A single entity would not be enough data to train an entire model but a single entity can be used as a finetune on top of a vastly trained model to define the character of the output of the model. That said the finetune can be very convincing and yah mimicking/plagiarism/stealing are all good ballpark words in my opinion, heck even identity theft in some cases.
Yes it is. It's going to be an amazing journey. The possibilities are endless. It's an amazing time to be alive. We've very lucky to be witnessing this monumental shift. It's not going to be easy but it's going to be incredible.
The Singularity is near. That's for sure.
It sounds boring to me. Enjoy.
The music or the prospect of A.I.
Watching people cheer their own demise is always hilarious.
Both. People being ok with second best. People thinking that the creative process is somehow a “problem” that needs to be solved. It’s an inferior product from an uninteresting process. Whoopee.
Don’t Look Up 😉
You all sound like your grandparents when rock music came along, lmao.
Or your own parents when drum machines came along.
I’m not sure about demise but A.I will force us to evaluate what it is to be a human.
Nope. Rock music was made by people. At least my grandparents knew that. Do you understand the difference? Really tired of the newest techevangelist bs being trumpeted as a great thing. It’s not. Yes, we will have to deal with it and there’s no stopping it, so better get used to it, etc. Not impressed. Sad.
The railing against progress sounds exactly the same.
Most people have no idea what’s coming down the pipe and how fast it will get here. I don’t tend to speak to people about it in my real life because in this case ignorance is bliss. I’m even holding back here.
But it’s not progress, it’s just change. Progress implies, I think, an improvement (“We’re making progress.”). Rock music from big band and folk music wasn’t progress, it was simply a change brought about by a set of circumstances. All change is not positive, it’s just different. Evolution is not necessarily an improvement. I guess my question is this: Who exactly is clamoring for AI music and art? Who really wants this? Seems to me that there aren’t a bunch of girls swooning for the newest AI-generated singer as they were for Elvis or the Beatles. Who is driving this? I would put my bet on corporate interests, not the younger generation. And so your comparison is incredibly faulty.
I sort of assume that half of what’s currently coming out is at least 50% AI. Sounds like it anyway.
Yes, yes, yes! I also think it’s interesting that Endlesss ceased operations as we stumble upon this interesting moment. If the capitalist music machine is soul searching then Endlesss and other approaches offered a path to “the journey is the destination” that suggested that musicking is closer to meditation/flow than money making. Thousands of years of musicians sitting around the campfire applaud! I suspect the capitalist music machine is unfortunately salivating however. Provide the masses with their musical opiate at next to zero “compute costs”? Rings all the bells.
I wager no one knows.
You all? I see varying opinions here.
In 10-20 years everyone will have brainpower multiplying implants to keep up with AI anyway, so don’t worry about it.
Not everyone. Only those who can afford premium health insurance plans.
I think I can safely assume people are super hesitant and judgemental of the crappy state it is in now, and most have not been embracing it and saying “what can this do for me and my music”
(But everyone is fine using euclideans, generators, probability, and pressing that random button in apps)
The bottom line is if what comes outta the speakers is good. It doesn’t matter how that happens, or what tools are used.
It’s not just only about “hey make me a surf song” or “make me a joke song about eating fudge until I die”. This is what most people think about AI music. It’s just a prompt you type in and it spits out a song. Right now, sure, there’s a lot to be improved upon. Yeah, it does that with relative ease. Is it great? Sometimes. Do people get butthurt or discount it cause a human didn’t play anything? Sure, but I dunno why when entire songs have been made with sequencers, laptops, virtual instruments, etc for couple decades now. Most have just been programmed, not even played/performed by a human.
This can be very dense and there’s a lot of tech that does into it. If you train your own models, it’s now about you, and not some algorithm someone else is hosting on a website to make you a guitar line. I would also say that AI generating a guitar line you use, isnt much different that using that guitar line from some random sample pack.
Overall, I want to see what is possible outside of the physical limitations of a human brain. We used sequencers and computers to overcome the physical limitations of human performance, why can’t we do the same and overcome the mental capacity of the human brain for compositional/creative purposes?
For sure some are. I have been looking at this stuff for a few years now (along with images) so relatively speaking I think the music is fairly advanced now as far as just raw slot machine generator tech. The toolset is about two years behind images though. (Though more highly fitted in terms of training/tuning) Once a Control Net of music comes out I will be far more into it. But yah, even now I use Udio with stem separators and snag samples etc but this is like Image Diffusion and photoshop two years ago and not anything like where it is now in terms of actual image tools.
Well stated. It’s a bit like throwing dice right now, but there’s no reason why far greater precision won’t become part of the process sometime soon.
Yah my understanding is that this current phase of audio is more or less a diffusion rendering process similar to images and methods like Control Net for images (that anyone interested in AI/Ml should check out) are a prime example or how users can guide and direct image output far beyond the much maligned prompting and random re-rolling that most people seem to think is the extent of this tech. Definitely not the case.
Well, that’s certainly a perspective. As in, a thing someone thought, and chose to write.
It’s true from the point of view of the listener. They most likely don’t care how it’s made.
I wouldn’t bet on that one either. The arc of technology points directly toward nearly unlimited computing power and storage for almost zero cost in the future.
Capitalism eaten by technocracy, wonder who will control that.
Capitalism is great… and not just for technology. It works everywhere it's allowed to work.
Those of us who are more trepidatious about AI aren't the "Old man screaming at the sky" or just "boomers" some make us out to be (I was born in 1975 & am an unashamed GenXer anyway).
I personally have adopted iOS music production apps as my main recording platform. My old PortaStudio's that I began recording on and my desktop with ProTools HD are all packed away in storage. I totally embrace new technologies, however Artificial Intelligence is in a completely different category.
AI fundamentally changes the landscape of music on several different levels. I mean I feel that the generative music apps are step too far. All of the soul and direct human connection a traditional composition has is left to chance. AI is even worse because depending on which AI model is used the result can be made to sound like a certain singer, musician and even an existing composition.
Musicians already have a Herculean task to overcome to just earn a living in music. AI models will become so advanced (which is right around the corner) they can produce a professional legit sounding piece of music by entering a few basic descriptors into a model.
Real musicians, producers and composers will become redundant to the eyes of many. Non-creative money men will do what they've always done: focus on the bottom line. If AI saves them time and money of course they'll use it.
File sharing and streaming pretty much decapitated the record business. Live performance is the only way musicians from major stars to bar bands can make money. I find no comfort in those saying "Well, AI can't replace live musicians", since most people wouldn't believe that you can have Nat King Cole singing Nirvana songs 10-20 years ago.
Yes, it's an exciting time to be a musician alive today, with the democratisation of recording and releasing music making it possible to get our music out there. It's also a heavy time full of uncertainty and few answers to some life swaying changes.
