This beautiful song was made by a 5 second prompt

Listen to the first two minutes of the song and tell me if this isn't one of the most spine chilling songs you've heard yet. Just two minutes of your life, uninterrupted by any distractions.

 
The story behind that song.

I have no concern regarding AI and music. It doesnt have the demanding production cycle of movies and games.

There will be some decent AI songs here and there, but humans can compete with it. Music is also heavily about the marketing more than just making good music. The top 100 popular songs out right now is more about famous artists and what label they are signed to than the quality of their songs.

The only way this would be a big issue is if the major companies would ignore humans and produce everything through AI systems. Which won't happen because it's the brand of people like Taylor Swift or Dua Lipa as people that really sells.

You will have some AI songs on YouTube and TikTok that will trend for time to time, and likely you might get some high charted AI songs, but I see no future where people will be outcompeted and outdated in music.

You're too naive.

When it costs peanuts to create these AI tracks, shady companies will absolutely try to monetize those tracks on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, etc. If one of those tracks unexpectedly become popular among clueless listeners, it's almost free money. Spotify will be flooded by AI songs, recommending them left and right to its subscribers in its automated playlists and lots of listeners will find it increasingly difficult to discover new music without inadvertently adding AI songs and non existing bands and artists to their music libraries.

Spotify needs to implement AI filters right now before this blows up.

It's going to start forcing platforms to do a better job at curation. Record labels are going to have to protect themselves which ultimately means protecting their real life talent.

From the BBC a few days ago - plagiarists are using AI to create music in the style of known (but not huge) artists, uploading it to streaming services, and taking the profits from unsuspecting listeners.

There's zero curation, since nearly 100,000 songs are uploaded every day. Anyone could do it, zero talent required.

100k in a day is wild.

True but can you imagine the view count if a famous person had sung this? Although I suppose you could say that about small-time artists.

Same for books btw. Same for 'the most beautiful' images at this point. Or paintings. Way too much content so either you're '1 out of million' lucky and go viral or you need an established brand.

Kind of want to see this in big budget movie making or AAA games.

But that's not how people listen to music. I don't know anyone who randomly listen to random music, people listen to stuff because it belongs to artists they like and follow.

You can have hundreds of thousands of decent AI music uploaded to YouTube and people still won't care.

The point where this will become an issue is when companies starts to make digital artists.

But music is not that hard to make, skilled musicians can still make music relatively quick and easy.

The short term issue is all the spamming and copycat shit, the long term issue is digital artists made by big companies. But even so, it's not like the movie industry, where it's so expensive and demanding that AI productions will outdate humans. Music will always be doable for everyday people.

In a world where Hatsune Miku and Squid Sisters concerts have been a thing for a few years already, we won't even need AI singers to be perfect onstage to compete for the spotlight against real singers and bands.
They'll never ask for compensation and royalties. They'll never skip a tour date, even if they are pregnant, sick or drunk. Every kind of story will be created about them by their labels, yet they'll always appear onstage in their best shape and song in an eternally perfect voice. And the less successful one will be replaced with little effort.
I think we may even see real-people bands performing onstage before completely AI main events.

Compared to games and especially movies, AI will have very little trouble replacing real people in music to an alarming degree.

Guess you've never heard of Spotify's "Smart Shuffle" feature.

Spotify also has very prominent AI generated "Made For You" and "Your top mixes" playlists section based on your personal playlists and listening habits. It's also possible to subscribe to other people's playlists. Anyone using these features could inadvertently come across AI generated music.

I would recommend 'Idoru' by William Gibson. We will definitely have a virtual super star within the next decade or two.
 
You have been watching Rick Beto.

I will say it is a good song. I can see movie studios and the like using these prompts for movies. No more artist just algorithms.
 
The fact that Spotify isn't doing anything about it is pretty mindblowing. Seems like they don't care as long as people pay for the sub, right? I'm glad that I use it only for podcasts and I can remain a free user without listening to ads between songs.

Why should they?

