hear the same strumming pattern in a commercial, you already think it’s soulless. AI doesn’t kill art because art is made for the sake of expression - not money. Laborers losing jobs because of a newly developed and more efficient technology is nothing new - it is unfortunate but that is the reality of life that no one is or should be exempt from; in the end you can only embrace it rather than waste time and energy getting angry at it. We shouldn’t be clutching our pearls for the “artists” just because their form of labor has some resemblance to the form of human expression known as art - Artists and artists are not the same thing. True art will remain as long as people will be walking on this earth, and art that wouldn’t be made without a monetary incentive will remain soulless and expendable.

AI’s sole function is to do what humans do, cheaper. It’s a tool for businesses. Businesses want profit. That means we lose our jobs, have no income and will spend our days consuming bullshit content made by AI. I hate that shit. But it is super useful as a time saver. So that’s why we’ll sell out to it.

It probably won’t mean the death of art, and sure it has some upsides. But I feel like it’s gonna make the landscape worse overall, and in a generally underwhelming way too. Says a lot that the best artistic thing you can think of is showing how everything is going to shit…

Paul Stanley has special guitars setup just to be smashed. He has a large cut made at the neck pocket so they break easily. Sounds like an expensive habit? Paul and Gene both sell every guitar that they play on stage after every show. Even Paul’s smashed guitars will fetch a hefty price tag for some collectors.

Finally, a fleshed out, evidence-driven opinion, emphasizing how truly grey it is. I'm so tired of already derivative self-proclaimed "artist"-types moaning the same soulless talking points they read on Instagram, almost as tired as I am of tech bros and businesses who lazily think the AI is already powerful enough to output polished, viable replacements for man-made graphics, audio, and video. I appreciate you for sorting through what's real in this surreal time, and giving a fresh perspective when the culture war echo chambers haven't generated much of compelling discussion.

I have to say. I think Brian Eno's take on this issue is bonkers, and not worth celebrating. We, as humans need to share the art we love. The shared experience is key, and something we crave. Why do you think sports is such a cultural juggernaut? It's because it can get a very big group of people interested in one specific thing. Like, having an "album" that is just a generative machine spitting out different outcomes for different listeners is not something worth celebrating, it is alarming, very alarming! It speaks to a future where we have zero cultural cohesion, each person just in there own little bubble, consuming there own little auto generated piece of slob.

Ozzy's success is just dumb luck. He never had a clue the guy is such a putz.

You sound like a dweeb

This has had all the perfect makings of a counter shift. AI has made strides faster than even the initial days of the internet not because it's *good* but because so many people support it. This isn't going to stop just yet, we haven't had a movie in the theaters that's 100% AI after all. However I'm sure anyone can imagine at that point we'll be pretty tired of it, what happens with the rest of content creation however will be anyones guess. My guess leans on our future generations, live bands are fewer and far quieter, garage bands are broken up by noise bylaws regularly. Heck even TikTok has helped shape a belief that everything we try we must be good at day-one. It might be a small spark, and it will probably happen away from us both geographically and generationally, but I do genuinely believe a kid somewhere out there won't give a s*** about what they see/hear and try to do something different offline. But until then this is an excellent time to review known content. The worries of AI influence affect everyone and the opinions seem to reflect that, so for now I would prefer to spend my time seeing what defines the "individuals preference" rather than AI's. These last few years I've experienced more diversified content than I ever did before, I can't be concerned about what is AI or not when at this point I'm no longer convinced I understand what humans can really make. Until the day people just give up on AI media content it would be nice if more people raided the thrift store dvd bins or their old family cassette recordings. This world will be fine, I'm excited for the pressure pot we have made for creatives in this current culture and how it can only make generations that resist it from the foundation up. Awesome video too

When you mentioned the left turns, glitches and ugliness are the most interesting thing about using AI tools to create music reminded me of this Bill Hicks quote: “Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them. 'Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years were rrreal fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fucking high they let Ringo sing a few tunes.” .... Its cyberdelica

This is some serious cope

Best song of all time. It revolves to heaven and back to earth and heaven again. Second is Day in a Life. Bohemian Rhapsody is not even close.

alt punk?

Thank you.

