"In two days, I had composed a song that I could actually feel was mine," Southern said."It means that I don't necessarily have to rely on other people."Amper is part of about a dozen start-ups using artificial intelligenceThe company's co-founder and CEO, Drew Silverstein, said the aim is not to replace human composers but rather to work with them to reach their goal.
The Amper app allows a user to pick a genre of music and a mood before spitting out a song. The user can then change the tempo, add instruments or switch them out until the result is satisfactory. She acknowledged, however, being terrified her album would be panned when it came out, as was the case with other innovations in music, like synthesizers or software to help artists sing right.
"They can find patterns, but they're not, like humans, particularly good to go beyond what they've been trained for. They are tools."
