This beautiful song was made by a 5 second prompt

I wouldn't say it's good, but it is as good as plenty of non-AI music which some people like.

I think it's easy for people to call all this stuff AI garbage and say it's obviously AI after they've already been told it's AI. Blind test some of this shit and see how obvious it really is to people. No matter how much genuine 'emotion' there is in human made music, it is still reduced to data in any recording -there is no magic additional layer besides the data- which means ultimately it is replicable.
 
I never liked most modern music in general and this won't change my mind. That being said, I'm sort of annoyed by this part of the lyrics "This tear" (as in crying) not "tear" as in ripping apart.

Also, even without the AI, this type of format of melancholic melody only works with a few artists, Iike Aurora (guilty pleasure). This here is something you can put as background music in pub amongst the noise but that is it.

But bone chilling... you do you, mate. So let's not over-exaggerate here.

I don't think it matters in the long run. The good stuff will rise to the top, and the rest will be forgotten about, just like with human-created stuff.

I think that's my overall take on it though. Without the human side I feel absolutely nothing from it. I can recognize that it may be a pleasing tune or technically good vocals but without the organic input it has no soul or real artistry. Same with ai images, technically impressive, devoid of emotion.

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

Um, maybe don't add 100k songs per day? It's a completely crazy number. New bands should apply and provide some verification that they actually exist. Once that's done all of their new songs and albums would be added automatically.
 
It's a pretty impressive track that shows AI progress... the sound quality in headphones is genuine and feels like a well-mixed, polished result of studio sessions. The lyrics in this case are the weakest link by a mile.

If we were still in an era where actual bands with functioning brains dominated the airwaves (remember when 4 guys like the Beatles used to brilliantly compose and bend genres, and pick up bold new musical concepts with each album as if it was second nature, all recorded without the benefit of today's tech?), I might feel bothered by AI music.

But let's be honest -- the actual """"artists"""" that dominate the charts no longer have a functioning brain cell to divide between them. They aren't even the artists behind their own music... someone like Katy Perry is just a clueless ditz who shows up to give a face and heavily autotuned vocal line to an arrangement pumped out by the pure machinery of the cynical producers.

It's already worse than AI right now out there. If AI music can infiltrate and replace the pop machinery and make it impossible for typical mass produced pop artists to profit anymore, that'd be fantastic. The faster the current music industry can have its financial roots utterly decimated by new tech, the better.

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.

How do you delete a post. I wanted to share a cool AI song and all I'm getting are a bunch of 'this song has no emotion, we can tell' replies when I'm 100 percent they'd be claiming its full of soul if they didn't know it was AI.

A more thought out version of what I was going to say, but I'll say it anyway.

I can be impressed that it can generate such a song, but AI is just a facsimile of what already exists. What already exists (i.e. Modern popular music) feels robotic half the time anyway given the auto-tune and all the rest of it.

AI probably isn't going to iterate on itself either, it needs to be fed new music made by creative humans. It's still just a machine.

For what it's worth I'd have said it's a boring song that does nothing for me whether it was AI not. As above it's an accurate imitation, but what it's imitating is still of extremely subjective quality.

As a thread that discusses the capabilities of AI this thread has merit, and aside from one or two well reasoned posts I don't think anyone can actually tell the difference. But as a thread that centres on your personal biases about the beauty of a song that inherently doesn't appeal to people it has little merit.

It definitely shows the market for non creative elevator / phone on hold music will be AI very soon. Radio gingles and adverts will be next.

It can only improve with more development. I expect some app will make a fortune with people making clips of song concepts on social media.

Regardless of my feelings on the song itself i can certainly agree that its impressive for an AI to create this from a short prompt. I can imagine someone with musical know how crafting a more detailed prompt that can generate a full song with more depth and complexity.

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 all slop when used in entertainment? Genuinely curious.

I love AI, and I didn't listen from 1:16 to 1:57, you said two minutes so I did two minutes, I don't really understand what's being misunderstood about that.

