[Warning...this vid is a little philosophic] While watching an interview of David Gilmore about his newest album, Luck and Strange, I was reminded that music is a gift to humans. That AI will never wait for years to finish a song, always looking for that special something it needs to complete it. That AI will never be visited by a Muse. That AI will never experience music.
The Cambridge dictionary defines muse as: a person, or an imaginary being or force that gives someone ideas and helps them to write, paint, or make music.
In this video, Gilmore talks about the creative process of the song Between Two Points, sung by his daughter Romany. He had recorded it for himself, but never released it because it just didn't feel right. Then a Muse whispered the idea in his wife's ear, to let their daughter sing it, and she did it in one take. You can see how the music washes over Gilmore as he listens to it.
Creative types seek and call on their Muses for help. And sometimes the Muse provides that magic moment when you ask, "Where did that come from?"
Artificial Intelligence will always be artificial. Right now, AI is more and more creating music for humans. Will there be a backlash when humans will want to hear music only made by humans? Because only Muse inspired music can go deep into the soul of humans, and AI will never ever be visited by a Muse!
