Embracing AI in Music with a Smile (and a Bit of Worry!)
Hey everyone, Joel here
You know, the music scene is changing faster than my ability to keep up with my kids’ energy levels... With AI technologies like Udio shaking up the industry, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and a tiny bit of anxiety. So, let’s dive into this wild world of AI-generated music and figure out how we, the real-life maestros, can groove along without missing a beat!
Of course I had to try out Udio to see what it could do.
Listen to the result; "The world of letssubmit" 🤣
AI's New Tunes: A Revolution in Music Making
Imagine a world where your next hit could start from a simple text prompt. That’s what AI like Udio is bringing to the table. It’s like having a super-powered bandmate who never sleeps and always has fresh ideas. But don’t worry, it hasn’t figured out how to pull off a perfect stage dive... yet.
Near Future
In the short term, I like to think of AI as the ultimate jam partner. It’s there to spice up your sessions and maybe even challenge you to try out sounds you never thought you’d like. For those of us making a living from music, this means we get to experiment more and maybe find our next big sound with a little help from our AI pals.
Down the Road
As we look further ahead, things get interesting—or weird, depending on how you see it. Will AI redefine what we think of as music? Maybe. But here’s the deal: No matter how many algorithms jam out, they can’t replace the heart and soul we pour into our tunes. So, let’s use these tools to enhance our craft, not replace it.
A Message to My Fellow Musicians: Keep Your Cool and Carry On
To all my musician friends out there feeling a bit jittery about this AI invasion, let me say this: Your unique vibe, the stories you tell through your music, and that unmistakable human touch? That’s your superpower. AI can't mimic the way you connect with your audience or the passion that drives you. Let’s see AI as our backstage tech crew, not the main act.
Conclusion
Alright, team, let’s not fret too much (pun intended) over our AI bandmates. I think they’re here to push us to new heights, not push us off the stage. Keep creating, keep sharing your soul through your music, and remember, in the great concert of life, there’s always room for one more song—especially if it’s from you. Let’s rock this AI revolution with a smile and maybe a little bit of a headbang!
Oh, and by the way this blog image cover is of course AI made. 😌
Until next time

The AI-generated lyrics for yalls big pleasure
Verse
Hey there, artist, grab your mic, let's ride,
On letssubmit, where the music vibes collide.
Submit your tracks, let the curators decide,
If your sound's gonna fly or if it's gonna hide.
Chorus
letssubmit, oh, it’s the musical hit,
Where dreams are made, and the beats never quit.
Upload your song, see if it's a fit,
In the world of letssubmit, where the passion's legit.
