In January, a partially AI-generated song became a talking point when it was the most played in Sweden but was stopped from the official Swedish top list. The question of AI music is a hot topic in the industry, though the specific song involved has not been identified. Armen Tayrizyan and Alexander Markianos are musicians and work for Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan in Västerås, where they help educate others in music.
They have only tested AI to create music, with SVT visiting their studio to see and hear how the talk about AI music is going. SVT asked Armen Tayrizyan and Alexander Markianos to test the phenomenon of AI music, and the result was a song titled 'En dagishit'. Tayrizyan and Markianos see problems with AI music hindering the creative process and potentially attracting fewer people to learn to play instruments or create music in a traditional way.
Now you can sit down at a computer, write a little, and then you have a song that will become better than what you might have been able to do in many, many years.
' The exact reasons for the song's exclusion from the top list remain unclear, and the broader impacts of AI on music education are still being assessed.
