You are far too optimistic. In a few years you will be able to get a finished song, (composed , played, recorded, sung, mixed etc) based of prompts. And you can improve it by giving notes. And the songs will be good enough that most people won’t care about any difference. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure I’m not. I agree that there will still be some of us who will record the old way, but we will drown in crap. There will always be a value to people who can play real instruments in the same room as an audience, though.
@@ColtCapperrune I think you'll be surprised at how fast AI will be capable of picking up full on production and mastering. Give it 5 years, 10 at the most. Microsoft is already working on an AI system that will be able to create anything from scratch, from music, film and novels to instantly generated virtual human beings who are indistinguishable from the real thing in regards to media production. AI will need to be purposefully kept in check or it's very quickly going to surpass anything output by humans. For example, go look at an aerospike rocket nozzle made by a human, and then compare that to the much more efficient and organic aerospike designed completely by AI. There's not even a comparison to be made. The AI design is already leaps and bounds better than any human design. And that's AI in its infancy. At the rate that it's advancing, you'll be lucky if you have another 5 years before you can select producer profiles from a $500 plugin and have it produce and master your song as if it was done by Rick Rubin, David Ferguson, Dave Cobb or Tony Visconti. It's going to happen very, very quickly. And people are not ready. The only way it doesn't happen like that is if checks and balances are added to purposefully hinder advancement.
@@ColtCapperrune trying to compare AI with very small technological advancements of the past is silly and laughable . Almost sounds like a religious belief or some kind of coping mechanism ... AI will change everything in a very short period of time , not just one thing : this is unprecedented and can't be compared to something that has already happened . Humans are very very soon going to be too slow to keep up , giant corporations will see it as an opportunity to dominate the world far more that they are currently are ... this could result in a " the gods vs the useless " type of society , a mix of cognitive capitalism for a very vey small % and some type of social credit score driven communism ( UBI ) for the vast majority . The idea : " I will be fine while a few others like truck drivers will loose their jobs " is false because the " others " might reach a very big % of the population in just a few years becoming a giant problem for everyone .
Great discussion - thank you! One thing however, that isn’t getting as much coverage, is market share. Big players in the industry get paid via market share, and easily-generated content could flood streaming services and dilute the pool of organically-created content. This will have a massive trickle-down impact in several areas of the industry. Something to keep an eye on.
@@ColtCapperrunehaha 😂 good joke….90000/day? It’s like finding a needle in a haystack. If you have hours to dig Good luck … the other thing is that there isn’t that momentum of a song where we celebrate it collectively as a generation. The music today no longer burns itself into the collective consciousness of the society
@@Behnan maybe we should go back to the old gatekeeping music industry model of big labels then?? Because it’s only one or the other. Everyone can make music, or very very few people can.
And the current AI technology is just in its nascent stage. Imagine what things are going to be like in 5 years. Terrifying to think about. Makes me want to treasure my humanity. Don’t sacrifice your souls for expediency, people.
A few months ago the music I heard was horrible from a.i. sounded like bad video game music. Just last week I heard a.i. try making music again it sounded like a bad home recording... Wonder how much it will progress in the next 6 months. I will bet you In a year from now it will take money out of musicians/writer/engineers pockets in some way or another.
To the point about painters, although they still exist today the position of portrait painter is almost nonexistent. The camera really did take that job. Most painters today are highly stylized niche painters
Amen to your statement starting @ 15:20 🙌🏻. I could see AI being a thing where you tell it how to mix, what parameters to change and what to automate as an assistant tool in studios. Future will tell! Great video!
Loved this. Just watched Peter McKinnons take on whether or not ai is going to replace photographers, and his stance was the same as yours! Not likely. Heart and soul cant be replaced!
Currently the tech needs steering well for it to be excellent. Without good steering it's pretty meh in some fields. In other fields, you're dead wrong. It's already having a massive impact. Concept artists, voice over, junior programming and more. Music is a harder nut to crack, and hasn't been the focus. Yet. It's coming though, and I don't think it'll ever take over, but as with so many other industries it will decimate the journeymen. I also imagine that it will give the major labels even more control. I understand that it's easy to laugh at ChatGPT but GPT4 is already hugely better than 3.5 (Chat GPT). It can already pass the bar exam and has fully coded me a bunch of utilities which would have taken me months to do by myself, as a programmer. I have to say though, awesome idea for a video because if you poo poo it, a million people who have seen it do more will write in your comments section, just like this 😂
Whoever decides to use ChatGTP for music creation is someone who basically decides to deliberately give up on his or hers creative powers as a human-composer.🍷🍾
Jaycen Joshua mentioned in one of his recent talks that mixing as an art form is doomed and bound to disappear in the coming years. Much like you Colt, I do not share this sentiment, but I'd be curious to know your opinion on what you think might prompt someone to say something like that.
