I've tried to look a little bit around but couldn't find anything, so I'll ask here. Any plans to release the model(s) under an open license ?

All models for all types of content will eventually have open source equivalents. The game is to build a great product.

I'm just observing until there's a Stable Diffusion 1.5 equivalent of music generation. Open license, under 8GB of VRAM, large communities for sharing fine-tuned models, plugins like ControlNet, etc. Then this AI music generation will really take off and yield flawless results.

I know it will happen, just like SD happened after DALL-E. Bonus points to whoever does so for using C++ and Vulkan instead of Pytorch and CUDA. :-)

It's too bad Emad didn't get this one out before getting axed.

Yeah, the whole emotion thing is bs imo. The idea that a machine can't produce something evocative is a defense mechanism, in the same way people still claim that we'll never make sentient AI because humans are somehow magical and special. Humans can find emotion and associations in anything, it's what our brains do. I could totally generate some AI art that tugs at the heart strings if they don't know it's AI, or "i…

I am not interested in a fake soul, as I am not interested in an sex doll. This is independent of how good the fake is.

You won't be able to tell is the point.

I think the problem here is the same one as the other current music generation services. Iteration is so important to creativity and right now you can't really properly iterate. In order to get the right song you just spray and pray and keep generating until one that is sufficient arrives or you give up. I know you hint at this being a future direction of development but in my opinion it's a key feature to take these…

I've noticed that the output tends to suffer when you pass in longer lyrics, too. Lots of my experiments start off fairly strong but then it's like it starts to forget, and the lyrics lose any rhythmic structure or just becomes incoherent.

At some point it's just not efficient to try and get the desired output purely through a prompt, and it would be helpful to download the output in a format you can plug into your DAW to tweak.

Not sure how you'd execute this, but I think a great method of control for rhythm would be like a karaoke bouncing ball that you control with a keystroke. eg:

  -I write out my lyrics
  -you break my lyrics down to [x] syllables
  -I choose this rhythm control option
  -I hit the spacebar [x] times, in my desired rhythm based on those syllables (maybe a karaoke style visual to guide this), & you calculate timings between each keystroke and then attempt to create rhythm based on that

I think programmers should stay away from trying to be musicians. Have you thought of some of the people that might lose their jobs because of this technology?

Analogically, engineers should not invent cars, because that would make carters obsolete

It's not an absolute rule. The rate of adoption and evolution should be taken into account. Just like some speeds for driving are safe and some are unsafe.

Technological advancements have always disrupted industries. Should we stop innovating just because some way of doing some thing might become less profitable? Absolutely not.
