Hola, friends and lovers. Recently I did some research on AI generated music to find out how long it will take before flesh and bone musicians are completely replaced by a neural network. I may not be a big fan of EDM and the like, but I am obsessed with learning the process of how other composers create even if that composer is an algorithm that uses random models to deliver lo-fi beats and lush soundscapes. It was fun to play around on websites like Loudly and Soundful and you should check them out, too. Even if you have no aptitude for music, and I think that is one of the selling points, you will be creating exciting background music for your next tik-tok with a few mouse clicks.

If you are purist, you will be happy to know that this new recording titled “Good Time” is 98% non-AI. In fact, I collaborated with another genuine human guitar player who played his parts on a real guitar through a real amplifier right in front of me.

I cannot say the same for the image above. That was created by typing a string of words into an image generator. It should stand as proof that we are at least a year away from being replaced.

Hello how do you do, let me introduce myself to you
I’m a good time, I’m easy to find

We can burn like a flame, we can chill like ice
We can ignore all that good advice

We can live on credit, we can pay by cash
We can live like kings or just poor white trash

24 7 call me day or night
All you have to do is do what feels right

I can climb on top, you can slide beneath
I can be that gristle stuck in your teeth

We can do a day, we can do a year
We can make a plan or play it by ear

24 7 call me night or day
Everything you want is just one call away

24 7 three hundred sixty-five
All you have to do is be alive

We can stay, we can go 
No one ever has to know
