I found the AI art conversation particularly pertinent to me this week.
See, when I was in school, I preferred art class over music, but only because my detail-oriented mind had no problem "printing" what I see. I do have the artistic skills necessary to make my own renditions. In a sense, generative AI images made my self expression "quicker" but at the cost of "vision". And, as expressed before, I tend to be picky about the end result. As a result, I don't really use it all that often, and tend to be vigilant to "lazy uses".
So, recently, a friend showed me Generative MUSIC AI at udio.com - and honestly, I cannot possibly describe the transformational experience I had with it.
You see, I LOVE music, but because of my "bottom up" approach, I find composing and creating music uniquely difficult. I love music so much, I have entirely "made up" music playing in my head a lot of the times, but zero idea on how to get it out of my head.
It's uniquely comforting to make a deep feeling more "real" than before through expression. Generative Music has provided me a unique ability to express myself, that, I suspect, many musicians will disagree is genuine.
It doesn't matter though because after this experience, what matters most with art is the feeling of sharing a piece of your soul - something uniquely your own.
And despite what ableists might say, being unable to compose a piece note by note should not bar one from making music in this world.