I am always cautious of applying my moral values to people in a past I did not live through. During the 60’s 70’s many child psychologists would state that little girls are sexual and want that type of intimacy with adults. There was no real awareness from a child’s perspective, like we are starting to have today. Today we still sexualise children, for example the actress of Stranger Things who at an award show looked as if she were in her early 20’s with the make-up and dress, instead of a teenager. I don’t know if this will change. When I was young I would hear men in the 50’s talking sexually about my friends and I even though we were only 15/16 years old. Teachers would hit on us. And this is the 90’s early 2000’s, so not so far back. If everyday men found that natural, what of drugged-up men, constantly traveling with young women throwing themselves at them as if they were gods in the 60’s and 70’s? I cannot state that what they did was good, but it is difficult to condemn them specifically when I believe there was a societal acceptance. Sartre and De Beauvoir, leaders of the philosophers of that era signed petitions to lower the age of consent. De Beauvoir was a sexual predator, kicked out of her teaching job, and yet she is still acclaimed as a forward-thinking feminist to this day. A deeper conversation needs to be had on this subject as a whole, and unfortunately, the #MeToo movement didn’t not leave room for that, though some progress was made. As for Zeppelin, yes, they were/are a product of their times. It is a real shame that they were not able to give a better example and truly impersonate the mythological heros they aspired to be. As a deep music lover and an eternally noob musician, I have always seperated the humans from the music; I don’t know how to do it any other way, because most of the time, the musicians are not good people, whatever the era.

I like to call Nirvana an "honorary riot grrrl" band. "Grunge" as a coherent genre never really existed until it was frankensteined together by record labels who wanted to sell bands as being "like nirvana," but if i were to actually categorize nirvana amongst the rock bands of the puget sound area at the time, i'd say they were closer to the riot grrrl bands than they were to, say, Pearl Jam. But all of these bands pretty openly hated being categorized like that anyway, so i guess it doesn't matter. >~<

RITCHIEEE!!

Wow. These comments could be titled, "When artificial intelligence meets authentic stupidity". No one knows how it works, but will explain exactly how "big corporations" will use it to murder artists and their babies and prop them both on a stick while AI plays their music. Greedy fat cats without a creative bone will hipmotize poor struggling artists that will sign anything to be famous. Poor me, wahh, the world sucks, everybody (but me) just wants money. waaaaaaa

Wow, for a « docu » supposed to talk about the history of rock’n’roll, this is not a good job. There are some relevant points, and it would have been better if the subject would have stayed within the confines of US America. The problem is that most US Americans, are very US-centric, and view History through a US POV (pretty limiting considering the country isn’t even 250 yrs old). Talking about British bands culturally appropriating black music genre is bad form and not accurate. For those who know nothing about History, post-WWII US and post WWII-Europe, are truly not at all the same experiences. Looking at an author like Tolkien a soldier during WWI, losing all his friends to that war, and then having his sons beings drafted to fight WWII… Yeah the pain is real. London is a relatively « new » city in many places because it had to be rebuilt post-war as there had been many bombings, contrary to other English cities in which one can still see medieval structures. There wasn’t the racism in the UK that there was in the US, but there was a real class distinction. (There still is to this day, no matter how cute My Fair Lady is, that is the main subject, passing an « ill-bred peasant » for a « well-bred distinguished upper-class lady). And there were many « rednecks » in the US South as well. And they took to jazz, blues, Appalachian music, bluegrass ect… The fact of the matter is that all the white bands discussed in this « documentary » are British and it is a shame that this is being labelled as cultural appropriation, instead of cultural exportation. I highly doubt that a Chuck Berry or a Little Richard would have ever thought that some poor English blokes would ever buy their records, let alone try and emulate the genre. And yet… All great art transcends nationalities, language, even culture because it speaks to the soul. I think many of the English bands that came to the US with their British take on rock’n’roll did give credit where credit was due. They knew and truly appreciated where their inspirations came from. So no, that is not cultural appropriation. Now, going back to Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis… Perhaps there would have been much more to say. Taling about the record industry and the labels, that also would have been more relevant to the topic. But if the thesis is that poor English dudes who bought US American music they liked and got inspiration from it and made it their own, is cultural appropriation, then we have to go way back in time because rock’n’roll, jazz, blues did not just appear out of nowhere, those genres also had been influenced by other types of music. Should we go all the way back to when music notation started? (Medieval monks who wrote down gregorian chants). Finally, yes, it is true that in many instances the general public doesn’t know the « black » origin of rock’n’roll… but most people in the general public just listen to the music they like and don’t much care for the history of it, the origins or development, most don’t even care for the genre and would have a hard time telling the differences between swing, boogie-woogie and the early beginnings of rock’n’roll. And this isn’t a sin. They just like what they like and listen to it. Last point, I don’t think rock’n’roll died in the black communities people just couldn’t danse to it any more… That’s just nonesensical. Again, I think there were many changes that appaered during that time that mutated the black community in the US : the Vietnam war, drugs, the migration of many black people from the US South to the North, and the civil rights movement, the assassinations of both MLKJr and JFK, and the rise of the disco clubs. I truly hate when the message is that a whole community is a victim, that is showing no respect for the people in the past, present and future of said community. The US black community is incredibly diverse, and many US black people have changed forever music. To state that people selling records internationally are the victims of those buying the records is insanity. They may be the victims of corporate greed, but not of the people who actually appreciate their work. This is a bad piece that wants to depict the simplistics, yet popular belief that black people = good and white people = forever tarnished with original sin. That is not how humanity works, even though US Americans like simplified narratives. Perhaps for a next docu, a piece could be done on why the beginnings of rock’n’roll resonated so much with British young men and women…?

