Hi Brian,
there is not an easy answer to this because AI is already so multi-facetted. I personally don’t know all of the AI solutions on the market but some of them (e.g. Udio, Sumo) write your lyrics and your music. All the so-called “songwriter” needs to do is press a button and robots do the rest. Then you have the lyricists who write creative lyrics and let the same AI tools generate suitable music. You can take that to the next creative level by using complex prompts and meta-tags to create chord progressions, complex backing vocals, etc. with these same AI tools. I’ve also worked with AI voice generators, which are kind of like your vocalist who sings your lyrics and vocal melody. I would compare these to a NI (Native Instruments) sound. All of these tools are AI-driven but totally different.

I support the idea of having a separate section for AI generated MP3s. Why? Because it takes around 3 minutes to generate a song with AI. If I wanted to, I could post at least 10 AI songs per day here. If 5 other people did the same that would be way over 50 songs per day. On the other hand, writing and producing the traditional way takes hours, if not even days. If it takes me 2-4 weeks to write and record a song, I’d like to see it in a forum for a while to allow everybody to notice that the song is there and give others the chance to give me feedback. Currently the traditional songs get lost in the flood of AI songs. If there were two sections, I would post in both of them. The question is, which songs go into which section. I would love to see songs where AI tools generate the music and/or lyrics in a separate section.

If you really want to get more people to interact here, you should get them to follow the existing guidelines (Post respectful and insightful comments. Don’t flame, hate, spam.). I know a number of people who are reluctant to post here because some people don’t follow these rules.
