I say this as a software developer and producer/dj hobbyist with a solid understanding of AI and it’s pitfalls:
I genuinely have not had any kind of positive experience with LLMs and music writing. I hate Suno but it is at least trained on music. It can kinda approximate the target.
But asking an LLM about music production has yielded so much garbage (likely because it has been trained on garbage- the music producer influencer sphere is notoriously full of bad and anti-creative advice).
It’s generally ok for music theory, but ask for say, a sound design walkthrough and you’re gonna be left scratching your head. Ask it for arrangement advice and you’re gonna get incredibly generic advice. It hallucinates workflows and plugins between DAWs (i.e. suggesting using an Ableton plugin in FL). And like sure, I can
So, I don’t think we’ve synthesized the requirements for getting a music production teacher out of llms yet. And to be clear, I hate where ai is taking the world and that it’s forcing questions about human authorship, but I’m also not a “everything it outputs is wrong” person. Just this specific use case isn’t there yet.