There's a market for AI-generated entertainment and the song posted above doesn't sound any better or worse than countless mediocre "real" artists on Spotify. I mean, if stuck that song in the middle of a bunch of songs currently being played on the radio, I'd be hard-pressed to tell you which one was AI and which one wasn't.

The entertainment industry and other creatives are going to resist AI just like they resisted MP3s, streaming, and digital distribution, but AI is the future and within 5-10 years it's going to be commonplace and normal to have completely AI-generated entertainment.
 
But that's not how people listen to music. I don't know anyone who randomly listen to random music, people listen to stuff because it belongs to artists they like and follow.
The thing I listen to the most and the entire reason I chose that service to subscribe to is Apple Music Radio, so I constantly hear new stuff and can directly add it to my library if I like something.
 
Record labels will totally begin to include AI artists into their portfolios. There is just to many pluses for them.

Vast reduction in music production costs.

Elimination of any Human related issues (Sickness, writers block, personal issues, contract negotiations etc.)

Possible adjustment on what responsibilities a Producer or A&R person has. (New Roles?)

Easy ability to remix or alter music from existing music catalogs that the label owns.

The tech will only get better



Then you have the more interesting aspects like virtual artist concerts, resurrection of deceased artist etc.
 
This song made it into the top 50 in Germany. All AI generated:

Whats the name, its not showing up for me?

What are they supposed to do with a 100k songs per day? Use AI to find AI?

I wonder if I would've laughed as hard at the song if I hadn't been told it was AI.
Yeah I think people are going with a pre conceived opinion. I shouldn't have written this was a prompt song. Maybe let the users discover it themselves.

Impressively awful, absolute shite.

You owe me two minutes.
I'm not sure how someone can listen from 1;16 to 1:57 and say that? I'm assuming you're anti-AI and call it slop when used in entertainment? Genuinely curious.

Even this man would be embarrassed by that junk.

You asked for two minutes bud. The song sucks. Thus, you owing me two min-, eh, fuck it. Know what, whatever point you think you made, you're completely right bud.

No human creativity involved. It immediately makes it boring and worthless.

Who gives a fuck if its pleasant to listen to? There's no story, no soul behind it. It's not art in any shape or form.
 
People who claim they "know" it was AI are just full of shit lmao. That being said, artists should be protected, though I'm not sure what can be done.

did you forget you posted that already, or are you actually a bot yourself? 🤔
 
The voice and melody is nice. The instrumentation is boring.
Sounds like the BGM on an emotionally-manipulative TikTok about a Millenial couple saving a stray baby raccoon.
 
Britney Spears, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Korn, Limp Bizkit... And many more must be furious and distressed by AI.

Just like musicians who want to start a band.

I actually edited it after he replied to it, then decided to post it again because I really wanted an answer to it (as to whether he calls all AI slop). I feel like if you're calling this slop, you're likely calling all AI usage slop.

I know I regret so badly adding 5 second prompt in that line. I think most of these calling it 'wtf is this shite' wouldn't have had such reactions if I had and it would have been more interesting if some 'ai slop' NPCs had liked it and then discovered it was AI. Any way to edit that headline?

You can report your own post and ask a mod to edit it if they accept ofc. Too late though.

if you want to play music, just play music. AI doesn't change any of that. People who think they can make a career out of pop music probably need to change their plans sure but that's also been the case for at least a decade. It's very difficult to make a living as a pop musician these days.

There's plenty of boring and worthless slop being turned out by humans, so human involvement or lack thereof doesn't dictate how worthless (or not) something is.

You play this to people randomly without telling them it's AI and 9/10 wouldn't be able to tell, and I'd wonder if the person who was able to tell was actually able to tell or just got lucky with a guess.

As for protecting artists, beyond ensuring that their likeness isn't used without their consent, I don't think they need protection. AI-created music (and everything else) is free-market competition, and competition is good.

Agreed on the first point. But does that mean we should uber-mechanize the production of that slop with AI?
 
Its AI slop because if you actually pay attention its evidently just a superficially convincing facsimile of a real song.

The lyrics seem to make sense, but like a perfectly rendered human hand with too many fingers, they actually don't.

No meaning. No emotion. No talent required.