Pls more Springsteen videos!

I don't think the most of the musician will accept this as an art since it is too easy process to call it an art, may be to people who create content like vlogs, and other things that may require few snippets of BGV might get satisfied and call it a art. However my opinion on this , is its less of the meditative process to call it the art by musician. No sense or feeling of accomplishment at all.

The difference between this piece of technology and previous ones is big though and that's the corporate element. The invention of the electric guitar didn't the music industry could phase out guitarists, and while subsequent developments have attacked different jobs (who needs a drummer? Every instrument can be played on a keyboard) and basically made the producer the only vital job, AI can even dispense with that, with the job whose only core attributes are knowledge and vision. Will it destroy music? No. Will some fringe people find interesting ways to use it? Of course. But the fact that mainstream music uses fewer instruments, structures, chords and sounds from decade to decade shows exactly what happens when you lose the individual player, and this technology just advances that. A time when "a beat" and "a song" are interchangeable terms.

I find AI art to be disgusting in a way that is hard to put into words. It’s like the fabric of reality being distorted. Like humanity is being pulled even further from its self. It’s deeply haunting and I find it very hard to find anything the be hopeful about with AI art. It just makes me sad. I feel like the only thing it’s good for is showing you how fucked up and twisted the world is becoming, I already knew about that I don’t need to see it more, I want something to smile about.

This could be a really cool idea if it werent for the devastating consequences ai will have on small artists like myself. I don't stand a chance to follow my dream if a corporation can get a robot to do it for free.

I hate how ppl don't get what's bad with ai... Use it as a tool, use it to help you, use it for anything it's all ok and good. We literally were doing it for decades. The problem is how it's been used by capitalism. The why it's used to steal and replace ppl

I didn't know about Lightfoot before watching this video. Now, about a year later, he's one of my favorite artists.

Too bad he was ahead of his time for most to appreciate his Talent!

If that one mosquito humming in your ear was a saxophonist 💀

a crazy zepplin fan Their sexual misconduct Along with other bands after these need to be public They werec18 22 yrs olds when they started No excuse Bck in the 70s even if u werent a baby groupie Young girls in Australia Were already sleeping with men not boyz So this makes it hard I once escorted my friend 17yrs old to her so called boyfriends plce Him 30yrs old divorcee Me 14 yrs old She was passed out Drugs This man fed me a few the rest is history Lucky i was awake or not so If we took therse men to court Back in the day They wld claim she was all over me ??? We had the broken homes they had the booze drugs❤

Wait so all the visuals were collage? (No sure if spelled it right) that's fucking cool tho. Awesome video tho. As a musician I often get worried for AI thinking it'll replace music as we know it. But this made me a little relieved

In the mid 00's, Canibus made a song that mixes and matches bars for a total of 1000^6 bars, and he has been embracing AI recently, so I'm really excited to see what he comes up with.

Great video! Your breakdown of how AI is transforming the music industry was super insightful. At Rocket Rebel Records, we're always exploring how technology can enhance creativity, and your points about AI's role in music production really hit home for us. Thanks for shedding light on how AI is shaping the future of music. Looking forward to more of your content! Cheers, Rocket Rebel Records

AI won’t replace humans but it will lower the bar of aesthetic standards by constantly aiming for the middle-but that’s been happening for decades anyway at the hands of corporate beancounters.
