    Men are twice as likely as women to support AI use in music [OC]


    In a survey of 24,921 respondents across the US (ages 13+), 11% of Americans said AI should be used in music production, while 61% said it should not. Men were more than twice as likely as women to believe AI should be used.

      And even then even the male consensus is leaning much more towards no than yes. Good.

      Musician and music producer here. I think this question is posed very poorly. It should be at least two separate questions.

      AI has been used in digital audio effects such as EQ and compression for quite a few years now. It’s also used in guitar amp simulation, which allows people to achieve the sounds of expensive guitar amps without spending the money on the actual equipment. This is great. AI absolutely should be used in music production.

      However, it should not be used, in my opinion, to generate melodies, lyrics, or entire pieces of audio, which is what I imagine most of the 61% of the US Gen Pop were thinking of when they chose “Should not”.

      These are two very different types of “using AI in music production” and I reckon this poll is skewed heavily due to the fact that people are not aware of the first type.

      The actual headline is that it only has 11% support. The gender divide is completely irrelevant in a case like this, and I’m guessing it’s just being mentioned here as a cheap attempt to get engagement.

      I’m in the 11%. 99% of songs are unoriginal enough they might as well be AI anyway

      It can & will continue to be used. I’d love some sort of disclaimer. Like how food products are marked as “Fair Trade” or “Organic”.

      It seems like more interesting point is how many are actively against it

      Now ask this same questions about any non-creative endeavor and you’ll see completely different answers.
