Me when I saw the title: Oh fuck my petunias. Me when I saw the video: Whew, this is much less timeline-scary than I was afraid it would be.
The petunias were like "Oh no, not again."

#142The biggest achievement here is managing to avoid a Youtube copyright violation for the two songs that were incorporated.
My first thought was wondering if I could use it as background music in a twitch stream without the vod getting muted...

You're afraid of cheese?
Not afraid just triggered, disgusted and uncomfortable(I get goosebumps), plus the image stays burned in my mind for hours , constantly triggering me, kinda like when you see a graphic image.
Wait, any image of any kind of cheese? We're not talking about trypophobia here (the disgust of images with holes) but tyrophobia, a fear of cheese.

#144This 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?
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,…
> I think AI music has a following now because it's interesting and novel, and that gives it a story, but once it's mainstream, that story is boring
I'd have agreed 10 years ago, but I swear every time someone drives past with their stereo bumping, it's "robot music" (as I smart-assedly refer to heavily quantized/autotuned vocals). I guess it will probably still die out eventually, but that fad has been a lot longer-lived than I'd expected.

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…
It's called library music. It's much used in ads, trailers, and corporate productions. Ad agencies sometimes also commission music. Ad use pays incredibly well, because unlike streaming you get a non-trivial fee every time it airs on TV/radio/cinema. Some musicians make very successful careers doing this.
Always seemed like the modern analogue to the older practice of artists only being able to make a living if they could secure patronage. The days of (semi) direct payment for physical copies of recorded media are starting to seem like an aberration rather than the rule.

This sounds like an application I want to play with. Given a playlist, generate an endless tune based on remixes of all the tracks.
That is something that would be of interest to those working with splitting audio into 'stems', drums, bass, voice, music. Algorithm DJay can do a version of that 'on the fly'. Serato Studio is a kind of remix 'on the fly', but there are many others. Both have automix settings that work very well, especially if you line up similarly grouped tracks.
Yeah, I've not used the "auto" features to that extent, but I've DJ'ed at a few events and festivals just for fun and it's super convenient to have software that has analyzed my music library for BPM and key. I still get to play whatever I want to play, but if I'm drawing a blank or just looking for inspiration, I can sort by all tracks within "n" BPM of the current track and in the same/compatible key.
Then if I really want to play something that wouldn't normally fit with an easy transition, I can always adjust they key or tempo on the fly. There are limits before it starts to sound weird, but that can also be a neat way to mess with a song. Add a riff or a phrase from one song into the current one, but only because I'm able to halve the speed or chop up the time signature to match.
And that's just me as a barely fluent hobbyist. Experienced DJs can do some great stuff. Even a non-"mixing" DJ like a radio DJ can string together songs based on thematic connections, sneaky relations between artist or lyric or even the conditions in the room. Those can be a lot of fun and would be a lot harder to automate than simple beat matching.

#148I was dissapointed to see that while the videos are hosted on YouTube, all videos on the channel are unlisted.
Luckily the video IDs can be found at https://www.thismusicvideodoesnotexist.com/assets/urls.json

#149It looks like this has involved uploading tens of thousands of videos to youtube... (guessing by the video names). All unlisted and without ads... Presumably uploaded with the API... Thats tens of TB's of free storage provided by Youtube there... With no ads... Do you not run a risk of a ban for that?
There are only 14 videos linked to from the the website (see my other comment on this thread). The video IDs could be seeds for generation, or some other identifier besides sequential numbers.
