Does anyone know what this is? I see a lot of people jumping to a lot of conclusions, but no explanation on the site. EDIT: Ok, there's text at the bottom that I missed, with some cursory information and a link to http://taggartbonham.me/ . It says: Built with OpenAI's Jukebox and NVIDIA's StyleGAN2. Watch another or contact me

a GAN for music videos, in the same vein as thispersondoesnotexist.com and thisworddoesnotexist.com - here's an index of them https://thisxdoesnotexist.com/

This is scary and what I feared would eventually happen. How long before AI is better than every music producer, trained on all of music how likeable something is? How long before fake influencers on IG and TikTok completely dominate by having more addictive personalities and videos to follow than real people?

That's not how music works. My bet is we will see crappy music for ads replaced with AI generated stuff, but NFTs etc may actually mean a much more interesting market for real musicians moving forward..

I'm asking if anyone here knows anything about it beyond what's implied in the URL (I'm aware of the other websites with similar URLs). Things like: how was it made, what are the inputs, is it generated on the fly each time you go to the page?

I have tyro-phobia and yeah those Gan images freak me out, any solution for tyro-phobia?

You're afraid of cheese?

Not afraid just triggered, disgusted and uncomfortable(I get goosebumps), plus the image stays burned in my mind for hours , constantly triggering me, kinda like when you see a graphic image.

I don't know. Maybe stare at it long enough until it becomes boring?

Rolls eyes, absolutely not lol.

I don't have it to the point of phobia, but I do find images of multiple tiny holes (especially with eye-looking things inside) in animals and plants disturbing. I think it is indeed a natural response. Animals/plants with lots of tiny holes look diseased to me. By the way, if you do have this to the point of phobia, don't look at images of the Surinam Toad, whose young grow out of holes in the mother's back . Really…

Never doing that lol

The music is made using OpenAIs Jukebox like others have said.

My guess is that this is using this repo for making the visual part https://github.com/mikaelalafriz/lucid-sonic-dreams

There's two fallacies I think you've touched on here, one is that there is an "objectively best" music. Music is so tightly coupled to cultural movements, very subjective, and extremely broad in scope, it just can't be the case. The second I feel is that people would still be interested in AI music in a meaningful way. I think AI music has a following now because it's interesting and novel, and that gives it a story,…

> one is that there is an "objectively best" music. Case in point, I enjoy some shit. No way AI will replace lo-fi recorded-in-underground-bunker limited-cassette-tape-release atmospheric black metal / noise. I mean it might, but here's a take from a different angle: art is not just the end result, it's the process and the story behind it. Nobody objectively gives a shit about a selfie from the early 1500's, but beca…

"Process is art"
