I believe David Guetta that he was really just playing around with these cool tools here (who isn't blown away by them?). But I guess it won't go unnoticed by the teams and investors of uberduck and other AI startups that this is the perfect guerilla marketing stunt. Gotta admit it, I am guilty too, never heard of uberduck before and caught myself creating an account and browsing their pricing site today.

what makes you think it wasnt sponsored by uberduck?

It wasn't, we didn't know until it happened.

Possibly yes, though it's more likely that OpenAI owes royalties on the revenue they get from ChatGPT. We have yet to see this play out in court, but we likely will in the following years.

OpenAI will 100% need to start paying royalties. For instance it knows a whole lot of things that are not publicly available and locked away behind science journal paywalls.

I don't see why that would require them to pay royalties.

The training data is also publicly available, https://pile.eleuther.ai/

Which one of you is going to make a real time AI rap battle website? I want to see AI Mark Grist slay some more teenagers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp4wEewrQdU

If you want to do this, email me z@uberduck.ai. There is a LOT of awesome shit that can be built.

The music industry will not like this, seems like a short circuit around royalties and the value of a music deal with an artist.

yeah - i wonder if uberduck has paid licenses to any of the rappers voices they have available on their site... they're flouting a sample clip with eminem on their homepage. this just seems like clever marketing to me.

We have some, working on more...

Suspect Eminem himself would have a more nuanced take on this than the ‘of course this is okay’ or ‘this is never okay’ responses it’s getting right here. Number 1: Hip hop’s built (to at least as great an extent as EDM) on sampling. And while the degree of respect for clearing and getting authorization to use samples has varied over the years and between artists, as a reference point, Eminem’s breakthrough ‘My Name…

As Guetta notes on Twitter, he's not releasing this commercially. Both hip hop and EDM have a huge culture of sampling live things they couldn't sample and release on an album. Eminem has rapped over songs he doesn't own at concerts.

> As Guetta notes on Twitter, he's not releasing this commercially.

Yet he used it on stage, on a gig he's getting paid for. How is that not using it commercially?

What song did Eminem write that he would be owed loyalties for?

His entire discography, the thing that ChatGPT's impersonation of him is based on.

None of his discography is being used verbatim. The UK has already determined AI training is explicitly protected use, and does not require rights licenses or royalties.

Some countries will try to hamstring AI development by saddling it with perversions of copyright use, and those countries will increasingly fall behind technologically and economically.

A YouTuber called "30 Hertz" has been making several fake Eminem songs (+other artists) for 2 years now, in very good quality. An example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMunOszEQHE

Oh wow, you built this. Congratulations, really impressive! Do you have a post somewhere about how you built those AIs?

Maybe I am late to recognize that, but with recent developments I get the feeling that AI and machine learning are really getting somewhere now. If it goes forward with the current trajectory, then this could change the world just like radio, television or the internet did.

Those things advanced average people’s reach. This is not doing that.

How so, isn't that exactly what it is doing to an even greater degree? Those who would never have the capability of doing something are now able to do something they only dreamed about.

It is exactly the inverse of previous advancements, in that those already at the top don't get nearly as much benefit as those at the bottom since I will be able to copy your skill no matter how good you are and reproduce it infinitely.
