Will GPT / DALLE equivalent for music and voice will lead to better margins for Spotify (think private label music)?

That's a tricky question. I think it will because they are moving towards podcasts which is bringing their margin much higher. The second part is that voice generation will increase their CPM because of better targeting.

only if it changes the deal structure. if the majors dominate generated-music, then no.

Will there be equivalent to GPT/Dalle for music? 🤔

I think eventually, as of now I agree with @giu. Focus on podcasts and improve the experience for the creators and listeners seem to have a better edge now. Another area could be voice cloning to help podcasts, video creation, etc. Descript bought Lyrebird a long time ago, maybe now it has improved quite a lot.

Who needs Spotify when you can have your non-stop open source AI music tuned, composed and curated to your preferences? Labels might have something to say about this first though like what’s happening with ML’ed images at the moment (IP law suits). OG creativity remains, but everyday music?

Explosion of music (1000x more high quality music). The best will be decentralized, not white label produced by Spotify. Spotify will either resist out of respect for human artists, or embrace. If they resist, a new platform will replace them. If they fully adopt, I think their business improves.

This is something I’m very curious about and want to explore. Specifically, could generative AI be used to create the universal instrument that could generate any sound by describing it. I think this is going to be more interesting for unlocking creativity than generating whole songs. Imagine if anyone can make music

i think IP and copyright would be even more fked up than it is now if the velocity of music creation increases and everyone starts using the same models or data sets to generate a song 😅

I do think artists (graphical and musicians) also photographers will be outperformed very very soon. Clearly. Art will become a commodity and will be personal/tailored/bespoke according to an ongoing learning companion.

I think AI art serves a different purpose than human-created art, at least right now. I can see it disrupting stock music, podcast music... I guess "utility" music. But it's hard to imagine anyone having a meaningful connection with a song generated by a computer. Not ruling it out, but there's a chasm to cross.

Bulk of the demand for Spotify is music from majors, I don’t see how it gives Spotify better margins, but I can see the majors using it for sure
