    The Grammys actually said AI-generated songs were eligible! Insanity. Their rationale is that the person who prompted the AI gets the award. Still crazy.

      Can we just make the Grammys themselves AI-directed? Then just let the robots give themselves their own awards and cut us out of the process altogether.

      There an anime recently where basically every musical artist used AI in their songs I think. The main characters were unique for writing their own without it. Someone must remember the name of it lol.

      Why would it be worse that someone getting a Grammy for a song that is made out of samples or using premade virtual instrument loops like it’s commonly done in electronic music or hip-hop? Artists should be able to use any tools they want, but you do have to update the jury so it is still able to discriminate between artistic quality in a world with AI and cheap gimmicks.

      Wow - complete and utter insanity. I think I read an article on an art contest prize awarded to an AI-generated piece.

      The ONLY upsides to this are:

      1. No more long waits for a new record to drop from your favorite “artist” - Taylor Swift still relevant in 50 years…etc, etc.

      2. Less revenue for TicketMaster because who tf is going to an AI concert?

          I remain confused by the Vocoloid sensation. I’m also really amazed by that video - how TF did they project like that in a way that looks good on stage. My goodness. This is one of those “We’re in the future now” moments. Though I really can’t see wanting to go to a concert that’s entirely virtual - I’m waiting to have it in my house like movies I guess.

          This just seems so much like tamagotchis - like … it’s not real. Maybe I need to see one singing in English.
