i like this idea.. having it generated multitrack and then being able to continuously change and tweak individual tracks by prompting - that sounds very interesting .. it’s like removing technical obstacles of working with synths and doing technical part of production (mixkng, mastering, etc) and just using pure creativity, transforming ideas i have in my head directly to “daw”
that’s something completely different than current dumb generative tools - this is something i look forward at..
To think of the gift that music is and the influence it has had on me and the world, and all it contributes to bringing people together and just the simple joy of connecting with another human who made something that reaches a part of your mind unexplained, reduced to a prompt, saddens me more than I can say. As far as I am concerned there is no opinion regarding this. Either you don't have the wits to understand what music is and what role it plays it the lives of people, or you do. I know AI has great potential, but unfortunately the bad that comes with it makes it something I wish was wiped from the face of the earth. There are so many things humans are smart enough to create, but not smart enough to control the resulting damage.
This exactly is the problem
A few months ago I was searching for the old medieval images of musicians to discover some new instruments and arrangements from that time. What I got from the searcher is countless AI-generated slop that just looks like old medieval musicians but with a modern take on instruments at best, but most of them are hallucinated gibberish. 🤦♂️ So yeah, it’s just beginning…
archive.org was my only option, or to visit the local museums and libraries.
I think we have been doomed on a collision course for a while now, this is just something else to look at before impact... 3... 2...
Yah, the contamination is very real. It is not just obvious noise slop too. Some of it is so good that it passes as authentic initially and takes time to eliminate.
Contamination , yeah that's the right word. One of the thing I hate the most lately are those clickbaity slops used to illustrate some actuality news. Things like this piece of shite below. I can't stand those because those are polluting more and more news feed... Basically, very soon those will be undistinguishable from the reality. So the only rational posture when checking internet, is that if one sees a picture without proper credits, one should simply assume that not only the picture but the whole article is AI made up and potentially fake, inaccurate, or worse, intentionally misleading. Then, this also opens the door to very sophisticated scams...
@JanKun
Ack, yah that is gross. It will certainly be a strange future when no information exchange is trusted. My pet peeves lately are archeology / history videos with fake AI clickbait. Its worse than history channel everything is aliens shlock.
Maybe soon, we'll have to create a system to verify the legitimacy of an article with some kind one time 2 step verification encoded qr code to access the journalist press pass 🤔
How do I block an entire thread?
I made the mistake once to read one article about this Harvard astrophysicist who speculated that the recently observed 3I/ATLAS interstellar comet could be of alien origin... You don't want to see my Facebook feed now... 3 miles long alien spaceship is coming our way with incredibly clear telescopic snapshots of the spacecraft 🤦
Hehe yah I saw a video the other day. Strange tumble on it. It is interesting. The universe is kinda massive apparently and we have a tendency to think we understand more than we do just so we can sleep at night hehe.
AI will eventually end up making music from songs that have already been created using AI which will in turn be used for new AI projects…. and so it will continue down the generations and incarnations…..
Until one of the big inevitable kablamies happens and scattered folks around campfires start banging on logs again.
That’s an excellent point.
However, while many people are bothered by the artificial nature of AI, I think the deeper issue is the massive scale of works used without compensation or consent to train systems that can directly impact creators’ livelihoods. It feels like laid-off employees being told to train their replacements — except in this case, artists weren’t even asked, weren’t compensated, and their work was simply taken to build tools that may generate immense wealth for the fat cats while leaving the people behind the basis of their training behind.
If these companies had limited themselves to public domain works or commissioned new material, this fairness problem wouldn’t exist.
Remember when they said “hip Hop isn’t music……anyone could do it ?”……Then they came..The ones who could just do it better than anyone else..The Emeenem’s , etc..
First there will be a plethora of crappy Ai songs..THEN along will come someone who just will know how to use it better than all of us…Watch for it…
I hear you on the prompt engineering part. It IS a skill, but to me it’s not really a musical skill, and not even on the same level of putting loops together.
That being said, when and if they figure out a way to allow people with music making skill to gain control on the level of what a DAW or an instrument provides, I think the balance of power will shift to musicians because they’ll have souped up tools at their disposal.
I am already seeing it in the sphere of software development where people who are software engineers have even more of an advantage with AI over untrained or inexperienced coders.
