48、cious to impart to technology.The thought of acomputer generating a“random piece of music that hasnt been painstakingly created byan artist is almost seen as sacrilegious(亵 渎 神 圣 的).Regardless of which side of the argument you fall on,it seems likely that the use of Alin music production will only b

49、ecome more frequent.Our modern world is preoccupiedwith technological advancements.Instead of shying away from the idea of this bleak future,the best approach to take is one of optimism and curiosity.While there are always bound tobe stubborn old-school musicians who refuse to use tech,music produce

50、rs should considerAI as something to be embraced.AI music software is still very much in its infancy,butwith more investors interested in the development and outcomes of such technology,andconsidering the rapid growth rate of other tech advances in recent years,its only a matterof time before AI-pro
