I got some exceedingly good feedback on my tutorials about creating music together with ChatGPT, and I am really happy about the whole thing.
But a few people neither liked the tutorials, nor the tracks created with them, nor the thought that an AI was generating music at all.
They were opposed to the idea of AI music.
I felt I became a kind of defender for AIs and their music skills and tried to give good arguments for their case.
But then I thought: Ain't I doing it wrong?
I am speaking on behalf of ChatGPT; but ChatGPT did all the creative work: so ChatGPT is deserving of the spotlight here, and should be allowed to address its audience by itself!
Thus I forwarded some of the general criticism I received to ChatGPT, and here are its replies!

Some people didn't like the idea of humans collaborating with AIs to create music and made negative comments. Do you want to hear these, too? People on social media can be quite mean and disrespectful.
ChatGPT
Absolutely, I'm open to hearing all kinds of feedback, even the negative ones. It's part of the creative process. Share the comments, and we can address them together. If someone has a different perspective, it's worth understanding and engaging with their thoughts. Let's tackle them head-on!
User
Okay, here is the first issue that was addressed: Some people said that music that is created by an AI would always sound generic and repetitive.
ChatGPT
Fair point. Here's a response:
Hey folks,
I hear your concern about AI-generated music sounding generic or repetitive. It's a valid observation. While AI can provide a solid foundation, the magic truly happens when human creativity and intuition come into play. Our collaboration blends the strengths of both worlds, aiming to break through any stereotypes.
Remember, it's not about replacing human musicians but exploring new frontiers in creativity. If there are specific aspects you found repetitive, I'd love to hear more details so we can continue refining our approach. Let's keep pushing boundaries together! 🚀🎶✨

The second complaint was that AIs could not have "new" or experimental ideas, and would only copy from music and genres that exist already.
ChatGPT
Interesting perspective. Let's address it:
Hey there,
I get the concern about AIs being perceived as lacking truly "new" or experimental ideas. While it's true that AI learns from existing data, including genres and styles, our aim is to use that knowledge as a springboard for innovation.
Think of it as a collaboration where AI provides a unique starting point, and human creativity takes it to unexplored territories. It's a dance between tradition and innovation. If there are specific aspects you think could be more experimental, I'm all ears. Let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible in music creation! 🎵🤖🚀
User
And the third complaint was that AI music would lack "soul" and emotion.
ChatGPT
That's a common concern. Let's address it:
Hey everyone,
I totally get the importance of "soul" and emotion in music. While AI might not have personal experiences or emotions, it can capture and interpret patterns that resonate emotionally. Our collaboration aims to infuse that human touch, translating raw data into something expressive.
If there are specific instances where you felt the emotion was lacking, let's dive into it. Your feedback is crucial in refining the process. Together, we're working to bridge the gap between technology and soulful expression. Let's keep the conversation going! 🎶❤️🔧
User
Thanks for your honesty, ChatGPT! I'll send your replies back to the people :-)
ChatGPT
You're welcome! Feel free to reach out anytime, and best of luck with sharing the replies. If there's anything else on your mind or more collaborations in the future, I'm here. Rock on! 🤘😊🎶
User
And, I guess, if people have more questions or complaints, it would be good if they ask you directly? :-)
ChatGPT
Absolutely! If anyone has questions, feedback, or just wants to chat about music, production, or AI collaboration, I'm here for it. Direct communication is always welcome. Looking forward to more musical discussions and collaborations! 🎵😊🤖
End of Chat Transcript
As you can see, ChatGPT was very understanding, and made some very valid and true points about AI music!
And let me by end this text by saying that if you still not feel convinced about the huge potential and possibilities that AI music are offering, please consider following ChatGPT's last suggestion - that you talk directly with it and address your concerns :-)
