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

It reminded me of the old Amega demo scene. I think it is the overly strong syncing with the beat. More deviation from it would be an improvement.

I am old enough to remember when people were afraid that Muzak would take over. It did not. I was at a Chinese restaurant, around a year and a half ago, and realized that the music they played was a sort of “ersatz” music. It was familiar tunes, like Scarborough Fair, or Hotel California, slightly modified, and strung together. Vocals were basically wordless humming. There is an entire industry, based on musicians, p…

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?
Of course you're right, but I'll tell you what next.
Redefine 'dominate'. All that has happened is we've shown mass media, mass popularity, is better suited to the unreal. Humans need not apply here.
'Mass' anything, then gets less interesting as it is self-evidently a dead-end. And not 'everybody', but significant numbers of people, pursue something else, perhaps things that are unlikeable in an interesting way. The differences will always be less 'addictive' than the 'mass' stuff, but will overperform in other, definable ways.
As someone who has deleted Twitter and Facebook I think I'm correct in this notion that the most addictive, most 'mass' media sources are not 'good' in any normal human sense other than manipulation of that very instinct in all its forms…
This is just a fancy version of the old windows media player music graphic thing

There's two fallacies I think you've touched on here, one is that there is an "objectively best" music. Music is so tightly coupled to cultural movements, very subjective, and extremely broad in scope, it just can't be the case. The second I feel is that people would still be interested in AI music in a meaningful way. I think AI music has a following now because it's interesting and novel, and that gives it a story,…
Maybe we call them dopamine melodies instead of music to underscore the effect rather than the art. The fact that most synthetic music today is hot garbage doesn’t convince me that we couldn’t connect with it in a meaningful way in the future. After all, things like GPT3 are more like talking to a hive of humans than a single alien.
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.
This is my favorite so far, especially the lyrics :D Had to leave the office, to not disturb anyone with my laughter. https://soundcloud.com/openai_audio/classic-pop-in-the-style...

Oh, it's human music! Love it. This is my favorite so far, especially the lyrics :D Had to leave the office, to not disturb anyone with my laughter. https://soundcloud.com/openai_audio/classic-pop-in-the-style...

Regular email+pw coming very soon!
I've had my render queued up for many months, can that happen? It just shows "No renders yet :("
EDIT: Ok, there's text at the bottom that I missed, with some cursory information and a link to http://taggartbonham.me/ . It says:
Built with OpenAI's Jukebox and NVIDIA's StyleGAN2.