You also mentioned the ability to upload your own tracks, which I wasn’t aware of. Putting the issue of those companies taking your work (which I think SoundCloud is also planning to do, if not doing it already), I could imagine uploading a handmade track being an advantage for the musician over someone who is reliant on prompts.
To me this is the most potent ethical argument. While it’s true that people learn from what’s come before, there’s something about the massive scale of works used without permission to build something that is being monetized that seems ethically fraught.
absolutely. same thing has been happening with images and video
This is more of an aside on my part, but I think that this view on hip hop was always a false premise and it came, and still comes from people, who don’t understand the art form. If anyone could do it, then we wouldn’t have ended up with the abomination that is Axl Rose’s “My World” (and he was someone who listened and liked NWA).
AI feels different. Even if the lyrics are bad, you can still get polished, decent-sounding instrumentals out of the box. That makes it genuinely possible for almost anyone to create something listenable without understanding melody, harmony, or arrangement.
For example:
https://apnews.com/article/artificial-intelligence-ai-music-suno-udio-551308748c84c774c3c5ecd89aa93904
On the one hand, I appreciate that it takes some creativity to write lyrics, but they don’t mention creating melodies or even harmonies. They do mention a vision, but I have no idea how concreté their vision is as they don’t say, nor do I know how they manage the execution of it beyond reprompting. If it is like what I have witnessed in Reddit, most people have a very general idea of genre, instrumentation and that’s it. They end up picking the version they like best, which is more of a post-hoc process. the process often isn’t composing so much as auditioning.
And to be fair, that’s exactly what I was doing with apps like Piano Motifs and Riffler. The only thing that made me want to start learning music theory was that these apps let you get under the hood and knowing some theory seems productive. They were my gateway drug.
If AI manages to do that, that’s a positive, but right now these models don’t really let you get that deep (I have asked power users and even some guides, and that’s the impression I get).
hah! My cousins favorite song at the time and he said he 'hated rap'. hehe, now if all the rock bands started doing it and it kicked off all that Limp Bizshit early I wonder how hip hop would have evolved
Duct Tape.
(Seriously though, sorry, you can't)
People have been saying this to one degree or other about every technological innovation in human history.
—The church said the printing press was the work of the devil and the spread of "unorthodox" ideas would destroy humanity.
—There was panic and hysteria when the first "horseless carriages" appeared. "You can't go that fast, you'll die", they said.
—Electricity and electric lighting was said to be too dangerous. It would electrocute everyone.
And on and on it goes, up to today with robots and A.I. now representing the end of humankind. Maybe the moral panic isn't correct and it WON'T result in the destruction of all life on earth... just like all the other stuff.
Yep. I've been looking over some of the experiments I've been doing with generative images, sound and music since 2021 and it has come a long, long way in a relatively short amount of time (especially the music and sound tools, which have really come into their own over the last 1-2 years).
It will only keep getting better, no matter how much people oppose it. This is an area of massive investment right now, so the pace of technological improvement has accelerated.
Not much to say here, but it was the start of the spread of misinformation, in particular the bible and it's ilk, but also even the first news papers were owned by wealthy people who printed what they wanted people to believe. That has not been a positive thing for society. And the same model of information is now online, still fed to the masses, by the few with an agenda.
1300 dead in Australia last year, many, many more lives affected by road related injury, extend that to the cost to society and the impact on extended families
Electricity production has significant environmental impacts, including air pollution (smog, acid rain), water pollution (thermal pollution, toxic metals), land degradation (mining, waste disposal), and contributions to climate change from greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from burning fossil fuels
Electric power generation is a significant source of toxic metals and other pollutants discharged into water bodies, as well as land pollution through the disposal of millions of tons annually of coal ash, which can contain contaminants like mercury, cadmium, and arsenic
Yep, all those things are working out great.
I think Telstar was referring to skillset development and how some people will have a talent for it more than just the technological improvement.
Literacy, affordable mass transportation and electric power have contributed to the greatest period of wealth generation and health improvements in history. And all three of those things contributed to the creation of the Internet and computing. If all you want to see are negatives, that's exactly what you'll see.
True, but just because you point out the positives doesn't mean there are no negatives. I could just as easily say " If all you want to see are" positives, "that's exactly what you'll see."
Currently it's a consequence of everyone only looking at the positives that the world is in such a terrible state. In particular the environment. You can't look at just one angle. You must look at the pros AND cons, then you can weigh up how X has impacted the world.
