Ⅲ.阅读理解
The rise of AI(artificial intelligence)music creators has brought fresh attention to the future of the music industry.Unlike traditional musicians who depend on instruments,creators such as Oliver McCann use AI chatbots to produce music.Despite lacking the musical talent or background,he creates songs in various styles.After one of his tracks hit 3 million streams,McCann signed with a record label,becoming the first AI-created artist to land such a contract(合同).
Tools like Suno and Udio are driving a new wave of AI-made music,with fully AI-produced group Velvet Sundown,new popular online—serving as a striking example.This change makes music creation easier for everyone.But meanwhile,it also raises worries about mass-produced low-quality content and the risk of shaking up the industry.
Generative AI is set to reshape music,yet its impact on the$29.6 billion global recorded music market remains unclear.Data from music streaming service Deezer shows that AI-made songs account for 18%of daily uploads but represent only a tiny share of total streams.
The technology has also divided the music community.Many artists and labels fear copyright infringement(侵权)and the devaluation of human creativity,with major companies like Sony Pictures,Universal Pictures and Warner Bros.filing legal claims against Suno and Udio,and over 1,000 musicians protesting proposed AI-related law changes in the UK.However,other figures,like will.i.am and Timbaland,have welcomed AI.
Some users draw comparisons between this criticism and past doubts about synthesizers(electronic instruments).Scott Smith,who leads AI band Pulse Empire,views AI as just another tool,and both he and McCann stress the effort needed to improve AI output quality—sometimes requiring dozens of attempts to get a satisfying song.While AI can compose songs,users often find them unoriginal and prefer creating their own.
Experts believe AI could enable anyone to produce a hit,significantly lowering barriers to music production.However,legal uncertainties surrounding copyright have created a“Wild West”atmosphere,and as AI gains broader acceptance,it may soon compete on the music charts,unlocking new creative possibilities for people worldwide.
1.What does the author want to show by mentioning Oliver McCann in paragraph 1?
A.AI music creators can achieve success. B.He has the musical talent and background.
C.Traditional musicians are losing their jobs. D.AI chatbots can’t make various music styles.
2.What can we infer about AI music from paragraph 3?
A.It takes a large share of total streams. B.It pushes global music market growth.
C.It is not widely accepted by audiences. D.Its copyright problems have been solved.
3.What conclusion can be drawn from paragraph 4?
A.AI music has already topped the global charts. B.Doubts about synthesizers were reasonable.
C.The UK has passed laws limiting AI music. D.Not all in the music field are against AI.
4.Which statement would Scott Smith agree with?
A.AI could produce perfect music. B.AI only plays a supportive role.
C.New tools hurt musical creativity. D.Electronic instruments are outdated.
