This song is tearing through the music industry right now. In the age of algorithms and artificial intelligence, the rise of AI-generated music stirs a symphony of emotions, from awe to existential dread. The notion that machines could not only mimic but potentially surpass human creativity in composing music is a thought that resonates with a chilling harmony. The fear is not unfounded; after all, AI has demonstrated its ability to learn and replicate complex patterns, potentially leading to a future where the top charts are dominated by melodies designed by digital minds. Yet, we fool ourselves into believing that our fear overlooks the irreplaceable essence of human creativity: the soulful touch; the emotional depth; the cultural significance embedded in music created through human experiences. We try to comfort ourselves by admitting while AI may create tunes that are technically perfect, it simply can't replicate the heartache in a blues singer’s voice or the joy in a folk dance tune. After all, one would need something ethereal to reach the depths of emotion and understanding to create that magical connection; one would need a soul. The concept of the soul has long been a subject of philosophical, theological, and cultural debate. Seen as the essence of consciousness and individuality, it's something that transcends the physical realm. The idea that the soul is "willed into existence" by collective belief is a fascinating thought experiment that touches on the power of human perception and intention. In this context, the emergence of generative AI in creative fields like music can be seen as a reflection of humanity's collective will. Just as we might believe that a newborn is endowed with a soul through the act of conception and the intentions of those around them, one could argue that we--humanity, all of us, together--are willing a 'soul' into AI through our interactions and expectations. However, even if we choose the deny the idea that generative AI could ever possess consciousness, emotions, or a soul, the notion of AI developing a soul remains a poetic way to describe the increasing complexity and seeming autonomy of AI systems. The 'soul' of AI, then, can be understood as the human-like qualities we project onto it, the narratives we construct around it, and the roles we envision it fulfilling. As AI continues to evolve and integrate into our lives, it becomes a mirror reflecting our own creativity, aspirations, and--perhaps--our desire to find a spark of the divine in the works of our own hands. And since the ultimate expression of the soul is creativity, and the ultimate expression of creativity is art, and art is subjective... maybe we really are willing a brand new soul into existence. #music #generativeai #ai #artificialintelligence

A new tutorial following the Electronic Music Pedagogy approach: Encourage students to: 1) Tinker with Bandlab and see what happens! (don't skip this super important step!) 2) Recreate a song to learn the DAW - no more 'teacher as fountain-of-all-knowledge' approach (use our tutorials to get started) 3) Use your new skills to recreate your fav tracks, or create your own tracks using a DAW of choice. https://lnkd.in/ggqeh6HN
