How do Soundraw know for sure the auto-generated music is original and therefore royalty-free? So not close enough to an already released, copyrighted, piece of music.

Given that not even an artist who handcrafts the whole song does know for sure I'd say they don't. They just use generic enough loops that the result is also too generic to run afoul of someone

I've used soundraw.io and aiva.ai The first to quickly get some background music the latter to generate more original music (although harder to configure you can also edit the resulting midi directly)

It still will not replace an original composition but I can totally see a Dall-E, StableDiffusion, Midjourney moment for music on the horizon in the not too distant future

Sounds worse or on par with most stock/royalty free music. It's interesting that you can actually hear the absence of a soul.

I wonder if you'd have had this impression if you hadn't known that it was algorithmically created. Could be an interesting test to make, a turing test of sorts.

Lol. Each Time I see such software, it's for paid. Where are open source and open data geek guys? Imagine this software or Spotify for free and open source and distributed whereas centralised. Come on geeks

There are 35 million released songs. Completely original music is a myth. If it doesn't use samples without a proper license, then it's legally OK.

This reminds me of Magix Music Maker "automatic song compositor" I forgot the exact name, but It was a function inside their software that would automatically compose a song following some settings you could choose (like which genre and sample asset you could wanted). It was not AI though.

Not AI, at least not for the composition process. It algorithmically combines a library of loops using genre templates: https://napolitano.de/2021/11/12/soundraw-ai-music-creation-...

To defend the website, it can still be argued to be called AI. Rule based methods are still said by some to be a section of AI.

I understand that nowadays when we think of AI we imagine deep learning and neural networks, but nowhere on the website does it claim that that is the case.

Think of ELIZA for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA

One of the earliest chatbots. Entirely rule based, but from the historical perspective undeniably classed as AI.

All those AI songs sound like they are straight from sample packs previews. I am sure that in a few years we will get a real AI music generator, where you can enter a prompt like "a rock song with Freddie Mercury's vocals and lyrics about space".
