YT link also very nearly spells “repent”. The algorithm is apparently developing some sense of morals, or a dry sense of humour.

AI "music" is evil, however I enjoyed playing around with this and thought it would be fun to have a thread on here. Not clicking "I made this" as an AI made it from stolen samples, all I did was give it a few instructions.

This is my first real exposure to AI "music".
The novelty value wears off really really quickly, doesn't it?
(The Porcupine From Purgatory Writtern By the Winners, Thu 18 Apr 2024, 17:52, Share, Reply)

Some of it is jaw droppingly good,
but as with its visual counterpart there's more and more shite to wade through to find it, and the more of it there is the less valuable it seems to be.

I'm still enthusiastic about one day having *useful* AI music tools incorporated into DAWs (virtual musicians and arrangers who you could train using your own source material for example), but text prompt based stuff does not seem like the way forward, at least not for me.
(

brb homonecrobatrachophile, Thu 18 Apr 2024, 19:18, Share, Reply)

When you say jaw droppingly good,
do you then actually listen to it more than once for pleasure?

Most AI stuff just seems impressive from a distance, and shit when you look at the detail.

Udio is only fun because of the human input. If you couldn't write your own lyrics, I doubt anyone would enjoy it.
(

monkeon schmonkeon, Fri 19 Apr 2024, 11:39, Share, Reply)

There are a few that I have listened to more than once, yeah.
E.g. the 'new' Nirvana song from a few years ago.

AI DSP seems, to me at leat, to be better quality than its visual equivalent, but of course its a little shonky, and it's dependent on the material its been trained on. The kind of AI tools I'd be interested in would be MIDI/score based anyway.

I like this guy, he's clearly very talented and driven, and he's done very interesting stuff, like the 32 GameBoy synth, and the church organ rebuild. But just.. the hypercaffienated delivery and 'yoof' vibe he has kinda grates. Maybe he has ADHD, maybe I'm just too old now, who knows?
