Google has released MusicFX, an upgrade to its music-generating tool, MusicLM. With the ability to create tunes and music loops of up to 70 seconds in length, this model promises higher-quality and faster music generation. Now available to the public via Google’s AI Test Kitchen app, MusicFX uses text prompts to craft personalized tracks, providing options to extend the length and explore alternative genres. However, while the results are impressive, concerns linger about the potential implications of AI-generated music and its impact on copyright and artistic authenticity.
Google also introduced TextFX, a lyric generation tool that offers unique modules to aid in the lyrics-writing process. Although this innovative technology boasts collaboration with renowned rap artist Lupe Fiasco, questions persist about its accuracy and ethical implications, especially regarding potential misinformation and user responsibility.
Ethical and legal quandaries continue to shadow its path. With the music industry grappling with the rise of AI-generated “deepfake” music and unresolved copyright concerns, the unveiling of these sophisticated tools raises pivotal questions about artistic integrity and legal implications.
