I guess this is a 'woe is me' post, but I am so sad about what AI is doing to all creative job roles. Be it copy editing, proof reading, songwriting, authors, journalists, etc.
All creative jobs are seemingly viewed as replaceable. The minute you remove humanity from creativity, you are giving in.
So, as a shameless plug, here's the last song my band released, nearly 18 months ago. It has just over 150 views. Pitiful. There are so many more creatives out there, who are decent at what they do, and have much to give, but will never get a look in, if AI is allowed to go unchecked. Feeling very sad for our industry, right now.
If I could double-uppy this, I would. As a professional editor and budding (but terrible) poet, I completely concur with your thoughts about the impact of AI on the sector. Will be listening to this, keep creating!

Hard agree with so much of this. I'm not a creative person, but love listening to music, supporting others creativity, do 2 radio shows, going to gigs etc etc.
The thing with AI 'creativity', is that it is all terrible derivative crap. You look at any AI image on social media (god knows there is enough of it) and you can immediately tell it is AI. Same (in fact worse) with AI music - it sounds EXACTLY like it has digested loads of original music and then created a vanilla version of it, without any soul/individual flair/personality.
I can imagine just how demoralising it must be for anyone trying to scrape a living from their art, or indeed anyone just trying to find an audience, however small or niche that audience may be.
FWIW re your song, I have a bit of a personal aversion to britpop, so probably not the right audience for it, but it's a nice hooky bit of indie pop for those that would go for it and should have had a much bigger audience than it has.
I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun.
I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

Surprised that has so few views. I liked it, especially the backing music. Is there a version without the lyrics anywhere?
I think the AI genie is well out of the bottle. I keep seeing people say it's not very good or it's overhyped but I am using it more and more.
Genie out of the bottle was exactly the phrase that popped into my head too.
We humans tend to think we're so clever and we certainly enjoy the fruits of our invention. But we live on an essentially finite planet and within an essentially frozen (in relative timescale) biology and fragile psychology.
There's no way back from the good and bad consequences of rapidly advancing technology, because we can't evolve a self-regulating psychology within our human psyche that will enable us to limit what we do and rein in the consequences, no matter how logically obvious they are for almost everybody who cares to be honest with themselves. We want the toys and don't want to look at the credit card bill.
The dark consequences of our evolving inventiveness (souped up even more now by bringing the powers of our new AI toy into the game) might not be so bad if we had unlimited space to expand (or escape) into, but we don't.
Anyone who thinks regulations can solve or even mitigate anything in the ethereal world of effortlessly self-propagating binary and Moore's Law holding firm on GPUs, this former scientist of sorts and coder thinks is kidding themselves.
