I’ve Made 100 Songs With AI. I Think We’re Asking the Wrong Questions.

After creating roughly 100 finished songs with AI, Christopher M. Michaud has had plenty of time to think about one of the biggest arguments surrounding artificial intelligence and music: who is actually creating?In this podcast editorial, Christopher explores what AI can do extraordinarily well, what it still cannot do, and why creativity may have far more to do with judgment, taste, rejection, arrangement and decision-making than simply producing the raw material.From unfinished songs finally coming to life, to endless machine-generated possibilities, copyright questions, musical influences and the strange experience of becoming the producer of an entire virtual studio, this is a firsthand look at what making music with AI actually feels like from the other side of the screen.The machine can keep generating.The artist still has to know what’s worth keeping.
