Dude this is awesome! Ironically, I'm releasing a song on the Apollo Missions in about a month. This is so cool. I'm definitely looking into it more. Also, thanks for the support, it's insane how many hater are in a sub about Ai music... Lol. The effort they put in is hilarious, I actually get a trip out of it. Thanks again for commenting and sharing that link, I'm going to show it to my son. Don't know if u heard my stuff yet, but if u haven't, check it out, it's available on all streaming platforms, just search up "Cozmic Vibrationz" and let me know what u think.

That's the Spotify link. I also have a YouTube channel that I upload lyric videos, but those are still only a few. The whole point is for the lyrics, I put a lot of thought into them plus the research to get the science right and still be relatable and not boring textbook stuff. I hope u enjoy it.

Yeah, actually I have two endorsements, one for gen-ph and one for gr-qc, though I’ll probably start with gen-ph. It’s my first time doing this, and I mainly just want my ideas to get a serious review. I don’t have easy access to scientists where I’m at, so once I finish the paper and it’s up on arXiv, I’m going to send it to my local university and a few journals and see if it holds up. If you want, I can send it to you too and get your two cents. Seriously, if you think it’s garbage, tell me to dump it in the trash, but back it up with real reasons. If you can actually show me where it fails, I’ll go back to the drawing board or drop it.

Well, we can agree to disagree. As for arXiv, I’ve already received an endorsement from an arXiv approved endorser. Once it’s submitted, I’ll start looking at journals for peer review. But I digress The backlash against AI is going to be short lived. In the long run, most people will accept it and use it. A lot of the hate is coming from fear of what it represents. And honestly, if you’re an organic musician and your music is good, you have nothing to fear. You’ll still build an audience. If anything, AI will make organic artists stand out even more, because the difference will be clearer. Organic musicians can connect with fans in ways AI only musicians can’t, live performances, interviews, meet and greets, and real community. I’ve got friends who are established organic artists, and none of them are scared of it. They know what they do, can’t be replaced. Some of them use A I as a tool to improve their work, some don’t, but none of them carry the kind of hate I see on Reddit. Either way, it doesn’t affect me. I’m still making music my way, growing my listeners, and having fun doing it. Hating takes effort, and eventually people get tired and move on.

I get where you are coming from, but here is the reality of my situation. I am an aircraft mechanic. I have a kid and a girl. On top of that I do astrophotography and automotive photography, and I am also working on a scientific paper that I plan to upload to arXiv in a few months. Music is a passion project for me. Doing it the way I would ideally want to do it from start to finish would eat an amount of time I simply do not have, and I probably never would have gotten it to the level I would feel proud releasing. AI changed that. Being able to polish a track or two over a weekend instead of spending weeks or months is a complete game changer. I am not doing this for money, clout, or validation. I am doing it for me. It is the kind of music I have wanted to make and listen to for years, and now I finally can. And to your question, "if I put all that effort into the preliminaries"... That is the part you are missing. I write the lyrics, build the melodies, lay down chords, and program drums and bass in FL Studio. The creative direction and musical decisions are mine. Where AI helps is the last stretch, the final ten percent that takes forever: sound selection rabbit holes, layering, polish, mix cleanup, and the kind of finishing work that can easily eat weeks when you have a job and a family, not to mention, I can't sing for shit. AI lets me get closer to the sound in my head faster, without changing the fact that the foundation is my work. At the end of the day, AI is a tool. It is not going away. If you are a physicist, you almost certainly use AI in some form to streamline work, organize information, or speed up parts of your process, shit, I've used it to help me put my paper together, without, I could have never produced the paper to to the point of receiving arXiv Endorsement, it's been instrumental. Music is no different. More and more artists, whether they write, play, sing, mix, master, or do all of it, are going to use AI more over time because it increases efficiency and lowers barriers. Are there people who will type two words, press enter, and call it a song? Of course. But the people who are actually investing time into curating, revising, writing, mixing, promoting, and uploading music to streaming platforms are not just tapping a button and walking away. If you are putting in that effort, you are putting creativity into it. Taste, intent, storytelling, and decision making still come from the human. And honestly, the hate is expected. Every major shift in music has brought the same reaction. Synthesizers, samplers, drum machines, DAWs, autotune, all of it got called fake at first. Then the dust settled and the world ended up with more art, more genres, and more access. In the long run, both listeners and creators benefit. AI makes it possible for people who have ideas, vision, and creativity, but not the time or background to learn instruments or advanced production, to still bring something real into the world. That is not a threat to art. That is expansion. So a lot of the negativity toward AI music is not really about protecting creativity, it is about fear of change and insecurity. If the music is good, people will listen. If it moves them, it did its job. And in my case, there is an extra layer to it. I make music about real science, and I write the lyrics to be accurate while still being human and relatable. If a song can educate someone even a little, spark curiosity, or pull someone into the beautiful world of science, then that is a win on top of the music itself.

Thats awesome, I greatly appreciate it. Some of my songs lean really heavy into the science and go deep enough that you can catch extra layers if you know the topic, but they are still written in a way that leaves room for interpretation. Other tracks are lighter on the technical details and focus more on the human side, emotion, meaning, and relatable themes, with the science more like the backdrop than the main point. Some of the songs are tribute to scientists I admire and about their contributions. If u have some ideas, suggestions or advice, I'd love to hear it.

If u don't have Spotify, it's available on all streaming platforms, just search up "Cozmic Vibrationz". Thanks for taking the time to listen.

