Yet another cherry picked attempt at music gen with a "demo" page that only contains the outputs that happen to not sound like incoherent noise. There's a reason ChatGPT and Midjourney are so popular, but no music-gen tools have even come close: you can actually create stuff with them that is useful and/or enjoyable. Good music gen is much harder, and the reasons for this (still unclear) are pretty important to the future of AI, imo.

The vocals (on second page of table) are really interesting. If you walked into a club, you might not notice they are nonsense, but it's just good enough BS to be convincing.

I just popped in to mention that part. It kinda feels like when Dalle generates text - like from a distance you recognize it, but it is utterly gibberish. It's interesting because there are certain parts of machine generated outputs we zero in on - for image generation it's typically eyes and, if it has it, text. It will be interesting to watch what evolves as tell-tale sign for computer generated things.

Their current demos seem worse than riffusion results I get on average. Music gen is hard because music is inherently a composed of many many different instruments, each with unique sound and function. Simply training end-to-end will almost always end up badly.
