Not bad, but I don't think it will replace real musicians or music producers. Because the most important thing is missing in this.. what do we call it? Yes, soul..
so... no fear...

Well, it still has that 96kbps metallic sound like an MP3 coded in 1999, but that just means that we're about 10 years or less away from being obsolete. Possibly less because technology seems to advance much more rapidly these days. And I totally agree with Yoni's point about soul, but honestly the majority of people don't care. If you want proof of that, just look at the Top 20... any Top 20. And listen to Tik Tok music. Ffffing hell.

Sorry friends, enjoy it while you still can. AI is going to destroy the fun in every art form, and probably in every human endeavour that exists. But hey, we'll still have commerce to medicate away the boredom. Buy more stuff! Take more pharmaceuticals! Watch more reality TV! Get more self-righteous and angry at everyone who doesn't believe the right thing! Spend 4+ hours per day on social media! Oh and did I mention to buy more stuff? Yes, buy more stuff!

Sorry for the rant. I love people but I hate the world of bullsh*t that we have been told is good for us.

@Dylan Neal You say :majority of people don't care about soul in music So my question is : Are you making music for the majority of people ? Music industry have a big part of commercial music made with samples etc.. and a lot of people enjoy this music. A.I. can eventually replace this part one day. But for the other part, I think they will invent a time machine before 😂😂

Even A.I. plugins suck... Good Music, good mixes and good masterings (oh those shitty AI services for mastering... XDXDXDXDXD) needs a human been.. AI can be useful for some processes.. but always in a limited way... there will be more tons of crap cheap music by AI created that will be quickly forgotten, but real good shit will still be done by artists, recording and mixing engineers and producers.. or.. is gonna a robot to record a band? there are many other professions who are in danger cause of AI.. more than music industry... it will be much easier to replace personal in a beauty center as in a recording studio.

I wouldn't notice it's an AI music, but the sound work is terrible. Unlike the music theory, which is basically an exact science defined by rules, the sound engineering is very abstract and still be a challenge for machines to do it right. Especially now in the overcrowded music production environment where the good sound is necessary to stand out. And even after that, it'll never kill those, who don't make it for money but for the fun :)

@Cindy B You are correct. The only music that will be made by real musicians will be those who make music as a hobby, or those who make really weird and original music. Making commercial music for a living won't be a thing anymore, but we can definitely still enjoy it as a hobby! Or maybe more people will get bored of hearing the same commercial music that they've heard for 20 years and instead start seeking out weird and original stuff? That would be my dream, but I fear that it is just a dream. Still, at least there will always be places like Soundgym where hobbyists can hang out and learn and share and have fun.

Seriously, is there anything on that platform that you enjoy listening to? For more than a few seconds? Even the best examples are generic gunk. And honestly, I don't care how generic gunk is produced. Now it's mostly done by humans, and in the future it will be done by machines. So what? I neither want to make this kind of stuff nor listen to it.
On the other hand: I'm pretty sure some truly creative people will start using these tools in a creative way. I'm totally looking forward to that.
