Here’s a prediction. Five years from now, “Made with AI” won’t be a selling point. Nobody will care. For the same reason nobody advertises: “Made with a spell checker.” Or: “Created with a digital audio workstation.” Tools eventually become normal. What people continue to care about is the outcome. Did the song move them? Did […]

I think we’re asking the wrong question about AI-generated lyrics. The question isn’t: “Can AI write songs?” Clearly it can. The real question is: “Can AI recognize when a lyric should be rewritten?” Those are completely different abilities. Writing creates options. Editing creates quality. One is generation. The other is judgment. Most debates focus on […]

The music industry spent years teaching artists to find their voice. Now we’re entering an era where the harder challenge is keeping it. AI can imitate styles. It can imitate structures. It can imitate emotions. What it struggles to imitate is lived experience. That’s why so much generated writing feels familiar. It borrows patterns without […]

The biggest advantage in music today has nothing to do with AI. It has nothing to do with better software. It has nothing to do with faster production. The biggest advantage is knowing what to reject. We’re living in an era where ideas are abundant. Lyrics are abundant. Melodies are abundant. Content is abundant. Everybody […]

A while ago, I decided to run a simple experiment. I generated a lyric using AI. Then I put it aside. A few days later, I read it again as if someone else had written it. My first reaction surprised me. It wasn’t terrible. It wasn’t brilliant either. It was something far more dangerous. It […]

Years ago, I shared a song I was genuinely proud of. I thought the lyric was clever. I thought the message was clear. I thought people would immediately understand what I was trying to communicate. One listener gave me feedback I’ll never forget. They said: “I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t feel anything.” […]

I once spent more time rewriting two lines than I spent writing the rest of the song. Not the chorus. Not the hook. Two lines. The frustrating part was that they weren’t bad. They made sense. They rhymed. They communicated exactly what I wanted to say. And yet every time I sang them, something felt […]

A lot of musicians are fighting the wrong battle. They keep asking: “Should artists use AI?” I think that’s the least interesting question in the entire debate. The better question is: “Can listeners tell when nobody cared?” Because they usually can. I’ve heard fully human-written songs that felt lifeless. I’ve heard AI-assisted drafts that contained […]

The most dangerous thing AI has done to songwriting isn’t what people think. It hasn’t stolen jobs. It hasn’t destroyed creativity. It hasn’t killed originality. It’s lowered our standards. A lot of writers now confuse completion with quality. A song gets generated. The verses rhyme. The chorus repeats. The structure looks right. And suddenly people […]

AI is not ruining music. Bad taste is. I’ve seen people blame AI for everything from weak lyrics to generic melodies. That’s convenient. Because it shifts responsibility away from the creator. Let’s be honest. Most forgettable songs were not written by AI. They were written by people. Long before ChatGPT existed, radio stations were already […]
