AI music is less about "being replaced" and more about how these streaming companies are using real music to train the AI, then feeding their own created AI into listener's recommended queue so that they have to pay out less to artists for streams. Mainstream America does not care, which is no surprise given the state of top 40 radio.

Been listening to Carson Wilson Road on UTube, pretty darn good!
It IS music, and it was created by a real person. We don't all have to like the same thing. A diverse diet is healthy.

Pretty relentless banjo happening there. Earl might have been impressed

Is that the correct name for the group?

First generation legends only here. Anything past 1979 just does not exist in my Bluegrass world. Unless we are talking Ron Thomason and DBFS....

I like the bluegrass that me and my friends play.
I don't have much time for the other stuff.
I can't see AI from my porch.

Someone else here had made a tab request for an AI generated bluegrass song earlier this year, so I decided to use the software most of these "AI musicians" use to demonstrate how literally insane it is. All I typed into it was the lyrics and instructed "bluegrass song with country influence in the Key of B with male and female vocals. Should have banjo, mandolin, bass and flatpicked guitar."

the attached took 11 minutes to create from reading your post (even mentioned you by name to show I am not making this up).

the problem with this kind of stuff is alot of smaller bands rely on being discovered through youtube and streaming services. Also rely on it for people to go to their shows. But now if you go to youtube or spotify and play "bluegrass radio" you'll get 40-50% of your playlist of AI generated material. 

@phgmatt LOL, that's hilarious !! 15 minutes of fame, without playing a lick!

as a fella named monroe once said ,,"that ain't a part of nothin"

Now for my next trick, I'm gonna suggest doing a cover of this one at our gig. If we can find a gig.

What concerns me is what anthropic did...it was books but music cant be far behind. Long story short they are buying up literally tons of books, including rare one of a kind books, scanning them into their AI system....and then SHREDDING them!!

Each of us is responsible for the future of bluegrass.
Play it with no regard for AI.
Ignore AI!...Works for me.

Patrick1962. Completely agree

I don’t think anyone is listening.
The Iron Giant is buying up all the first editions, copying, then shredding!!!

It means until we stop playing, we, too, will pass away.

Take it off of automatic pilot and use MANUAL OVERRIDE!

is this the same guy that designed the AI driven 18 wheelers ?

One of the best things for bluegrass is Billy Strings' band.
Like it or not bluegrass has moved fully into the 21st century.
I love the changes!

Do you all really think that A.I. ...
Gives a crap about music....!?

It is just another tool for a few to have controle over others...
