I don't disagree if its building the whole song, but given that this is tooling within the DAW, if an artist went in and said 'give me 5 alternative reverb sounds on this track', is that not using AI as a tool? Yes, the AI is creating the sound profile, but is that any different then using presets, or samples?

I used to play around for days just making sounds on my synth. The process of creating them was often just turning random knobs and dials. If the AI is turning those for me, thats not a tool?

I think there is something to it. First, it would still need to be different enough from Smooth Criminal to avoid listeners just going back to the original. Then, if anyone could just type a simple prompt like that and get a hit, wouldn't we be flooded with 'sounds like' singles, which would turn the audience off of those, and now, you're not making hits...

I think there will always be more to it then just a simple prompt, but having the vision to make a song that sounds pleasing, and unique enough is certainly creative to me.

Of course, there's also a huge demand for generic, inoffensive music (think theme/intro songs, waiting room and elevator music). If we could make that more enjoyable to listen to, would anyone care if that's not creative thinking?

You could make (and many do) the same arguments over covers of songs, even when the covers end up eclipsing the original. Where was the creative thinking in that?

Or just cheaper to license so that Spotify/Pandora promote it in your algorithmic feed. It's audio skimpflation!

In this instance, what mistake did you make here exactly? Are you in process for those certifications? Is there any plan to achieve them?

Or was the mistake saying you held a certification that you thought wasn't important to most people?

Mistake was using LLM generation.

I think it's pretty common to blame your parents for something or other, no matter how you end up no?

Of course there will be gaps where they failed you, they're human, expecting YOUR parents to be perfect is just unrealistic expectations. Seeing that failure as something more than just a part of life though is unrealistic.

Yes, your parents failed you, in many ways, because they're human, and it would be impossible to not screw something up unless they're omniscient.
