#2Pretty good at transcribing the text, but the outputted music feels for lack of a better word “safe”. For example the kicking beat is way to generic and soft.

#3Except for the 2 min lowfi demo, I found the examples to be pretty bad. Sounds like the music is being played in a cardboard box in your garage’s corner.

#4Music is already one of the most extremely devalued art forms given how oversupplied it is. Boggles the mind to think of the consequences of technology like this reaching quality levels where the differences between it and professionally produced music are imperceptible.

Just like the first generated AI images were full of blurry artefacts,
Then 2 months later, they weren’t.
You’ve got to start somewhere.

#7Maybe I'm just getting older but I feel like the quality of both music and film has seriously declined over the last 5-10 years. Maybe the good stuff is still out there but lost in a sea of average garbage that has surfaced to the top.
Something tells me AI isn't going to rescue us either. I just sampled a bunch of these generated tracks and they immediately remind me of the average, mediocre, soul-lacking content that most music and film is today.

#8And here's the code: https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft just so you know for the weights specifically:
"The weights in this repository are released under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 license as found in the LICENSE_weights file."
Combine it with AI voices and voice cloning and so begins the further devaluation of musicians and artists.
Might as well accelerate it and see what happens. What could possibly go wrong?

#9But how is GenA going to prompt this thing? how will they know what "80s music" is about and all.
In other news, goodbye Youtube audio library, this is pretty good
At 3.3B parameters this should be running locally, right Meta? (Yes it does, instructions on github)
I 'm not sure I've seen any MIDI LLMs , wouldn't that be more fun to do ?

#10Would be interesting to see how well it can handle modulations: “play john lennon's "imagine" in a minor key”
