The boyBoy band Seventeen is among the greatest artists in the genre who have utilized technology to write songs and produce music videos.
The South Korean quintet became one of the most successful K-pop artists in history last year, having sold about 16 million CDs. However, Maestro, their most recent album and single, is the one generating the most buzz.
AI-generated scenes are featured in the song video, and it’s possible that the lyrics on the album are also AI-generated. One of the band members, Woozi, informed reporters before the album’s Seoul release that he was “experimenting” with artificial intelligence (AI) while writing songs.
“Instead of complaining about technology, we want to grow with it, so we practiced creating songs with AI.”
Instead of merely being unhappy with this technological advancement, we must take advantage of it. I experimented with AI and tried to weigh its advantages and disadvantages.
Fans were divided on K-pop discussion pages; some felt that more rules should be put in place before the technology became commonplace.
Some, like Ashley Peralta, who is an enormous fan, were more receptive. The 26-year-old said, “If AI can help an artist overcome creative blocks, then that’s OK with me.”
But if an album is made entirely of artificial intelligence-generated lyrics, she worries that fans will lose interest in their beloved vocalists.
“I love it when music is a reflection of an artist and their emotions,” she states. K-pop musicians are held in higher regard when they exhibit it hands-on it.