But no yeah, love AI man, use it literally daily, and I find the people who call it all slop to be very frustrating and narrow minded. The honest answer is that the music just sounds truly awful, but bear in mind that I despise, I mean truly despise, music like Billy Eilish, and it kinda resembles that to me.
 
It definitely sounds better than what I hear when I turn on the radio at a random point in time.

I approve.

Another one of those users who think this kind of AI Slop is a good way forward.

I really don't like it, especially when its parasiting off to other places too, like Doom.

This kind of thread is exactly why Big Tech is investing heavily in more powerful chips. Ignoring the electronic waste and footprint it generates.
 
The flood gates are opened, everything is going into shit.
Soon it will be impossible for real talented people to make any money or getting recognition. From books, music, movies, video games. Everything is in danger.
Soon will come the time where a couple of guys in a dorm room can create a game like gta in a week. Or a guy that can't write a single paragraph of text be able to "write" a novel with 600 pages in an hour.
Markets will be flooded with this. The implications are huge. Even porn stars have their days counted as AI generated porn will replace them.

It is not a real talent yet; it is still only a tool which makes things much easier to produce. as for flooding the marked it has been a thing for a long time but now more effort is needed for quality control. Who knows what it will be in ten years though
 
This kind of thing can empower creative musicians, as well.



Imagine being able to have a musical idea, and play only some instruments or parts, but get a studio-level recording built around you by synthetic musicians. It will gradually evolve into these highly integrated tools that let one artist build incredibly fast as if they have 100 session musicians and recording engineers on hand.

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.

Damn it, what tool are they using. I was trying to get chatgpt to have this kpop band my daughter likes sing Angel of Death by slayer but it wouldn't do it :( although it did hilariously storyboard a lyrics script and video.
 
Sounds like a typical low tier artist song, where the singer is actually good, but the lyrics are hoky, and the music isn't paced satisfyingly.
 
Impressive.

People want to trash this, but it's insane this was made in 5 seconds.

Any half decent musician who can write a song and provide their own sound bites can now get over major difficulties. They could make their stuff sound relatively professional in a matter of seconds.

Of course this can also be used and abused by someone with absolutely no musical training at all.

Strange world we live in now, having this kind of tech at your fingertips.
 
It's the same kind of generic music you hear in the supermarket while shopping, impressive if done by AI.
 
I wouldn't have known it was ai. I'd have assumed it was some kind of modern song

I didn't care for the song itself but the fact it created by ai so fast is remarkable.
 
with even very low effort, you get music videos that certainly start to approach plausibility... looks like a low budget video for a B-tier artist from 20 years ago

 
This song is much better and more natural-sounding than the previous thread with the A.I. pop song music video starring the blond woman.

Regarding the argument in this thread, the disconnect is going to occur at the concert/in-person level. Right now that's the glass ceiling for A.I.

is it art if it's not made by humans 🤔
Click to expand...
I think so.

Is it art when someone sits at a desk all day clicking a mouse having photoshop do the work for them, or paint, or churn out music from a musical instrument etc....?

Similarly, when someone writes an essay, is it really their own work when the word processor fixes all their spelling and grammar mistakes for them? Or click a button for thesauraus/synonym options.

By themselves, humans can do hardly any art and most people write like shit. Tools or gadgets can do a lot of the legwork. At work, I can generate a database, press a button and it makes fancy charts for me in 5 seconds. All neat, tidy and calculated correctly.

Video's so work in progress, I feel like even with the best video, a lot of people can still tell its AI.

but getting better rapidly -- and the one I posted was a low-effort youtuber. The tech is already pretty much there, but doing it well still requires a lot of credits spend + a lot of careful editing and smart model use. So it's not quite at the low effort stage yet, but will be.
 
It's only a matter of time until AI is completely unidentifiable in all mediums. Humans are cooked.

We had an okay run, I guess.
