If a song -- that extremely engages you -- was generated by an AI:
1)Would you want to know in advance?
2)Would it change your reaction, if you found out that it was machine-created?
3)Should an AI-generated song be awarded equal awards?
A version of this question was asked to WSJ readers, covering all arts, including paintings, songs, novels and movies.
Some replies were interesting:
It isn't art. AI has no soul! How much did AI help? Unfair Competion. Only a tool. If it moves you; don't question it. I can tell the difference. SAG/Aftra. Mixed blessing.
Yes, we can remind each other that 'music' has been algorithm-ized many decades ago and we can chatter regarding some of the salient points in these 3 simplified questions.
My short answers would have to be:
1)Yes,
2)Yes, and
3)No.
