It was my intention to write an insightful expose this week on the shortcomings of AI-generated music. Having heard Aisis, with its Liam Gallagher artificial intelligence vocal, it’s clear it has a bright future generating mediocre dross. Ah, the bitter word.
I was going to focus on what AI music can’t do. The list is long: A lot of our favourite music depends on odd qualities: bitterness for a start, regret of course, envy, hate, jealousy, and revenge, a cornucopia of biblical shortcomings. But then I realised it is almost Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday and I saw it; Willie Nelson is everything AI will never be.
