Is this from that google music ai?
Thing was surprisingly good when I tried it out once.
Bard, though, is a terrible llm
Not sure if the production was done generatively or just the voices.

Might be Elevenlabs. I think that was the one which was used to create those "Presidential banter memes" that are floating around the web.

Tmz and a few other sites seem to claim it was all ai from instrumentals to vocals.
I think elevenlabs has stronger copyright protection so using famous voices is more difficult now. They updated their tos to specifically state that anyone who uses voices without authorization is liable for any legal repercussions. I'm not sure though
godamn, the sci-fi books didn't warn us about this specific technological upheaval

Well, you best buckle up. Some instance of frauds and scams are emerging using these tools.
We're at a point where some malicious actors are already using AGI to generate convincing online personas. Photos and all.

Pretty hilarious. Drake honestly does sound like he already makes his songs with an AI so it's kind of perfect. A lot of modern radio music sounds like its made with an AI actually.

All this proves is that Drake songs are fucking terrible. One repeating riff and a stock drum track, along with some autotuned mumbling.

Sure can. People used AI to finish Beethoven's unfinished 10th Symphony.

How Artificial Intelligence Completed Beethoven's Unfinished Tenth Symphony
On October 9, the work will be performed in Bonn, Germany, and a recording will be released

for instrumental stuff you don't even need AI,
due to the relative predictability of instrumental music, you can just write a procedural generation algorithm and get often really good results.
these will eventually sound very samey and generic, but at first glance they are real damn good.

Shit moving too fast again. It was only a few weeks ago when someone posted a thread of AI music and it sounded garbled. Super hard to swallow years ahead.
Who knows. The reaction is certainly different than with image generation. Takedowns have wiped this song off the internet to "protect artists". Did Arsestation and Devilant Art do that for artists who keep their platforms alive? It shows that music still has some cultural impact and sense of ownership, while images have nearly none, and have long democratized to a point of free for all.

Yeah, most depictions of AI generally adhered to the trope of AI being bad at matching people at being 'creative'. Guess reality proves that wrong.
Then again, that was depicting General AI, but I suppose in reality nothing would stop a General AI from utilizing various ML models.
Drake's music makes me wish that Rick had better aim.
I am not surprised that an AI can cover modern pop rap. Simplified and highly literal English structured in a basic rhyme scheme atop a basic beat is already pretty easy to copy. Head over to worldstar and look how many shitty rappers fit the pattern perfectly. The AI's weakest part was the chorus but even that was a good approximation of the Weeknd.

The problem is that they'll be fighting 1000 different fires.
I think a lot of people in creative industries should be really worried about this, if they're not already.
There'll also be a lot of people who knew this was coming (like me) but who didn't think it would go from possible one day to happening right now in the blink of an eye.
Yep such a double standard.

Just wait until some can say a concept and generate a movie with any actors likeness.
The issue out of the gate is ai can only generate things based off history. Do we just except that everything has been done already and just let ai continuously make things based off what’s happened up until now?

Ai takes from information stored on the internet. It creates things by grabbing data that already exists. Things that have already happened or been created.
Like if you ask it to make music it finds all the music already created to use as a reference. If there is no new voices or ideas to make new music it will just continually draw from the same sources.

They'll take that fight.
It's only different because image artists don't have record labels behind them. These are the people that lobbied governments to change laws across the world in their favour. Image artists don't have that level of protection. Or rather, not 'protection of artists', but 'protection of content', which is important.
The record levels will C&D and sue people out of existence if they cross the line, then when they figure AI out themselves, I'm sure they will fuck over their own artistes in ways unimaginable.
"and have long democratized to a point of free for all."
Wouldn't say that. More like if you're image artist, no one probably has your back and to enforce your copyright is gonna be a major pain the ass for most people. So it's a matter of constantly taking 'L's' if someone is ripping your shit off and letting it go. Meanwhile if you're an musician and signed to a label, you have fucking Cerberus at your back, ready to rip apart anyone merely even sampling your music.

Yes it would be great for governments to tell us what we can and can't listen to for music. You can't stop a truly decentralized democratized form of network without shutting the whole internet down.
People said electronic instruments and computers would ruin music too. But this is a good song.

Nice reach. This is about using other peoples works/likeness/name without their permission, millionaire celeb or not. Of course the more popular you are the more protection you have.
The world doesn't work in absolutes.

Yup. And we won't be the last. Imagine we're only now beginning to scratch the surface of AI.
This isn't even a baby step in the world of AI and robotics yet; we're still crawling. I don't even think most people can fathom what the world would like with AI's capabilities at a full sprint.
May God help us lol.

The same could be said for humans, we create art based on what we are exposed to. And the difference is that the AI can process all of human art, every culture, and not just the limited amount of things to which a single person is exposed.
