Except to say, poorly I suppose since the point didn't come across, Get Used To It. This is nothing new, your examples are great ones too, the benefits we got are, lots more art for everybody. To take the side of the composer/performer/artist is natural I suppose, but that's such a tiny fraction of humanity. To ignore the clear and positive upside, even claim it doesn't exist, is disingenuous? To criticise AI music f…

> To criticise AI music for being the same as human music, is a curious thing to say if one doesn't want to distinguish the two somehow? I missed that point entirely I guess. I don't know why that sentence was there at all then. This is still not relevant. You don’t need to bring it up again. I wasn’t criticizing it for that. As for the rest of your comment, you didn’t state any upsides for AI generated music, but yo…

Yikes! I criticised arguments. The only time I mentioned you, was to compliment your examples.

It's important to distinguish these things.

> 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.

Meg White is widely regarded as a great drummer by her peers. "Unskilled" is definitely not true: she just plays in a style that is devoid of virtuosity, and it fits the music very well.

Fair assessment. A very skilled artist could use an unskilled style - see Nirvana's cover of Where Did You Sleep Last Night or even John Travolta's dancing in Pulp Fiction.

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…

I don't think I can endure much more AI slop seeping its way into my life.

Suno links have already become what grey screenshots of ChatGPT were just after it came out, listened to a few at first and now I just keep on scrolling.

I had a similar thought -- my perspective:

There will be a TON of these 60-second tracks, and no one wants to listen for anywhere near that long while skimming a feed, so these will now be ignored.

> AI can easily write prompts All our current AIs need prompts to produce content. So, you'd need to enter a prompt so that AI can produce a prompt for you. But I guess you could develop some variant which just generates prompts in a cycle. But most of the generated prompts will pretty bad, so it will in turn produce heaps of crap. That's where the human element is still needed - try a prompt, evaluate the result, tw…

There's way more human input in the training data than in the prompt is my point, many orders of magnitude more. Of course there needs to be something to start some chain, but that's like saying a human needs to press "deploy" or "start", it applies to any tool. Even a perpetual motion machine needs someone to start it.

And your brain also has way more training data (all the knowledge you gained, all the art you've seen) than what you yourself produce as "art".

Suno is great and I already shared my positive thought on its potential back in v2. I have always believed that the essence of digital music is "organized numbers". I think what needs to be thought about is how to use AI in this process. If you look at the results (numbers) generated, then we are indeed very close. But there is another future I believe: I hope AI can compose music with me, like copilot. This is why I…

I just tried it, and if you give it lyrics, it completely ignores the rhyming and verse boundaries. A bit impressive still.

Your comment seems to presume that the line between what a human is and what an AI is will stay clear. I'm predicting that this line will be increasingly blurry. Some people see smartphones as cybernetic extensions. When I call someone across the globe, did I do that or my phone? Is that a capability I posses or my phone? Does it make sense to separate the two? Even if AI gets way better, the one thing that I don't f…

You're talking about agency there I think. No your phone didn't do that, you did. However, if later down the line we create autonomous agents that can initiate the creation of said music themselves then I'd call that enough agency to say that the machine is "making music". Could probably almost do it now; tailored LLMs, image diffusion, music diffusion and you could have an ML agent that acts as a musical artist; pos…

Alright, what if someone has a neural implant and that thing is running and or connected to an AI? Are you still sure the line is clear and sharp in that scenario?

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.

Same, but with ads instead. Sing "mountain dew is for me and you" to get to your floor.
