Ha, yeah I saw that episode. Pretty lousy music although probably good enough to be incidental music in a movie or something. The best use of musical AI I’ve seen so far (without doing much looking) is the newer King Willonius stuff on YouTube. The older stuff is pretty lame...you can really tell the learning curve of whoever is creating it.
The lyrics weren’t all that bad.
That’s just it, take the lyrics that AI generated, and use them as your own, and record it, who will know? It’s fairly easy to cover your tracks.
You may still have to come up with the music yourself, though, because if you just go with what the AI generated, you’ll probably get exposed, if you know nothing about music theory.
I can imagine some friends, in a high school band, who are fairly capable on the instruments, have a singer with chops and personality, but can’t write an original song to save their lives, using AI to crank out a album’s worth of songs, making a demo based on it, and then promoting themselves.
Where it gets tricky is, who gets the songwriting credit? And certainly they have to keep the secret as to how the songs were composed, so if one of the members is unhappy with the arrangement, will they spill the beans?
