Is this HN? Aren't people supposed to tinker with tech for no reason other than seeing if they can? Is everything that involves a transformer now just AI BAD? Is that what the world has devolved into? Each side screaming "Orange Man Bad" and endless variations at each other?

Given the AI crowd is very loudly telling us since years how humans will be replaced by LLMs and we will all be poor and left behind if we don’t join their cult, I think it’s a perfectly reasonable reaction. Anything with AI mixed with Art or other human experience is suspicious.

Also, yes, the orange fascist who attempted to coup his way to power, raped women, and is destroying democratic institutions is indeed bad.

I would love something like that, except that I play the melody, and it produces proper 3-4 part accompaniment, preferably in good baroque style. Extra bonus if it could also write it into a file in a format suitable for music editing programs.

Oh no, AI will take our jobs??? FUCKING LET IT!

Who even wants to do all these jobs if we don't HAVE to??

Ask politicians to give us UBI.

You want to attack the shit that could make shit easier instead of attacking the 200 year old institutions in place that ensure class divisions and perpetual debt and wage slavery? Smart buggers

No they haven’t. It’s like two guys that nobody really believes. You specifically seek that information out to get mad, then proceed to see it where it’s not. Like when someone makes a cool personal project about their hobby and it happens to involve AI.

That's a fun idea. You could start playing the piano and it kicks in with a base and drums for a jazz band.

This is really fun. Scaler 3 starts with a chord progression and lets you break it down into musical performances and parts. Useful for ideation when producing.

Would be fun to get a midi clock going and play some chords on my piano and have my synth start jamming along with the bass and my keyboard doing some performance. Or any combination of the above.
