Edit: Its using OpenAI Jukebox (https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/) which claims to actually produce good music.

Ive heard music synthesized by neural nets made by different people, this doesn't sound like that. It may be over-fitting.

Also, watching multiple videos, all the music is similar. There is this one tune thats in every single one of them.

The music portion is always the same it seems, yes?

I don't seem to be getting a video?

Well it does explicitly say it doesnt exist

Every time I see one of these “X does not exist” articles, I hope that it’s just a blank page.

This is scary and what I feared would eventually happen. How long before AI is better than every music producer, trained on all of music how likeable something is? How long before fake influencers on IG and TikTok completely dominate by having more addictive personalities and videos to follow than real people?

It would be cool if videos like these can be generated in realtime to replace music visualizers like waveform or spectrograms. Even if it has no utility as a real visualizer, it is still nice to watch!

The videos created are more like visualisers. Not a bad thing, but I was expecting dancers, singers. Still, very impressive technology.

The syncing of the visuals to the music brings to mind the video for The Chemical Brothers’ Star Guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM

I could totally believe walking into a bar playing this. Who would get the performing rights?

Beautiful, almost every frame is a perfectly plausible and very tasteful abstract painting. But it seems a bit obsessed with cars, not a very meaningful image. Would it be possible to nudge the net to other concepts?
