I think in the context of K-Pop it makes total sense, the music and everything around is anyway just done after a formula which has proven to work very well to sell. While right now you need to put children and teenagers through years of rigorous training and expose them to immense stress and pressure so most of them break, with AI you can easily replicate the same formula and refine much quicker without throwing so many young people into the meat grinder of the music industry.
More money and control for the companies less people killing themselves.
The ones who really burn for the music will make music despite AI music being available. And they also will find an audience, even though it might be smaller.
Uh... I don't think that's a necessary part of the process to making k-pop, or any kind of music. Industry people may think it's critical to making themselves shit-loads of money, but it's not important for the creation music or even selling the music.
Yeah, that's what I meant with the rest of my text that people will make music still, and this corporate breaking the children and teenagers can be replaced by AI.
What I worry about this is mainstream becoming "accustomed" to assemblyline content by AI. What if eventually people start actually consider the conformity to be good thing and originality deviant? Of course there will always be people who dont care what other think but vast majority of people seems to at least on some level be very conscious about it.
Imagine being the weird one just because you don't like ai generated crap
Have you seen the movie WALL-E? The people on the space-ship they're consuming engaging content all day long, nobody is creating anything anymore, so all this must been created by the AI. I'm just trying to say that it's not a novel idea. Writers and artists have been imagining this future for ourselves for a long time.
When you think about it, that's pretty much the history of boy bands, going all the way back to the Monkees. The faces were carefully chosen for demographic reasons, the songs were written by the labels and targeted for specific demographics, the faces' histories were largely constructed fictions (and published through "unauthorized" fan magazines and books that were ghostwritten by the labels and laundered through other publishing companies). The only real difference is that now software is being used for it rather than marketing teams.
well, at least there is less human suffering involved now
Quite disturbing to see open support for our own dispossession rationalized this way.
I'm a programmer, we've been advocating and working on replacing ourselves with scripts since the 50ies.
