The picture shows my main personalities; Ripsi Rebellion, with the Punk in his head who adores no gods, no masters, heavystoned, the writer with his special meanings about music business as a form of medieval feudal labor, Nocebo, the one-man-band-project who did quite different styles of music and Egonomic, the AI-project, who first did some Melodic Death Metal. As Nocebo, I could do some instrumental stoner, Etruscan music, Café del Mar and some Postrock with my limited musical skills. I have more ideas than skills. So I decided to try the AI, which turned out to be a dice game. 1/10 songs were accurate.
So the Punk was happy, the musician was astonished and the writer criticized the unsatisfactory production. In fact, it felt like something is missing like the missing quarter of a Pizza. It was not you who created art, it was a machine with a huge databank. But as a musician you also create music or art with all your experiences.
In my case, it means all the music I consumed since more than 50 years. And you need some persons who understand your prompts in a band, otherwise there will be no art or music.
Nocebo and Egonomic will never perform live on stage so for me, with a lack of narcism, I don´t miss the stage feeling I had with my former bands and as a teacher. And how could it be, that an AI-created song - with my lyrics about my beloved wife and or life - made me cry? It´s the music that counts.
Ripsi Rebellion isn´t a fan of "The journey is the destination", he prefers the destination, so all my personalities are happy with.
The result is: the musician with limited skills, the punk, heavystoned as the curious child are happy with AI. AI is a tool that not only makes the creation of lyrics easier, it also creates a good framework for the upcoming work of art.
AI expands your personality because it has stored other experiences and so far has its limitations in its experiences.
Actually, the point would be to be satisfied. If you use AI, you´re waiting for your expectations and your patterns, which you implant yourself in your brain for the past 50 years. AI-generated music cannot be really new, since the AI, as well as all search engines, are filled with human experiences and knowledge. In this respect, you are waiting for your own patterns and not really new. Similar to the "Angelus Novus" below, painted by Paul Klee in 1920, in retrospect, we use the past in our creativity and characterize it as something new. "Angelus Novus" is progressing and at the same time looking back towards the past.
