Outline

This paper is a case study of the music production process using AI tools for 10 weeks for 9 college students. Participants used AI to perform the entire process from composing, writing lyrics, creating album art, and distributing music, including the process of releasing music on Spotify. The results of the study confirmed that AI accelerates the idea generation stage but compresses the existing preparation stage, and causes difficulties for novice users in the idea selection and verification stages. In addition, a new “collage and improvement” stage was identified that combines and refines AI-generated results, and AI also affects the social dynamics and role division between human creators. Based on these insights, we propose a human-AI co-creation stage model and a human-AI agency model.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
It concretely demonstrates how AI is changing the creative workflow: accelerating idea generation, compressing the preparation phase, easing the difficulty of idea selection and validation phases, and creating a new “collage and refine” phase.
Presents the impact of AI on social dynamics and division of roles among human creators.
We present a human-AI co-creation stage model and a human-AI agency model to provide a new perspective on collaborative co-creation with AI.
Limitations:
The small number of participants in the case study limits generalizability.
Since this study is limited to a specific field (music production), it is necessary to review the possibility of generalization to other creative fields.
There may be a lack of analysis of differences in results depending on the type and characteristics of AI tools.
