I figured you'd be concerned about music generating AI.
Personally, I'm all for it. In the early days of image generation AI you'd see lots of wild abstract outputs from the intermediate layers/processes. If we can get music to sound like that I think it would be amazing.
The thing about algorithmically generated art is that it's basically a faucet - turn it on and get as much as you want. So there's a danger of oversaturation, but that's basically the case in a lot of genres of human-generated music already. It makes valuing art tricky.
The faucet (tap... I'm English) analogy is perfect and yeah... there are so many of us making music now that the arena is literally stuffed... maybe AI generated has a place..? I dunno. Not for me... yet.
I would like to experiment with Ai created music- are their any you would recommend?
Unfortunately I haven't found any AI-generated music that seems interesting.
I use Landr for a quick check during mixing to get an idea of any potential problems with the mix.
I think that's probably the best use of it... as some kind of guide.
It has its uses as a tool, but as has been mentioned already, I wouldn't use it to generate music.
I do see it as being useful in sample management software like Sononym to analyze and classify sample sounds.
AI can definitely 'see' things I can't in a spectral layer. It's not perfect, none of them are but mopping up after them is getting easier as they improve. I just know theres going to be a day that I can't distinguish between a human tune and an AI one and find that terrifying.
Thankfully, neither you nor I are making that kind of modern 'homogemastered' mainstream stuff.
