By Jason Bloom, LinkedIn | According to Rolling Stone: “An AI-generated band, playing AI-generated songs, has surpassed a half-million plays a month on Spotify. They call it an ‘art hoax’ — but predict the day will soon come when there will be an AI-generated hit, and listeners won’t care because they like the music.” The band in question is Velvet Sundown, and the track is titled “Dust On the Wind.” The song and recording were created entirely using the AI music platform Suno.
My take:
My crystal ball is currently in for repairs — but if I had to guess, I’d say we’re on the brink of a cultural shift as massive and irreversible as the dawn of the computer age.
The next generation will grow up with artificial intelligence embedded into nearly every aspect of creative life.
It won’t stop at songs and recordings.
We’re talking books, magazines, paintings, vocal performances, film scores, and even medical research — all at least partially AI-generated.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Probably both.
Like all seismic changes, the transition will be rocky. We’ve never faced anything quite like this — and neither has the creative industry.
In the past, I often argued that AI could only mimic what already exists.
It could.
