Earlier quoted context omitted.

Because art is the low hanging fruit of "close enough" applications.

I wonder if this is true for music. Our ears are much more discerning than our eyes when it comes to art it seems.

I mean listening to samples on the link above I'd hardly call it music so I'd say you're right.

This is what I've been talking about all year. It is such a relief to see it actually happen. In summary: The search for AGI is dead. Intelligence was here and more general than we realized this whole time. Humans are not special as far as intelligence goes. Just look how often people predict that an AI cannot X or Y or Z. And then when an AI does one of those things they say, "well it cannot A or B or C". What is ne…

Generated contents without filtering/validation are worthless.

I predict some kind of testing, validation or ranking be developed to filter out generated contents. Each domain has its own rules - you need to implement validation for code and math, fact checks for text, contrasting the results from multiple solutions for problem solving, and aesthetic scoring for art.

But validation is probably harder than learning to generate in the first place, probably a situation similar to closing the last percent in self driving.

Pretty nice, I was just talking to a friend about needing a music version of chatgpt, so thank you for this.

Wondering if it would be possible to create a version of this that you can point at a person SoundsCloud and have it emulate their style / create more music in the style of the original artist. I have a couple albums worth of downtempo electronic music I would love to point something like this at and see what it comes up with.

I know it sounds like I am going to be sarcastic, but I mean all of this in earnest and with good intention. Everything this generates is somehow worse than the thing it generated before it. Like the uncanny valley of audio had never been traversed in such high fidelity. Great work!

This is a genius idea. Using an already-existing and well-performing image model, and just encoding input/output as a spectrogram... It's elegant, it's obvious in retrospective, it's just pure genius. I can't wait to hear some serious AI music-making a few years from now.

You already hear a ton of them. Lofi music on these massively popular channels are basically auto-generated "music" + auto generated artwork.

Was just watching an interview of Billy Corgan (smashing pumpkins) on Rick Beato’s YouTube[1] last night where billy was lamenting the inevitable future where the “psychopaths” in the music biz will use ai and auto tune to churn out three chord non-music mumble rap for the youth of tomorrow, or something to that effect. It was funny because it’s the sad truth. It’s already here but new tech will allow them to cut cos…

How, when everyone and their dog can generate such music? It's gonna be like stock photography in the age of SD.
