To me the feeling of AI generated content is less "slop" and more "in-flight magazine". It can have a surface sheen of quality that you can lure you in, but you realise it's devoid of any vitality or soul.

When recorded music was invented, musicians protested. Recorded music was devoid of any vitality or soul. Recorded music still became a hit. Then we got the synthesizer. Again we got the same complaints, lifeless and without soul. The synthesizer still became a hit. Now the next step is happening, and we see the same complaints all over. Only time will show if the next step will happen anyway. My gut feeling tells me…

True. But undeniably, current creative types will be displaced. That will be disruptive, will damage individuals ability to make a living.

Not a lot of individuals, to be honest. Only a handful of people make any kind of living from composing. Millions try it, but have to be content with performing for their friends. Which will continue unchanged.

So the actual economic impact of AI music will be different from the scenarios being described. What is true is, we will all have a lot more musical listening choices. Which is a net good for the rest of us?

> When recorded music was invented, musicians protested > we got the synthesizer. Again we got the same complaints I honestly don't believe this happened. Citations? You make it sound like one day there was no recording and then bam! flac quality recordings of musicians, out of the blue. You do realize it started with exceedingly shitty wax cylinders that sounded absolutely atrocious by today standards (and by the pa…

Not the parent but here's one article:

>After the release of The Jazz Singer in 1927, all bets were off for live musicians who played in movie theaters. Thanks to synchronized sound, the use of live musicians was unnecessary — and perhaps a larger sin, old-fashioned. In 1930 the American Federation of Musicians formed a new organization called the Music Defense League and launched a scathing ad campaign to fight the advance of this terrible menace known as recorded sound.

>The Music Defense League spent over $500,000, running ads in newspapers throughout the United States and Canada. The ads pleaded with the public to demand humans play their music (be it in movie or stage theaters), rather than some cold, unseen machine.

>Joseph N. Weber, the president of the American Federation of Musicians, made it clear in the March, 1931 issue of Modern Mechanix magazine that the very soul of art was at stake in this battle against the machines.

Elevator music ... Hmm, perhaps there is a business model there: an elevator that writes music about the people inside the elevator, and adapts as the situation changes.

I go full dystopian. Elevator music that delivers your compliance trainings in the corporate world...

And requires you to sing-along to reach desired floor.

Instant dystopia Custom audio and video advertising based on profiling and location Looking at my spam folder what my world will look like then

No need for AI or face recognition to do that: BT equipped system in elevator detects phones through their Bluetooth Device Address (sort of MAC address for BT), then calls a central repository of names to pair that phone with an identity, DNS style, then calls an advertising seller (for example, Google) that will happily give back the appropriate ads according to target, time, location and context. Or, in a even more dystopian and much simpler scenario: some system app in the phone detects a beacon in the elevator through the above Device Address, then calls home (again, Google and others) and receives the ads to be shown in the elevator (or any other place with a audio/video system plus BT).

These songs don't have any hooks. Melodies don't get repeated. They all just meander along. I think as they get better at making these great middle of the road songs, edgy music will reemerge. Whatever AI will be good at, will immediately devalue, in the realm of arts. Just how photography gave way to non-realistic art and how drum machines made sloppy drums (or ridiculous apex twins) hip. Then, the artifacts we see…

> drum machines made sloppy drums (or ridiculous apex twins) hip. Other than The White Stripes, what popular bands have had clearly unskilled drummers? I actually enjoy listening to more amateur music, so this might be a request for recommendations of a sort.

AC/DC has notoriously simple drumming in every song. You can learn how to play the entire AC/DC catalogue in a single drum lesson.

Wanting to generate a song about a deceased cat named "boef" (crook), getting an error it's an artist name and not allowed, as well as using the name of a family member, also getting an error message. Wanted to make a cool personalized song for a kid. Hahaha they can never take over the music world with this pious bs.

if you really want that song about your cat here a workflow that works:

1) generate the lyrics with Copilot in gpt4 creative mode.

2) edit them to your taste, apply tag like [chorus], [verse 1], [bridge]

3) use custom mode in suno paste the lyrics in the lyrics box

4) input the desired style

5) generate

The difference here is that no one wants to listen to this shit. It is extremely corny and generic. Cringeworthy. Algorithmic music has already been around for decades and it never became popular. In the 90's it was of interest only to a small group of academic music nerds. The same is true today. Avant-garde shit for nerds. No one wants to listen to it.

You must live under the world's largest rock if you don't think that there's a commercial audience for corny, generic, cringeworthy and shitty music.

Why not sing out a few paragraphs from copyright law, just to make the two fingers to artists more explicit?

Sure, we can try to make it sing section 107.

Which of "purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research" do you think applies?
