In Växjö, Sweden, a reporter from SVT created a 30-second cheerful pop song about summer using AI in just a few minutes. Four music students from the AMB education in Tingsryd were given the same instructions to create a similar song made by real humans. The two songs were then compared by asking Växjö residents for their opinions.
One resident, Isak Paulo Hjärtström, said he could not tell which song was AI but preferred the first one, believing music is about human connection. Music student Rebecka Nilsson expressed unease about the lack of a human behind the AI song. AI-generated songs have become increasingly common, with several reaching top charts on music streaming services, and it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish them from human-made songs.
