Generative AI has been making its way into almost every industry, even music. The Bengaluru-based Indian-Folk Rock band, Swarathma, was live at Cypher 2023. At the biggest AI conference, the band decided to generate lyrics of a song on the spot with ChatGPT, and started singing it, enchanting the audience.
There have been mixed views about the use of AI in the music industry, where people have been concerned about the copyright issues, let alone how technology affects this field of art.
Generative AI can make a huge impact in the music industry and thus it needs to be balanced out. For this, a lot of companies have been partnering with music labels to ensure that there is no infringement of copyright, and apart from lyrics, the music generated by the AI models also finds its way into the industry.
Apart from generating original lyrics, people have also been leveraging ChatGPT to generate lyrics similar to other artists. For example, some people tried generating new song lyrics, similar to the style of Taylor Swift, and were able to pull it off well. Undoubtedly, just like any other field, generative AI has found its way into the music industry, and is here to stay.
