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.

AI or not, its not the kind of music I'd ever listen to by choice.

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.

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

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.

 

[ssringo]

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.

 

[Goalus]

It definitely sounds better than what I hear when I turn on the radio at a random point in time.

I approve.
