Yesterday I was steered to the music of Grace Unveiled Music on YouTube. Great words and professionally produced music. And, apparently, AI generated or at least AI is used in the production (as per information on their YouTube channel). I spent a good hour listening to the music. The style is one I enjoy and the words were expressive of much Christian doctrine.
The Facebook friend who steered me to the music generated a bit of comment. One commenter asked – “Is it all AI generated like the graphics?” Good question. Here is my own comment regarding this area:
“On YouTube there is an indication that this is AI generated. A great discussion point. Consider the move towards enjoyment of AI generated music. People are accepting content and not so much needing human authorship to validate the songs. Or there is the hybrid model. One of my boyhood friends has placed his poetry on YouTube using AI generated music. He uses a delivery system (AI) to make his poetry accessible.”
Which takes me back to the debate in the Reformation regarding the content of sacraments being affected by the delivery of the sacraments by carnal priests. Did the delivery method invalidate the sacrament?
OK, there is much more theological debate here. But maybe this is a start.
