I’m sure people have very diverse views on the use of AI to create things. My view is that AI is tool to help us all create things that we may not have done before. In work I use it to help complete tasks that used to take me much more time and deliver functional results for my clients faster.

In my creative time I have been experimenting with using it to create music. This is a multistep process for me.

• Thinking through what genre or band I want to try to emulate.
• What I want a song to say on the concept level.
• Feed as much context as I can think of into an AI to write lyrics.
• Review those lyrics and tweak them by either providing how I want them adjusted back into AI or making the adjustments in a document myself.
• Put the lyrics together with a style description in a music generation AI like Suno to get the first version of the song produced.
• Listen to what was generated, with Suno that means two variations based on the lyrics and style.

At this point either I am satisfied with the result or think through how I need to tweak the lyrics or style to get closer to what I was hoping for.

For me it is interesting to see how different a small tweak or even just running the same lyrics and style a second time can generate something completely different from the first run.

Here is a song related to Minecraft, called Crafting, where I used the same lyrics but adjusted the style through multiple iterations.

I hope this inspires you to try out some AI to see what it can help you create for sharing or just for your own enjoyment!
