OpenAI is reportedly creating a new AI tool that can compose music from simple text prompts, collaborating with Juilliard School students to train its upcoming model.
Will OpenAI’s Music Generation Tool Be a Threat to the Music Industry?
This innovative tool will allow users to produce complete music tracks using text commands, similar to how AI can generate images or videos through apps like Sora 2. OpenAI envisions a system that could create guitar accompaniments for vocals or custom base tracks for artists to refine their music.
According to The Information, OpenAI is partnering with Juilliard students who are annotating music scores to help generate high-quality training data for this model. The tool might function similarly to Suno, a widely used AI music generator.
However, it’s still unclear whether this tool will launch as a standalone app like Sora 2 or be integrated within ChatGPT, similar to its image-generation features. It’s also unknown if the service will be free or subscription-based once released.
AI-generated music is already transforming the music industry, with individuals replicating the voices of famous artists and releasing those songs as originals. Platforms like Spotify and major labels are now taking action against AI-generated content. OpenAI also faced criticism earlier for using copyrighted characters in its Sora app.
Thus, the launch of OpenAI’s AI music generator could trigger major shifts in the music landscape. What’s your opinion on this? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
