sounds like one of those free use songs that youtube provides when you upload a video so you don’t get copy striked. people actually LIKE this drivel? wow.
I feel like “ai generated” music when it’s not lyrical isn’t such an awful thing - ambient sound and the like. I mean, music may not be mathematically solved yet, but we’ve certainly had music-generation algorithms for decades, and there’s no real harm in that. There’s a time and a place for a human to create art, and times for artificially created pleasant sound.
It’s always interesting seeing the line people will draw between what they see as art vs product. I would be disappointed by anyone who tricked me into listening to theft-generated music, whether people consider it legitimate art or not
I like to split it into the art and the craft. AI can execute the craft of drawing or creating music or lyrics, but only a human can exercise and elevate a medium to something that really speaks to people on anything more than a superficial level.
It’s perfectly fine to like something that isn’t art. Hell, it’s perfectly fine to have a definition of art that can include AI, that’s just a framing for talking about the things AI does well vs. the things it doesn’t. I find that where a human can mix different things together in a way that enriches the whole, AI mixes things together in contradictory ways because it lacks human experience. It’s why, AI pictures usually come out flat and lifeless or includes nonsense details that don’t fit or includes requested details in incongruous ways.
That said, I only know about Hatsuni Miku through my kids. I don’t really know anything about that specifically.
Nah, Vocaloids like Hatsune Miku aren’t AI. Vocaloid music uses voice synthesizers, with each character being a unique voicebank with a mascot. But the final result of a Vocaloid song is completely man-made. They’re closer to instruments than they are to AI.
Here’s the track for the curious.
It’s pretty basic with lyrics that are pretty pandering. Not exactly a good song, but here we are.

I’m pretty sure the lofi music streams on YouTube are majority ai-generated. But I just put it on for background music, I don’t actually listen to it.

product vs process
How something is made may become the new curiosity, especially when novel approaches and instruments are used.

Isn’t hatsuni miku also ai though and people seem to like that.

They already have concerts and shit like that hologram 2pac so I reckon AI concert will become more common.
Obligatory fuck Spotify!
I’m not really familiar with Spotify, but at least for me — I don’t have a Spotify account — it only plays the first bit.
I think that this is the same song, but on YouTube Music.

Country music lovers should feel stupid by letting this become a hit. I mean is AI going play the Grand Ole Opry?
Virtual bands playing human-composed and -recorded music predate present music from generative AI, and they’ve done performances.
I imagine at some point, probably someone will pair virtual bands with AI-generated music, and do performances of it, if they haven’t already.

Miku more like digital voice synthesizer.

But like…that requires work. The whole point of an AI band is to not do any work.
This is a spray and pray approach. Generate 200 songs. Hope one gets popular, make money off that from Spotify. Move on. Switch genres.
Are you talking about taking Chuck E. Cheese on the road?

That fucking scarecrow again
This is exactly it.
The lyrics are basically just the “I’m a piece of shit and won’t change” genre, and apparently that resonates with a lot of people somehow.
The only time I’ve had an enemy in my life I was 6 years old, I don’t get these songs man.
