Hi, Chad.

I think that most of the results could easily pass for well done pop music.

Heck, it took me a minute to notice when it got to the end the music and started playing the next song.

As to how we can use it, I'm not sure.

For one thing, no output generated by an AI qualifies for a copyright. That means that anyone could strip the vocals off your song, replace them with another vocal, and there's nothing you could do about it.

These programs have been trained by crawling through the internet and violating copyright, so ethically they're a mess. I think people who think these programs are "creative" fail to realize the massive amount of data that is used to train these programs. Programs like Midjourney process billions of images. Think of how many country songs these programs have been trained on in order to get flawless steel guitar licks.

As a songwriting tool, they're meant to replace the musicians and composers. They do too much to be an idea generator, because in the end, all you're doing is assembling a collage of ideas that were generated by the AI.

This is truly astonishing technology, but they're one-button solutions designed to replace composers, musicians, and mixers - not tools for songwriters.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
