The latest episode of AI Tools for Creators dives into the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence and the music industry. Hosts Mike and Izabela kick things off with an AI generated intro track that Mike describes as having a “retro disco” vibe. Izabela likens it to “post-Communist Poland” and playfully drags the quality.
Music Creation Tools and AI Celebrity Voices
Mike demonstrates several AI music creation tools like Suno AI that can generate original songs, lyrics, and vocals with just a text prompt. He also plays some humorous AI vocal clones of SpongeBob SquarePants, Michael Jackson, and Ariana Grande created using Voiceify.
This leads to an important discussion around legal and ethical concerns of using celebrity voices without consent. Izabela in particular stresses the need for transparency so listeners can distinguish between real and AI generated content.
Billie Eilish Interview, Major Record Labels and Reviving Dead Artists with AI
Mike interviews a completely fake AI version of Billie Eilish using Memento. She shares thoughts on maintaining the human element in music and not wanting to be cloned without permission.
The hosts then cover major music labels like Warner Music signing virtual AI artists, as well as tools that can recreate deceased artists like Frank Sinatra. Izabela poignantly discusses the positives of resurrecting unique stars while being careful not to exploit it.
AI Music Tools
They wrap up by demonstrating music generation tools like Google’s MusicLM and Meta’s MusicGen that can create royalty free music with text prompts.
Let us know your thoughts on AI’s impact on music! Is this the future or the end of creativity?
