It’s like sitting at one of those old player pianos you’d put the rolled paper in and it would play the sing itself, claiming you are a modern Mozart. Despite not creating the piano, music roll, or ever doing anything special besides putting the roll in.
OTOH, is using electronically created music not art too? If you write your music and put it into FL Studio or something similar to “play” the music for you, is it not art?
I think the electric piano is a false equivalent here. Electronically created music is not the same as AI.
I have little issue with electronically created music so long as you actually created the music. As in going into the DAW and doing it yourself or inputting the music you recorded and doing touch ups. Whatever the case, it’d be hypnocritical of me to be against it, as someone who has created music using Musescore in the past.
Hell, I don’t have a problem with some forms of AI ( not genAI ) in music, considering the latest vocaloid generation ( vocaoid 6 ) have come full circle back into using some form of machine learning to make voicebanks. Also because there are other programs that do similar things, but I can’t fully trust a 3rd party voicebank isn’t gonna be stealing another persons voice without consent.
I just happened to use that old piano you’d expect to see in a western movie because I had it on my mind.
I think it depends on the extent to which an individual influences the end result. If the paper roll is pre made and the individual is merely placing it in its intended place, then that is different from carefully arranging notes and effects in a DAW.