COLT, I HAVE AN UNRELATED QUESTION!! I just picked up an SPL BiG, I LOVE it, but keep second guessing whether I should be using it from the top, or wait until the end and use it to give that extra 10%... What's your preference??
This is a hot topic now - and it’s been on my mind for awhile too. Great video on an important issue, especially in the arts. Thanks, Colt. To me, nothing compares to the human touch. Hope you’re doing well!
Let me start off by saying I think AI/Chat GPT are very useful. The future is bright for AI, but right now, it definitely requires a human touch in all cases. It’s a good starting point for inspiration, but it’s not cranking out a finished anything of any kind. An electronic circuit isn’t able to be protected by IP though, so that part of the video is off base. The graphics on the enclosure and name of the pedal can be protected, but the circuit itself can not. Also, it was a tweaked bluesbreaker, so if there was the possibility of IP protection of a circuit, Chat GPT would be the one infringing.
I agree on needing the human touch. However, electronic circuits can absolutely be patented. Here in the US anyway. A patent is only good for 20 years though so once the patent runs out, anyone can make the same circuit.
Reskill and upskill. AI won't take our jobs, but like many say, 'Someone leveraging AI productively and creatively probably will'. And that someone will be human. Nice video. 👍
@@thecommonstaff8441 I was waiting for this comment. :) Yeah, I'm hoping that moderation happens _before_ some AI-related tragedy. Knowing us though...
OK, so the AI generated a footpedal circuit was basically a copy of an already designed, classic circuit, which it managed to eff up, then a real human being came along and turned it into a good version of a classic circuit. Which bit of this is supposed to be impressive? I’m being mean. Chat GPT is an impressive technology, which human beings conceived of and created. I think we are soon to be presented with a philosophical Zenith, human beings will either be intellectually or creatively surpassed by our digital offspring, or we will recognise the absolute miracle of the human soul. The talk around ‘sometime in the near future’ will perhaps become a hopeless impossibility as we learn more about ourselves and the infinite ways in which we are unique. So far AI has been fun, but wholly non-creative and ultimately a little depressing in how unoriginal it actually is. A great tool, but not a replacement for the human.
I think with anything new tech-wise in music recording/production there's always a bit of overreach at the beginning and then things kind of even out and comes to a homeostasis. With AI it might start out that way, but I believe it will take over very quickly, especially at the big corporate level, major labels, production companies for films, etc. It's just gonna happen, jobs will go away,...the genie is out of the bottle. I think it will fracture/divide the overall music community which could lead to an entirely separate industry of music creation/production done by humans. Maybe. That's the only way I can spin it in a positive to make myself feel better. lol.
AI will create the music you like, from the idea's original concept all the way through production I need to add the concept of machine learning. If someone is willing to commit resources it will happen much quicker than one might think.
I only hope that people remember that the A in AI stands for “artificial”, so the human touch doesn’t actually get replaced. I can’t help but be a bit pessimistic, though. Food is probably the biggest reason for that.
We humans have grown in serious numbers and yet we have computers and AI taking our jobs with the cost of living going up. We are in trouble we keep allowing “robots” take out jobs
I respect your thoughts and all your work Colt, but here I disagree. We all, when talking about AI, are talking bout whats now. II am shure, this only is a starting point. There will come much more AI skills in the future. And, to be a pessimist, the industry, the manufactors but allso the buyers, the consumers don't will give a sh... by wich production methods the stuff is made they wanna sell or consume... Remember when automobile was invented. How many people trusted that horses will be the future.... The question is not, what can AI and what not. The question for me is, how do we define our role as human beings when everything we can do will no longer be needed?
AI generates results based on 'real' content creator data, so it's uncreative by nature, that leads to fewer truly creative results. Filling the art/music space with non-creatives could never be a good thing.
But seriously, I feel this is way short-sighted. Music will be tailor made per listener in the future by AI and we’ll all be out of jobs. The AI of today isn’t there yet, the AI of 10 years from now will be - bet.
TBH, I’d be pretty stoked for AI mastering. As for music creation itself, if you are capable of writing good songs, they will stand out from AI…hopefully.
@@HalcyonGuitars AI will do its thing - and exceptional music made by human beings will always stand out. The average formulaic crap will become obsolete .
Music by dictation. Like Elmer Bernstein once said. Geez. I mean it's fun to be creative, so not really been personally a problem and will not be. Hope your health is good man!
Great work Colt!! Thanks for having me along!
Thanks for being a part of it!!
Nice job Shawn!

I’ll do another video in two years discussing how my business has done thanks to AI
Man, music producers are in denial mode about this, it's just a matter of time
