Game over

Music is ultimately art for me, the money is nice too but using it as a means to express myself is my goal with it. And with AI music, that’s more stuff I can sample and chop and fuck up in wonderful ways!

“…if we get to a point where the average person can no longer tell if music came from a person or machine, and we may be there already, then how does someone who still does things the 'old-fashioned' way and wants to market themselves as such prove without doubt that they did not use AI to get there?”

A question then of authenticity. History doesn’t repeat - but it does rhyme:

I can't wait to use AI to generate interesting abstract stems and soundscapes that I can then mix and weave into larger compositions- I used to to something like that with HG Fortune plug-ins-

Producing music doesn’t necessarily mean the output is particularly interesting, and the results might be something that people just don’t want to listen to at all.

What if everything it writes sounds like Nickelback? (Actually, that would explain why they don’t want to release it…)

What’s so bad about Nickleback? Don’t ya wanna be a rockstar?

That'll be Post Malone, lol! 😂🤣

He’s not quite as bad, but doesn’t seem to do much besides cover ground that’s already been covered, only with more clichés.

Exactly. He's so clichéd and unoriginal that AI can easily replace him. 🤣 (Okay, so my song "Stephanie" purposefully played on cheesy clichés in the lyrics, but that was by choice when my "avoid clichés" tactic wasn't working out during lyric writing.)

Yeah, it’s just another generative app. I’m looking for an AI that can train on things that I have produced myself, and generate new ideas in my own style. Either music or poetry.

Refractor was an iOS start on that but I think it died.

I didn’t think of that! Yeah, I’m sure it wouldn’t have much trouble doing that!

It's interesting stuff but it sounds fairly basic and unlistenable. I've heard compositions here, both sparse and complex, that sound much better due to sound selection, mixing, and even short blurbs or jokes that contextualize the piece. Even the ambient generative stuff I've heard is better than some of this stuff as it seems there's purpose to the selections.

This is hilarious. Because the big record companies have copyrighted every combination of notes already the AI can't publish anything without google getting sued. So... um... yay for copyright by the big companies? lol

During an experiment, they found that about 1% of the music the system generated was directly replicated from the songs on which it trained — a threshold apparently high enough to discourage them from releasing MusicLM in its current state.

at least in pop…the stuff produced by humans is likely higher than 1 percent direct replication

Interesting article. Thank you.
