Is there really no soul in there?

Hello all!

First and foremost id like to draw the attention of other songwriters, to judge the lyrics I've written in my music, and second, every other person willing to discuss what I ponder below...

Ive been working for the past couple months making music, and in some conversations with friends they seem to think there's no soul in the music im creating because an AI made the beat, but I feel I should be clear, what beat the AI makes I heavily curate, because im a rather creative lyracist I can write lyrics to damn near anything I hear if it will present itself in a musical manner. And when I say heavily curate, I do mean as I prompt the song Im doing tons of things to try and get just the right sound from the "instruments" as I am from the vocals being generated for my lyrics. Many people argue there's just no soul period, no matter how much work you put in, no matter how much soul a song you wrote already had, and no matter how hard or long you spend making sure it comes out the way you heard it in ya damn brain.

Well I beg to differ! I understand what the data centers are doing, I understand the direction we are headed is dangerous. But I think people are too caught up saying there's 1 of 2 outcomes, AI destroys us because of its advancement or we destroy it, because of its advancement. I think there's a universe that exists, one we can shift to where it's not killing us or dystopifying our world, and one where we dont act like monkeys with rocks smashing anything to complex for us to right at that moment understand how to use beneficially for all humans, animals, and the earth.

Be the judge if my music has any soul... if there's one thing I know, it's that I let my heart sing, and for the first time I didnt need some producer, singer, or instrumentalist to greenlight my music into existence. And to those who said id never make music, that my songs weren't any good. Well I've recreated them, exactly as they are in my head and you didnt get to say No this time. I no longer need approval, to simply do what I've always dreamed

I think this discussion is one worth having. I also have a Podcast, where I often talk about a variety of subjects including AI. All support is deeply loved and appreciated!
