Teddy Swims has discussed the benefits of using AI when making music, especially when it comes to the songwriting process.
According to ABC AU, the "Lose Control" singer spoke at SXSW Sydney and called the technology "truly amazing" and "super helpful" in the times that he's used it during writing sessions.
Swims explained that while he was at the event in Australia, his producers in LA were able to use AI to change a song lyric.
"Rather than me going [to] the studio and doing the line 15 times and spending that time and money and effort, he's actually been able to go in and just change the word," Swims said.
The Georgia native added that while touring, he occasionally uses song prompts to reimagine songs in different genres while using AI.
"What we'll do is maybe just take an acoustic and write the melody and the lyrics and just get the song done and upload it into it and say, 'OK, I want to hear this song as a country song' or 'I want to hear this song as a rock and roll song,'" he explained.
"Instead of taking time to reproduce something over and over and over again in so many different ways that would take months sometimes to do, you can get the idea of what something would be fully fleshed out in this lane," Swims continued. "If you use it the correct way, I think it's a beautiful tool."
Another artist who's hyped the use of artificial intelligence is Timbaland, who's even promoted AI-generated artist Tata through his entertainment company Stage Zero.
Timbo's embracing of AI recently received pushback from producer Mike Dean, who implied the only reason Timbaland was promoting artificial intelligence in music was for financial gain.
