Analytic Dreamz: Notorious Mass Effect - "RECORDING ACADEMY GRAMMY AWARDS VS A.I. FULLY GENERATED SONGS"

Episode Date: September 11, 2023

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn the latest episode of "Notorious Mass Effect" hosted by Analytic Dreamz, we dive into the evolving landscape of music and artificial intelligence. The Recording Academy, responsible for the prestigious Grammy Awards, has introduced new eligibility requirements. While AI can now be used in music creation for award consideration, there's a catch: a "meaningful" human authorship component must be present in the work. Fully AI-generated songs are ineligible for Grammy recognition. Additionally, artists must contribute at least 20 percent of the work to be considered for Album of the Year. This shift comes as generative AI technology has gained ground, giving rise to AI-generated songs by popular artists. However, these AI tracks, like the one that combined Drake and the Weeknd, have sparked debates over copyright infringement. The music industry's experimentation with AI continues to evolve, especially on platforms like TikTok, where AI covers of songs are gaining popularity. Tune in to "Notorious Mass Effect" to explore the impact of AI on the music industry and the Grammy Awards.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a fight on our hands because now AI generated music has finally received recognition from the Grammys and not in the way they hope or intended. Because ultimately, the Recording Academy, which organizes the Grammy Awards, has officially updated its rules to ban. Completely ban. music created solely by artificial intelligence from being eligible for an award. Sorry, to all the Patrick stands out there, to all the Mr. Crabb stands out there, your Billy Jean covers will not be nominated. So anyways, this new rule will go into effect, which goes into effect in 2024, states, that human, a human, must have a creative role

in a compositional performance of the work. And this means that AI generated music can still be eligible. So for people out there who's like, I can't use AI at all, I mean, you can, but you have to have human involvement in the creative process. Whereas whether it's writing or playing the instrument, has to be some type of human element

into the AI music. Also, a lot of people will try to trick the system and just say it's human when it's completely AI. Some way, somehow, the Recording Academy is able to notice if it's AI or if it's entirely created by AI. I don't know how they'll be at a Diffrient yet. I can't even, that's not even a word. I don't even know how they'll be able to differentiate. Diffrient. No, that's not it.

Differentiate. Is that the word? I don't know. Anyways, y'all get what I'm saying. I don't know how they'll be at the split up AI-generating music from human plus AI-generated music. Like, I felt like it's the same. Like, I don't think AI-generated music makes itself, you know? Like, there has to be a human, like, okay, I want to miss the crowd vocals over a Billy G sample.

Like, a human, you know, was in play with that whole creative process. But as far as writing the lyrics or playing an instrument, I think that's where. you'll be able to tell the most because obviously Billy Jean is from a Michael Jackson song and obviously the instruments was already made when they made the beat. So anyways, I think it still would be a little difficult to, I think it is differentiate. Anyways, I think it would be a little bit hard to actually tell what's completely AI and what's not as even nowadays it's getting really scary and spooky on the evolution of AI and how it's seamlessly. integrating into different forms of entertainment, whether it's podcast, music. There's a lot of other things that we're going to even cover on this podcast. Studios are now wanting to use the advancement of AI to not pay people, essentially. We're going to get to the segment.

It's not funny, but if there's a CEO or the owner of a multi-billion dollar company, They're going to find some type of way to skew the little man, if that's the right word. As this evolution of AI technology just told every billionaire on earth that now I can get rid of more people, which will, in turn, make me more money. Which is why we have to hold SAG and WGA strikes going on right now. But I'm going to get into that later in this podcast. But basically, what you need to know is the Recording Academy says that the rule is necessary. necessary to ensure that the Grammys continue to recognize human creativity, which is a big point that they are highlighted.

They also said that the rule is intended to protect musicians and their livelihoods, because I ain't going to lie. AI music has been the highlight of my year. I don't know about you, but all of these AI collabs from Ariana Grande to, what is it? Yeah, Ariana Grande to Michael Jackson to the weekend, collabing with Michael Jackson. And like a lot of this stuff keeps going back to Michael Jackson. Also Kanye West. Kanye West has a lot of, you know, interesting features, whether it's Kanye West and

Tupac, Notorious BIG and JZ. Like AI evolution has given us some of the greatest collabs in history. And I'm being so serious. Like the music created by AI has been better than most, if not everything I've heard this year. So that's just a testament to how seamless and how. genuine and authentic AI has came or no AI has evolved into making the music sound so anyways some people have criticized the rules saying it's unfair to AI musicians and the stifles innovation I don't agree with that at all and the others have defended it saying it's necessary to

preserve the integrity of the Grammy Awards which I wholeheartedly agree with as long as you have some creative input into the actual music making I could see it becoming a problem but for the most part a lot of these people using AI heavily

is just straight up ripping like older successful tracks and putting like modern day popular voices on it so yeah I'm definitely torn between how those people

feel but as far as this rule i think it helps out and i think it's very much uh needed because you know a lot of people are going to try to submit their crusty crabs billy jean cover for the gramees which is insane in itself i'm glad there's actually rules in place now to stop that type of uh wave because that's just that's just not it but anyways click my link here in my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about the whole grammies versus a i do you think they should be a lot or do you think fully AI generated tracks should be allowed to be submitted to the Grammy or the Recording Academy, or do you believe it has to have some type of human creative role in the process?
