    If this album does well, JNH could do something similar for other scores of his, like his Disney movies

    Hahaha I'm going insane because I can't actually believe we are getting this!
     
    Are you bloody kidding me?
     
    It's like JNH asked me personally what I'd love to have from him and he just said "sure, no probs."

    Not only TLA is a good score, but also, like many JNH/MNS scores, some of the best cues are still unreleased. This, for example, is just gorgeous:

    Good. Few more missteps like this and people will want their physical media back. 😄

    Starting in 2024, you'll be obligated to watch ads on Amazon Prime. Don't like the ads? Then you'll have to pay an extra fee.

    Edmilson got a reaction from Gabriel Bezerra in A Disney director tried - and failed - to use an AI Hans Zimmer to create a soundtrack   
    My opinion on that subject matter is that: I'm not a fan of Lorne Balfe's or Junkie XL's music. But I wouldn't like to see any of them, as well as other musicians who depend on their work to earn their living, be out of work because some billionaire CEO decided to save a few bucks by using A.I.
     
    According to Balfe himself, he used over 500 musicians to perform on Dead Reckoning. I wasn't a fan of the score, but so what? Firstly, many people liked it, and secondly, at the very least 501 people (including Balfe, lol) were paid for their art.
     
    Either Hollywood kills A.I., or at least establishes some well defined limits for it, or soon many people will find themselves starving.

    That's how I tend to think of Goldsmith's score for The Omen. Not a *bad* film by any stretch, but absolutely one that every time disappoints me because I don't think it lives up to its promises. A synopsis and Goldsmith's score one their own paint a much grander picture in my mind than the film actually delivers.

    I feel like WALL-E is probably the most accurate prediction of the future: Earth will become a junkyard and the few lucky billionaires will live in a spaceship controlled by AI who will do everything for them while they sit to watch AI-produced crap and grow more and more fat.

    To me… the point is… I can really picture Zimmer doing the experiment himself as his next score gimmick. “Hey this is a film about AI so i got an AI to write music like my own!”(And people would be raving about how cool and inspired zimmer is…) and he would have sold it as “music produced by hans zimmer”  or something.
     
    for all we know he was not reacheable to comment because he is angry he did not come with the idea himself 😜

    I appreciate the Cassandra-approaching-chicken-little-level of dismay about generative AI in the creative sphere. When ChatGPT broke into the popular consciousness back in February, I was aghast at the implications and not a single development since then has changed my view on the perils of this technology. 
     
    Ive said it before and I’ll say it again—there are some things humans can do that should simply not be done. We, for example, mutually agreed as a planetary society not to spend our time and energy developing chemical or biological warfare agents. Imagine if we hadn’t, though. The technology has been around for a century to do exactly such things and if we had chosen to race towards designing the “best” in biochemical agents, well, we wouldn’t have an Earth in 2023 with humans on it anymore. 
     
    By the same token, and like others have said above, if we keep racing to make the best generative AI, we’re going to put millions of people out of work. And that is a huge risk in so many ways—economically, of course, but also spiritually and socially. How many of us derive our identities from our professions or the jobs we do? What happens to ambition or the quest to mastery in a subject that gen AI has dominated at a fraction of the cost and time? You think society is on a knife edge now? Wait until AI puts millions of people into forced furlough with nothing to do but stew in their resentment at the tech elites responsible for the situation. There’s no universal basic income high enough to compensate for that. 
     
    Generative AI is an experiment that needs to die. It’s that simple.

    ^^^I second all of this^^^. I'm happy that a lot of people on here are speaking out against the use of A.I.
     
    In many artistic circles (composing, writing, illustration, etc.) the prevailing argument I see is "It's not as good." By and large this is true. In fact, it will always be true. But we have every reason to believe that the tech will improve to the point where the facsimile of a Williams/Zimmer/Elfman score will fool even trained ears.
     
    The argument should be on moral grounds. Even if a human and A.I. were capable of producing identical music, it's just...plain wrong. We're all we've got to fight for. The motive for A.I. producing art/music/etc. is half-"we can so we should" and half-monetary (well, probably mostly monetary). One would think that the human rights violation here would get through to even the coldest studio executive, but evidently not.
     
    The other thing is, A.I. is trained on existing data. Which means that anything it produces will, in some way, sound like what's come before. But the spirit of human art is that artists' creativity and sense of craft morphs and grows. Zimmer's work nowadays has changed so much from what it was in the '90s. If people aren't allowed to produce art full-time, the message being communicated is not only "We just want to go cheap," but also, "You don't deserve to grow as an artist. You don't deserve to use your own mind." That is the cruelest thing of all.
