Can this sheet-music scanner also expand works so they don't contain loops, essentially removing all repeat-signs?

"Repeats" may be the term you're looking for. That would be interesting, however in some pieces it could make the overall document MUCH longer. It would be similar to loop unrolling.

I don't care if the document becomes longer. Finding repeat signs is driving me nuts :)

> We ended up deciding: what the heck, we might as well meet the market demand.

this is my general philosophy and, in my case, this is why I deploy things on blockchains

so many people keep wondering about whether there will ever be some mythical unfalsifiable to define “mainstream” use case, and ignoring that crypto natives just … exist. and have problems they will pay (a lot) to solve.

to the author’s burning question about whether any other company has done this. I would say yes. I’ve discovered services recommended by ChatGPT and other LLMs that didnt do what was described of them, and they subsequently tweaked it once they figured out there was new demand

This is an interesting example of an AI system effecting a change in the physical world.

Some people express concerns about AGI creating swarms of robots to conquer the earth and make humans do its bidding. I think market forces are a much more straightforward tool that AI systems will use to shape the world.

Why would anyone think this is a bad thing as the article hints?

"We’ve got a steady stream of new users" and it seems like a simple feature to implement.

This is the exact chaos AI brings that's wonderful. Forcing us to evolve in ways we didn't think of.

I can think of a dozen reasons why this might be bad, but I see no reason why they have more weight than the positive here.

Take the positive side of this unknown and run with it.

We have decades more of AI coming up, Debbie Downers will be left behind in the ditch.

If you build on LLMs you can have unknown features. I was going to add an automatic translation feature to my natural language network scanner at http://www.securday.com but apparently using the ChatGPT 4.1 does automatic translation so I didn’t have to add it.

Yes, that's a Soundslice feature called "Expand repeats," and you can read about it here:

That's available for any music in Soundslice, not just music that was created via our scanning feature.

I find it amusing that it's easier to ship a new feature than to get OpenAI to patch ChatGPT to stop pretending that feature exists (not sure how they would even do that, beyond blocking all mentions of SoundSlice entirely.)

I think the benefit of their approach isn’t that it’s easier, it’s that they still capitalise on ChatGPTs results.

Your solution is the equivalent of asking Google to completely delist you because one page you dont want ended up on Googles search results.
