What “privilege” is required to learn to play guitar? Was Jimmy Hendrix privileged? Robert Johnson?
People get caught up in their lives. There are a million things you _wanted_ to do that you'll never get to do. And that's unfair.
There are still people that appreciate watching someone play a guitar or violin or piano, or make traditional art, because the character of the artist comes through. For example, with classical pieces, each musician plays the composition a little bit differently, and so their character comes through, their soul. I don't think a machine can really replace that, because there are still people that like to listen to liv…
> Any content published by our Lyria model will be watermarked What is the purpose of marking AI content? I don't really understand. Should we mark content edited in GIMP or Audacity as well?
Because it undermines all human achievement to allow one company with their close source AI model to devalue all other products in the market at a speed previously unprecedented to man and honestly incomprehensible (could take literally less than hours), without us being able to monitor it.

Not sure why I got downvoted. There's a false dichotomy here... I agree that there are really cool things with this technology, opening up a lot of possibilities for music creation for those that aren't well versed in music composition to get their ideas out. I think that's great. Just like how electronic music allowed us to have digital recordings to play the same song cheaply over and over again, and also allowed p…

Its not self expression when something else does the expressing.
Case: I create a painting. When it's done I say: "yes, this represents how I feel, and I want to share it." Case: I create a painting with a prompt and when it's done I say: "yes, this represents how I feel, and I want to share it." What's the difference?

As a indie game developer, this could plausibly enable me to add decent sounding soundtrack to my games. I couldn't afford to pay a proper artist, and my musical skills are... Limited.. It _is_ just a tool, a new instrument essentially, one that is easier to play than most. People being angry that there is now a new instrument that is much easier to play than the one they spent years to learn come across as entitled…
You are exactly why this is a problem. By creating demand for this soulless music we will be inundated by it everywhere. Also all small musicians will basically have to give up because no-one will even bother to save up to pay them. Absolutely trash mindset.
I don't know why it makes you so angry that I want the best tools imaginable to make music, for my games and otherwise?
I promise you won't be inundated by the music I create, and no-one will force you to listen to it.
The mindset that you have the right to dictate what tools I can and cannot use to express myself via music is downright dystopian and extremely autocratic. If me creating some tunes for my own benefit in my basement scares you, I think you might need to revise your world view, or all that anxiety is gonna have a detrimental effect on your health sooner or later.

That you created a prompt, not a painting.
Art is going to become less about creating beauty, and more about transmitting information.
