Robert Schneider, frontman of Apples In Stereo and producer of In The Aeroplane Over The Sea has just released an A.I. album and his takes on it has got to be some of the worst I’ve ever read especially when he tries to use both math and the passing of his late friend, Bill Doss from Olivia Tremor Control, as justification for why he made the album and why A.I. is good. Here’s an article for context. The author, Schneider’s friend, at least doesn’t like A.I. at all: https://superjews.substack.com/p/can-ai-generated-music-have-a-soul?triedRedirect=true
Played around with that AI music website he mentioned, didn’t try very long, but I was unable to make anything that sounded unique or interesting, even trying different genres it always felt built to the exact same template. I probably wouldn’t be able to tell it was AI if it were on the radio, but it would feel like the most generic, corporate produced song possible.
