These people need be given a button to call an inference url with just text. When you realize that's all a "model" is doing its easy to understand that its not sentient.

If you go to the "MyBoyfriendIsAI" subreddit or what it now is called, you'll see that many people claim to perfectly well understand how it works, some of them even being software developers themselves, yet they still describe what they feel as "love", even though they know it's just numbers being activated in different ways. I'm not sure how to explain it either, for the folks who seem to understand yet "believe" a…

I’d describe it by and large at this stage as a possible mental health crisis developing.

AI slop, yadda yadda, I get it... But I just want to say, as a former failed bedroom producer who just doesn't have the time (and skill) to make the kind of music I want... I had a BLAST using Suno. I was able to "remaster" some of my old tracks, add in new sections, etc, and isolate/download/edit the stems. I understand it's not fully my creative output... but hearing one of my old, shitty, ableton live projects rem…

Tracks very well with something I saw recently, that the biggest fans of and users of generative AI for writing (and in your case music) are people who want to write a book but never got around to doing it, not people who want to read and pay for books

That makes sense right? At the advent of computer DAWs, the biggest fans and users wasn't people listening to music, but people who want to make music. Production tools are indeed meant for people producing things, not the consumers, as it should be :)

I think that's almost unfair, to say someone can't feel feelings without being labeled as part of a "mental health crisis". Just because you and I don't understand it doesn't mean it's inherently bad. I mean I think it probably could be bad, but not just because I don't understand how they're feeling those feelings. But I wouldn't label those people "sick", feels borderline disrespectful.

Advertising AI for medical purposes seems to be the new trend. That sells easier than "45,000 job losses". The result is still unbearable. YouTube videos with AI slop background are an instant no-watch.

Did you read the article? There was no mention of medical treatments. There are arguments to be made. This isn't one of them.

One-shot generations? Multi-track stem generation? Use of Suno at all in the process of composition? Is slop a function defined by the tool or the users level of effort in using it?

Don't bother, the slop line has been drawn in the sand and people will stay on their side. I also think that slop is low effort and/or low/zero iteration output, but beyond that the sloppiness fades away, but good luck convincing the hardcore slop hunters to see things in a nuanced way (in before ocean boiling, that's usually where that argument goes next).

It’s a very useful line in the sand. No Gen AI anywhere near art.

Once you add in a level of nuance, youre bickering about the degree which is far worse argument to be having, tactically.

Nah fuck this. Suno is slop.

I have come to understand the usage of "slop" as possibly the sloppiest thing of all: Something that looks like critique, if it were not so entirely devoid of content.

It is the absolute "sloppiest". It's just become a lazy ill-considered critique worth nothing.
