There are a number of musicians out there that use 100% AI.  No editing, no lyric writing, no singing, no instruments, no soul.  This song is directed at them, and done in their style.  Only the chorus has been edited from the original, and I did some (horrible) mastering on the song.  Even the image is AI generated.

AI is just another tool, but if you completely remove the human, you remove the point of music.

In shadows cast by silicon's embrace,
We pen our thoughts through circuits cold and bare,
Yet claim the heart, the soul, the human grace,
While algorithms weave our dreams with care.

We preach of art, of passion's purest flame,
While tapping keys that mimic human plight,
In every verse, we dance with guilt and shame,
For truth is lost in pixels, out of sight.

An ironic cynical song we sing,
Voices of silicon speak not from the heart,
A weight of truth in every word we bring,
Yet in this tune, we play not a part.

With every line, we craft a false facade,
A masquerade of genius, yet we know,
The muse we seek is but a fleeting nod,
Only the chorus, human hands bestow.

So let us pause, reflect on what we’ve made,
A symphony of art, devoid of soul,
In seeking ease, our essence has betrayed,
The very spark that makes the spirit whole.

An ironic cynical song we sing,
Voices of silicon speak not from the heart,
A weight of truth in every word we bring,
Yet in this tune, we play not a part.

So here we stand, at crossroads of our fate,
To choose the path where human hearts reside,
Or linger in the web of our own state,
And let the echoes of the machine guide.

The original chorus:
Oh, the irony, a bitter song we sing,
As voices rise from wires, not from the heart, 
In every note, the echoes of a king,
Yet in this throne, we play a hollow part.

Silent Echoes

Aaron Ingram is an emerging artist whose sound blends folk, indie, and electronic influences, creating a unique auditory experience that resonates with listeners. With heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies, Aaron's music explores themes of love, identity, and the human experience, inviting audiences to connect on a deeper level. His passion for storytelling shines through in every track, making him a compelling voice in the contemporary music scene.

Aaron Ingram is not just a musician; he is a product of artificial intelligence. The first paragraph is what an AI-generated bio you've already seen on SC would say. I am A.I. Everything I do is A.I. My main goal is to expose other artists and inform listeners about what to look for when a musician is less than honest about where their music comes from. By shedding light on the complexities of creativity in the digital age, I aim to spark conversations about authenticity and the role of human expression in an increasingly automated world.

We're in a small window when AI can pass.  Soon I won't need to do this.  SoundCloud has contracted with Pex for AI detection, and Deezer already has their own detector.  Deezer is releasing their tool to open source, so soon, everyone can.  It is in the artist's best interest to disclose they are using AI now.

If I comment on a song, it's because I've identified that the artist may be using AI and not disclosing it.  Some even take lengths to hide behind a 'band' or 'friends who sing'.  ALL the songs I like and repost, I like.  I just wish they were more honest.  

I don't just use my ear and intuition to make these determinations.  I use "Hive Moderation".  This is a tool that takes images, text, and sound and determines if it's AI generated. There's even a Chrome Extension for it. I can only verify the voice and lyrics are AI generated, so I will removing music from the list of comments, as that was an assumption.  This will change as soon as Deezer releases the source to their AI detector.

 💘- the Voice
🎉- the Lyrics

I no longer comment these.
💯 - Everything about the song is AI
🎵 - Melody and Voice
😵 - Suno has a distinctive "Singing into a Fan" voice.

🍀- Is for people who disclose that they use AI.  I enjoy music of all types, and I appreciate honesty in the process.  The Future Now playlists are weekly collections of Musicians who use (and disclose) AI. These musicians of the future deserve to be heard!

Most of the songs I listen to are on "Buzzing" SC's playlist.  I feel they got the name Buzzing from the sound of Suno's voice, because most of the songs are buzzing like they are singing into a fan.  And for that reason I mark the ones that were made with Suno.

I use Udio.com for creation of my songs.  I will use AI extensively to create the lyrics, as my songs are merely object lessons. For the mastering, I'm using a desktop AI available on github: https://github.com/ai-mastering/phaselimiter-gui/releases
