Couldn’t be less interested — art is interesting for its human qualities. This is pointless dreck.
What would you think of the piece if the artist was a young girl? A grown Turkish man? Someone who is deaf? A neo-Nazi Holocaust denier? A rich businessman using AI and just looking to make more money? A poor teenager using a computer at their library?
I think most people’s like/dislike/perception of the song would be colored by who made it and how it was made.
You can’t always separate the art from the artist.
I mean that’s where AI shines for me, letting 1 person (or few people) accomplish what would have required teams of skilled people to do. It’s the same story with tech in general. I write code that runs on web/android/iOS that has processed over a half a million dollars through it as a single-person company. That was all pre-AI, my point being that technology and the tools it produces allow us to do amazing things. I see AI as only furthering that.
Now I can create custom sounds using AI, let AI help with marketing copy that I’m not good at, have it generate cartoon/simple pictures to explain a process for my software, etc. A world limited not by my skillset but by my imagination.
I know people hate electron apps but the alternative is often no app (not a native app), in the same vein tools like this will allow people who can write lyrics but not music to share their songs. It won’t be for everyone but there is value in it.
There's a thought and intentionality to what's being created — I don't want what comes out of a prompt.
I want to follow artists and their output, not an algorithm or AI that mimics ones and is trained by questionably feeding on their output.
No, none of this is appealing. I can't control what anyone else does, but for me? No, no thanks.
The vast majority of people will just use a different AI tool to generate the lyrics, use Suno to make the music, and then use midjourney to generate the album art. And then they'll throw a tasteless post up on Instagram about how they "made a song".
In my mind this includes SUVs, cheap plastic crap, anything and everything disposable, stupid decisions like open/glass doored fridges & freezers in supermarkets, etc. We're allowing the environment to be destroyed so that we can buy a cheap plastic whatever that we throw away after less than a year.
What have you used and recommend for this? Gpt4?
But I also find it an idiotic attempt. It doesn't inform us about anything, and it makes any idiot with a mouse think they can create. Instead, they're listening to music that's worse than what YouTube has to offer.
Can you give some examples? In my experience, most music, even music we think of as banal or boring, had a pretty significant amount of effort, and creativity, put into its creation.
What's worrying is that even e.g. amateur film makers can now access something like Suno, and won't be offering their amateur musician friends an opportunity to learn. And once the incentive to learn and improve has gone, people will stop and music will wither.
