It's too early to tell as the site is only a day old, but sites like Udio allow anyone to create custom AI songs that sound nearly indistinguishable to human recorded tracks. Currently in free beta, users can create songs of any style with custom lyrics and remix the creation to come up with multiple concepts. Creators don't need a band or artists to put together catchy songs that could potentially go viral.

Nah, it’s not a threat to anything.
So much wrong to be doing. Pop music is already pure shit, training AIs to make music, based on learning from garbage, will be like drinking carbonated piss.
this feels like some kind of weird advertisement. But, as someone who makes music.... If digital didnt kill analog, then robots wont kill human creativity.
if someone wants to make some novelty app that makes novelty music out of "famous" voices - whatever. thats no different than "one click photo editor" apps but for Aural vs. Visual. It's "neat" but its not the same as actually hiring a graphic designer. (as in, stupid ass human made songs go viral every day. viral means nothing in todays world because it doesnt equate to good music)
F the music industry. music isnt an industry, so let that those suit and ties lose their bread and butter. it wont stop the music
let music lose its "hollywood" promises that so many fall into, and it become more of a trade school/etsy kinda thing and yeah that wont hurt music any lol.
I kind of suspect that much of electronic and pop music is being generated already. Most of it is incredibly unoriginal and uniform. You have to plow through mountains of shit to find something even remotely listenable and worthwhile your attention. Sure, vocals are still performed by real people, but the music itself - if not entirely generated already - might as well be. With quality standards as these, we won't notice a difference.
i think it would be pretty fitting if the soulless drone people that make popular music were replaced by an army of actual drones
damn... that shit is pretty cool
it won't put mainstream artists out of business, but musicians who make music for commercials and industrial videos will certainly be feeling this.
Some guy on twitter posted 10 examples. https://twitter.com/shawnchauhan1/status/1778439470187970561
Not all of them are my kind of jam, but none of them sound artificially created.
