What do you think about AI generated music?

If AI replaces modern pop music or specifically the shallow, diva, celebrity, fame aspects then bring it on Since most of that is extremely formulaic, I suspect it will, even to the point of virtual artists, actors and so on.

I reckon that will have been going on already to some extent for a while. Modern pop is all so similar!
This will end up same as the vinyldigital debate, it’s another inevitable extension of technology.
It’s not AI but we’ve been using arpeggiators and probabilities to make music for a while, it’s a further move in that direction.
It’s going to happen/happening so move with the flow I guess, like it or not!

This is not bad… Certainly for a quick way to browse the library and pick out a sound or two you might not have thought of.

…all part of evolution…the age of information is ringing the bell that signals the peak of individualism…we’ve started moving/thinking in swarms…yesterday is always fighting against tomorrow…meanwhile, yesterday remains always in the past, tomorrow remains always in the future…wether we like it, or not…
personally, i gonna miss yesterdays copyright parties…
but we’re alive today…and damn’ sure, we all wanna see tomorrow, too…
next stop…eyetracking…what triggers U for real, is no longer a secret anymore, tomorrow…
it’s a bumpy, long and winded road to swarm intellegence…

Relentless Doppleganger is an AI-generated death metal channel on YouTube that has been relentlessly metalling away for a long time now. I dip in every now and again. It’s amusing.

That’s offensive ear bleeding material right there. Possibly more offensive than Gabba techno…….I M O
No offence to anyone that likes either genre

There are many attributes of good musicianship. One of them is the ability to respond in the moment to what has just happened. Kind of an aesthetic feedback loop. I’ve known many musicians who’re lacking or unmotivated to express this attribute.

I know a pianist who always plays deliberately and precisely. Some of my colleagues have characterized this person’s playing as “cold” and “unemotional”.

But if you are perfect, there’s no room to change course, right? Supposedly, George Szell, the conductor of Cleveland Symphony for years, believed that there was a “right” was to play a Beethoven symphony, and if the orchestra played it exactly the same every night, and if it was “right”, that was a good thing.

I like live jazz performances, because, ideally, this aesthetic feedback loop is ever present in performance. If it’s missing, then the musicians are just “phoning it in”.

This feedback loop is an attribute necessary to being a “live” musician. AI, in more than one sense of the word, is not a “live” musician.

I think some ai is being used to write marketing blurbs recently.
I’ve been reading some stunning bullshit lately for new electronica and sample pack releases…

Already tired of anything that claims to be “Ai”, to be honest. it is such a hyped up, tech-bro, useless dystopia. How do we avoid it?

A very interesting read about a single case where a company is using the “Ai” hype to make people curate music and train their algorithms for them… and people pay for it thinking they will own it and profit from it… Somebody tell AO muzikk about this so he can stop stealing from us instead?

This won’t be the end of the world. If you consider streaming services as channels for people listening to music, this channel is changing, but there are other channels still working

AI music, musicians, and music jobs

Interesting article from Attack mag on how AI music might affect musicians. Soundful is a “human-assisted AI” that can create music on demand. My take is that it might put jingle artists and “content creators” out of work, but for artists, it will be just another handy tool for inspiration, like generative tools now. Also, this is a great article on AI art: snippet: Andres Guadamuz, a technology researcher, discovered a marketplace not for A.I. tools, but the human-written prompts that go…

What do you think about AI generated music?

We’re introducing Jukebox, a neural net that generates music, including rudimentary singing, as raw audio in a variety of genres and artist styles. We’re releasing the model weights and code, along with a tool to explore the generated samples. (source) OpenAI released a deep learning model that can generate complete songs constrained on the lyrics and style of an artist. It currently takes 9h to generate one minute, IMHO the results are quite interesting. My favorite is this one, especially …

Real Future Of AI in Music: Production Copilot Coming To Your DAW?

Whenever Artificial Intelligence is discussed in the music production sphere, it’s almost exclusively about AI generated music/audio, and how they are worthless, soulless crap only good for YouTube videos or commercials. But I’m afraid that the majority of music makers have not realized what an LLM AI’s true strength is and what it’s meant to be - a productivity tool. The past month saw the introduction of Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot X, which I highly recommend checking out if you h…

I think AI music is a fascinating and rapidly evolving field. There are many potential benefits to using AI to create music, such as:

• Increased creativity: AI can help musicians to generate new ideas and explore new sounds.
• Increased efficiency: AI can automate many of the time-consuming tasks involved in music production, such as composing, arranging, and mixing.
• Increased accessibility: AI can make music production more accessible to people who do not have traditional musical training.

Of course, there are also some challenges associated with AI music, such as:

• The quality of AI-generated music can vary widely.
• Some people may feel that AI-generated music lacks the human touch.
• There are ethical concerns about the use of AI to create music, such as the potential for copyright infringement.

Overall, I believe that AI has the potential to make a positive impact on the music industry. It can help to democratize music production, create new and innovative sounds, and make music more accessible to everyone.

Here are some specific examples of AI music projects that I find impressive:

• Aiva: Aiva is an AI music composer that has been creating music since 2016. It has won several awards, including the ASCAP Foundation Irving Berlin Prize.

• Jukedeck: Jukedeck is an AI music creation platform that allows users to create custom music for their videos, podcasts, and other projects.

• Boomy: Boomy is an AI music production community that lets users create original material and get paid for it.

I am excited to see how AI music develops in the years to come. I believe that it has the potential to revolutionize the way we create and consume music.

This sounds written by chatgpt.

And you mention the grifters boomy and it’s “it lets users create original material and get paid for it” claim.

Material generated by an algorithm can’t be copyrighted. So what boomy does to circumvent this is it uses the users as pawns, whose human input validates the creation boomy can then capitalize on. It’s a scam. There’s an article about it on this thread from yesterday which I posted if you want to know the details.
