AI songwriting requires training on millions of songs across various styles and eras to generate new music. But this raises a question: isn't that exactly how we humans learn music? We listen to pop, classical, and mimic the styles of various composers before we can slowly start writing beautiful, sophisticated music. In other words, we are also using others' music to train ourselves. People claim AI only imitates and cannot surpass humans, but is it possible that we humans have been imitating all along? Don't we also need to listen to and analyze many existing songs? Some argue that because AI only copies based on existing works, it is inferior to humans. But if we hadn't heard others' music, hadn't mimicked or copied anything, could we really write a song out of thin air? Therefore, if you are making music simply by churning out a rock song today, a love song tomorrow, or whatever sells, AI will eventually replace all of that. Only by creating true art—works that are unprecedented and one-of-a-kind—can we truly distinguish ourselves from AI.
