We\u2019re rocketing towards some truly terrifying times in music.<\/p>\n

In recent years, AI-generated music has become more and more commonplace, and creating it has become more and more accessible. Music created with artificial intelligence is already running rampant on social media platforms like TikTok, and as AI continues to advance, music made solely by machines is becoming harder to distinguish from songs made by real people.<\/p>\n

This might seem like a mundane issues, but there\u2019s a lot of risk involved. A multitude of artists have already spoken out about AI-generated songs, with many showing concern that the technology can copy their own voices. The state of Tennessee even passed legislation to prevent \u201cdeep fake\u201d songs and music creation from spreading.<\/p>\n

Though that\u2019s certainly a step in the right direction, there\u2019s not a whole lot that can be done with AI being used to create original music (rather than copying the voices of already established artists). And there\u2019s not really a barrier of entry for AI-music\u2026 thanks to platforms like Suno, anyone with a computer can do it.<\/p>\n

That very thing actually sparked a lot of controversy back in November of last year.<\/p>\n

Surely you heard about the AI-generated song that topped the Billboard Country Digital Songs Sales chart, right? Whiskey Riff reported<\/a><\/strong> that a track titled \u201cWalk My Walk,\u201d by an artist called Breaking Rust, had seemingly fooled the masses. It was a complete AI creation all around \u2013 from the artist, to the music video, to the song itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cWalk My Walk\u201d is actually credited to someone named Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor, who has seemingly also created another \u201cartist\u201d called Defbeatsai, which posts nothing but raunchy AI-generated songs. At least when it comes to the Instagram page for Defbeatsai, it\u2019s disclosed that the songs are AI-generated (I mean, they aren\u2019t hiding it\u2026 \u201cAI\u201d is at the end of the name).<\/p>\n

When it comes to the social media for Breaking Rust, that \u201cartist\u201d is described as \u201cOutlaw Country\u201d and \u201cSoul Music for Us.\u201d There\u2019s no mention that Breaking Rust\u2019s music has been created entirely by AI, and \u201cWalk My Walk\u201d in particular is the one that rocketed to the top of the digital sales chart. It became one of the top stories in not just country music, but\u00a0all of music <\/em>just a couple of months ago.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m afraid that was just the start of a growing, concerning trend that we could see for years to come. Why do I say that? Because it certainly seems like a whole lot of people were fooled into thinking some real people were behind that music\u2026 all for it to just be AI. Now, there\u2019s even a study that backs that fear up.<\/p>\n

Deezer, an Ipsos and music app, surveyed 9,000 different people across eight countries to see if they could successfully identify an AI track. In a shocking turn of events, 97% of the people that were surveyed actually misidentified<\/em> the AI track when directly comparing it to a song that was made by a real artist, according to Deezer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, that\u2019s not hard to believe. I see people all the time fooling for AI-generated news on Facebook (I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen that too), and AI music getting better and better as time goes on. That\u2019s kind of how artificial intelligence works. It continues to learn and build off what it has already done. And let\u2019s be honest, the easiest way to spot AI music is by the terrible cover art or social media presence when you finally look up the band.. but just hearing by ear? I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d be able to tell the difference either.<\/p>\n

Considering that AI is also still in it\u2019s infant stages (in the grand scheme of things), it\u2019s only going to get more and more advanced. That could translate into music that really is indistinguishable from songs made by real people, and if almost 100% of people are already falling for what\u2019s out there now\u2026 that\u2019s scary to think about.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
