For just over two years now, AI has entered our lives through various mobile applications, funny videos with which to reinvent memes and even imagine dream collaborations. Initially, its objective is to streamline processes and make our lives easier like any technology, but it requires knowledge, improvement, dissemination and ethical use.
In the music industry, this tool has brought to the table issues such as the possible violation of copyright, as well as to what extent someone who creates songs from an algorithm can be considered an artist.
Some artists like Lola Índigo or Rauw Alejandro already shared their point of view on the Latin Grammy red carpet when the controversy arose with Bad Bunny’s great anger, after a totally invented song that used an artificial voice went viral. “If you like that shitty song that’s viral on Tiktok, get out of this group right now. You don’t deserve to be my friends and that’s why I made the new album, to get rid of people like that. So chu chu out. Charros. My God. I don’t want you on the tour either,” he said on his WhatsApp group.
Today, taking advantage of Danna’s new project, we wanted to ask the Mexican about what she thinks about Artificial Intelligence. “I have my moments where I get very scared, I say: ‘Oh, we are already living something that we saw as very far away.’ “Yes, I see it as an incredible tool within the industry. In general, it is a tool that helps a lot in certain things,” he reflects.
However, he confesses that he is “a strong defender of the natural and the tangible” when it comes to creating songs and sharing them. He explains that his way of making and understanding music is based on using organic instruments, and writing in his own handwriting, because that is how music conveys “a lot of truth.”
He admits, on the other hand, that applying AI “in music production it is interesting.” “I, for example, use my voice a lot to make instruments. So, it’s very cool If, suddenly, you don’t know how to play the flute or the trumpet, you record yourself and you can turn it into an instrument,” he says.
For all this, Danna is cautious: “Today everything we have at hand has AI and as a tool I think it becomes very general, I’m afraid that I’ll reach a point where we don’t know where this will lead.but I think that If we use it intelligently it can be of great help. —because technology, in the end, has to be used wisely and has its pros and cons—.”
