Meta is truly on fire with the ML releases, outpacing Google and friends. Kudos to them!
I'm genuinely thrilled about the potential release of LLaMA2.

#22Maybe 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 th…
A flood of garbage film/music has always existed, we just don't remember it because its uninteresting. However, I think modern rec algorithms (like the Netflix home page) are recommending more mediocre stuff than the old system, and the streaming boom did produce an abnormal glut of junk. Anyway I think AI is going to spawn a music remixing/game modding/tv extending renaissance. They perform much better when pointing…
It was a smaller flood though, when it required lots of money to record an album / make a movie. Gatekeepers kept most of it out. Now anybody can do it, so there is both a lot more chaff to sort through, and an outpouring of creativity.

You are getting older. Every generation thinks the same, that media is getting worse, discounting the survivorship bias that occurs when they look back on their favorite music and discarding all of the bad music that was present back then.
This is no doubt true, but there are a number of studies which suggest that, at least in the case of music, things really have gotten rather worse over the last two decades, thanks to corporatization and consolidation of the production model.

You sound old.

#26I wonder if any of those services can generate editable output for a software like Ableton or Logic Pro.
Seems to be more useful as an "assistant" for music producers, similar to how Copilot operates.
Re: MusicGen: Simple and controllable music generation
#27Music 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.
One consequence is bespoke music that changes dynamically, e.g. in games.
There's also a relative dearth of royalty free music for independent content creators to use. AI would enable them to produce better content on a limited budget.
People who enjoy creating music from scratch will be unaffected - recognition and financial rewards are tiny already for most.

There was always garbage, you just don't remember it.

#29Earlier quoted context omitted.
I downvoted because your comment is unnecessarily passive agressive and combative.
Is it? He stated something as a fact and I want him to take the viewpoint of other persons than himself and think about it. :)
If there is a viewpoint you want people to think about, it would be much more productive to just state what it is.

#30This is incredible!! For all the “AI is stealing our music” naysayers here consider that all art is derivative or it lacks context and makes it nonsensical, and artists learn too.
