As technology continues to advance, its impact on all aspects of life becomes more profound, including the music industry. According to Brian May, the lead guitarist of the legendary rock band Queen, by 2023, it will be difficult to discern if a song was written by a human or AI. He asserts that the technological advancements are so swift and impactful, leading to the creation of AI capable of composing songs that are indistinguishable from those composed by human beings.
The entry of AI into the music composition realm isn’t entirely new, as there are already a good number of AI-generated compositions. However, the leap towards AI compositions that are indistinguishable from human compositions is a significant milestone. This development underlines the growing influence of technology in our daily lives and the potential that AI holds in the creative sector. It also brings to the forefront the question of the authenticity of music and the potential blurring of the line between human creativity and artificial intelligence.