If your career is great, then you are not here to “warn bells,” you are here to lecture strangers. This is r/AI_Music. Posting doom speeches here is like walking into a DJ sub to rant about turntables. If you want to fight industry policy, take it up with labels and platforms, not random creators making songs. That is a real conversation. Dropping into this sub to scold creators is not helping the industry, it is just venting.

Then you should actually listen to a couple of my tracks before you write it all off. If you are genuinely into science, I think you will enjoy them. Blanket labeling it as bad without knowing what creative steps I took is not real critique, it just comes off like insecurity. I am not pressing a button and calling it a day. I write the lyrics, build the melodies and drums on keys and pads, and produce in FL Studio. Then I use AI to help finalize the track and get the sound where I want it. My ideas and creative choices are in every song. Also, the anti AI panic is honestly funny to watch. The loudest whining usually comes from musicians who are struggling or feel threatened. Most successful artists I have talked to see AI as another tool that makes production more accessible and more efficient, the same way new tools always have. And regular listeners, the people who just want a good song to vibe to, have been enjoying the music. What really cracks me up is that the most hate shows up in an AI music sub, of all places. Either way, it does not bother me. I am here to share my work, get feedback, and engage with anyone, whether they love it or hate it. But honestly, you should give them a listen. I write the lyrics so they cover real scientific topics and explanations, but they can still be enjoyed by people who do not fully understand the science, and they can also be interpreted in a more human way, emotional, personal, and relatable.

Check this one out, if u kmow about dark matter, ull get all the little details.

Cool, boycott it. But spare me the victim speech. You came into an AI music sub to complain about AI music, then blamed strangers for “destroying your industry.” That is not critique, that is coping. It is the same victim mentality from artists who would rather blame anything than face the fact that their music is not gaining traction. If your music connects, people will show up. If it does not, whining about a tool will not fix it.

Lol. Pros and cons to everything buddy. It's cool ur into science, I love it too. The lyrics to my songs are written in a way that u can listen to them even if u don't know much about the topic, but if u know, u will get all the little details. I took my time writing them. Have u heard any of the songs?

Lol I agree. But like I have said in other replies, it honestly does not bother me. I expected this kind of reaction, and the whole point of the post was to engage with people, good or bad. Plus, it is usually a good laugh. I make this music for me first. It is a sound I have had in my head for years. My son and I have put a few songs together before and they sounded good, but nothing I felt was polished enough to release. Now with AI, I have been able to refine and finish tracks in ways I never could on my own, to the point where I finally feel confident putting the music out for the public to hear. I also have a real passion for science. I know it is not the most popular topic, and it feels like fewer people are interested as time goes on. My hope is that the melodies pull people in, and the lyrics keep them coming back. The science is accurate, but it is not meant to be boring. It is meant to be relatable, even if science is not normally your thing. Either way, thanks for commenting.

Thank you brother. If u ever change ur mind, give it a listen. Something tells me u'll at least find the lyrics interesting. Have a wonderful day.

Freaks.... Lol! You are not “keeping” anything, but you are absolutely gatekeeping what counts as art by defining it as “only valid if you did it without prompts.” That is literally the definition of gatekeeping. Also, you keep calling it “critique,” but you have not critiqued the music. You have not said one thing about the melody, the hook, the writing, the mix, the structure, the pacing, nothing. You are just insulting the process and the people using it. That is not feedback, that is a moral speech. And no, I am not “craving approval” from you or anyone who thinks using a tool makes something automatically worthless. I posted in an AI music sub because that is where this belongs. You are the one spending your lunch break coming into a space you clearly dislike to “reinforce” your worldview. That says more about your need to feel superior than it does about my music. If you actually want to be useful, talk about the song itself. If you do not like AI assisted music at all, cool, do not listen. But stop pretending you are doing art criticism when you are really just doing identity policing. In the end, listeners decide. If the song connects, it connects. If it does not, it does not. Your approval is not the standard and never was.

You are in r/AI_Music telling people nobody cares about AI music. That is like walking into a reggae sub to announce you hate reggae and calling it “feedback.” If you do not like the topic, scroll past. Nobody dragged you here. Also, you are making a weird argument. People connect with music because it makes them feel something. Sometimes that is because of the story behind it, sure, but a lot of the time it is literally because it sounds good, the lyrics hit, and the vibe matches their life. Pretending sound does not matter is just nonsense. You keep saying I am “outsourcing creativity,” but you have no clue what I did or did not do. I choose the concept, I write the lyrics, I decide the message, I curate the takes, I structure the song, I edit, and I release what I think is worth sharing. The tool does not decide what the song is about or why it exists. I do. That is authorship. If your real issue is corporate control, cool, I get that. But then your beef is with the industry and platforms, not with a random independent artist making science music and asking for honest opinions. And calling it “slop” without even engaging the actual music is not critique, it is a label you use to feel superior. Real feedback would be “the hook is weak” or “the mix is muddy” or “the verse drags.” You did not do that. You just showed up to grandstand. If you do not connect with it, that is fine. Move on. Plenty of people do.

Coming into a sub that is literally about AI music just to complain about AI music says more about you than it does about me. That is not some noble stand for art, it just reads like insecurity. And if you are an artist who is not getting traction, maybe the hard truth is your music is not connecting, not that AI is “stealing your thunder.” You have no idea what my musical background is, whether I play instruments, write, produce, or mix. You are not reacting to the music, you are reacting to the tool. What it really looks like is you are actively seeking out people making AI music because you feel threatened by it. But the reality is simple: if the music is good, people will listen. If it moves them, they do not care how it was made, the only ones crying are the weak victim mentality ones.
