Music that artificial intelligence is the new punk rock, according to Rick Rubin

Rick Rubinone of the most famous producers in the music industry, also decided to offer its 10 cents on one of the matters in vogue today: the use of artificial intelligence In art. And your opinion is positive.

Several artists condemn the presence of AI in this segment. Rubin, however, came out in defense of technology and presented his argument during participation in the program The Ben & Marc Show.

The producer, known for working with Slayer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, BEASTIE BOYSand Black Sabbathamong others, made a parallel between Ia and Punk. He said (via Neo Niche / Tmdqa):

“It’s the same idea as the democratization of a technology. In the past, to make music, you had to go to the Conservatory and study for years and years, and then you could play a symphony. And then when Punk Rock came up, you could may learn three chords in one day. And then all the bands came to participate.

Rubin adds:

“If you had anything to say, you could say it. You didn’t need an expertise or a set of skills, besides your idea and your ability to convey it. And ‘vibe coding’ is the same, it’s the punk rock of programming.”

Vibe Coding is one of the resources used in AI software. In it, the user becomes a kind of art director and AI works as a programmer, accelerating processes.

According to Rubin, access to artificial intelligence can facilitate the routine of people linked to music. As a result, it would allow more artists to launch their materials without having a record label from behind.

Björn Ulvaeus (Abba) uses in musical

Another enthusiast of the use of artificial intelligence in art is Björn ulvaeus. The singer, songwriter and Swedish producer, better known for the work with the AbbaHe said he was using artificial intelligence resources to create a musical.

The information was shared during a panel in the London edition of South by Southwest (via Variety). For the first time, the Festival of Culture, Technology and Innovation created in Austinin Texas (USA)happens in Europe.

During his speech, Ulvaeus tore compliments to the IA and praised the possibilities he has found. The 80 -year -old musician stated:

“At the moment, I’m writing a musical, aided by AI. It’s fantastic. It’s an excellent tool. It’s like having another composer in the room with a huge frame of reference. It’s really an extension of your mind. You have access to things you didn’t think before.”

Commenting on his experience, the Swedish artist stressed that not every result obtained with AI in music is perfect. However, the tool allows us to explore new paths and offer ideas hitherto not thought out during the creation process.

He commented:

“You can start with a letter you wrote about something and may be stuck in it, but you want this song to have a certain style. You can ask AI: How would you expand it? Where would you go from here? Usually, the result is bad, but sometimes there is something in it that gives you another idea.”

Other artists oppose artificial intelligence

Against the postures of Rick Rubin and Björn Ulvaeus, recently a group of more than 400 British artists signed a letter asking the prime minister asking Keir Strmer Update copyright laws in the face of artificial intelligence technologies in the United Kingdom.

According to the collective appeal of names such as Elton John, Dua Lipa, Coldplay, Florence Welch And others, AI represents a threat to the artists. In their view, such a resource precarious the music industry, film and compensation for various categories linked to art.
