Glad you liked it! Sometimes you get lucky and get something great other times it takes quite a few tries to get anything decent. Still leagues faster than traditional music production. I've been messing with AI music for well over a year now and just recently decided to upload the better ones I get. Oh, and you're absolutely right, it's scary as hell.
I totally get it. My dad is a lifelong musician and showing him some of this tech blows his mind, as it does mine. He is very talented and can sing, play guitar, write and so on. Surprisingly, he has been more open to learning about it and hasn't shown any prejudice against AI generated material. He's not old, but old enough to have witnessed the birth of the internet, so this stuff is insane to him. This is important in my opinion because the musician who adapts and can utilize the tools no matter what they are will be more likely to find ways produce a better product that reflects their vision. This goes for basically anything, not just music and art. It comes from a place of control over the project. We didn't have electronic mixing until the 70's, autotune til the late 90's and now we have AI in 2024. As times change, more tools become available for creatives that generally make the process easier. Often the argument is that these new technologies are detrimental because they take the effort or skill out of something. While I think that is a totally valid argument, many pieces of art we admire as a civilization every day were made in minutes, and some took centuries. Some took very little skill and others required the mastery of hundreds. Thousands, even. Each is appreciated in their own respective way. Many of the songs that broke records and sold platinum were made on the spot. The artist that has the tools available to them will be more likely to produce an accurate portrayal of their vision quicker than an artist of equal skill that doesn't have those same tools. Which will only inevitably lead to faster production, higher production value, and most importantly, control over a final product. An allegory to this would be the printing press. The printing press has been, in many ways, the greatest invention in the past millennium. Without it the transfer of knowledge would have been drastically slowed and libraries would have been continental. It greatly accelerated our species, and was not widely accepted at first because of the established standard. They were scared of economies suffering and loss of prestige, as the knowledge at that time was extremely valuable in its scarcely written form. Had the printing press never existed, we can speculate most of all new technologies never would have either. I'm not saying AI is anywhere near as revolutionary as the printing press, but it does have its potential. It certainly is more influencing than even the internet, which is substantial in my opinion. These projects that I make and upload here do take time, and I do try very hard to produce something that is genuinely worth listening to. The added bonus being I can make it all free and commercially usable which benefits small creators. With all that said I've always listened to music of any kind from the perspective of if I like it, I like it. Genre and skill be damned. Sorry for the wall of text, and thanks for watching!
@@uncannytranny From what I've seen the general consensus of generative AI is.. well.. it takes the creative aspect away.. and as you pointed out yourself - it "takes the effort or skill out of something". I don't think the previous technological advancements should be even remotely compared to generative AI. Because yes, they speeded up work of many things in many ways imaginable, however up until that point it's always been *you* making the idea, *you* taking effort, going through creative process, *you* giving the work of art a 'soul'. But this? I won't judge how much work was put into this song specifically, however the idea of just having anything generated within just a few mouse clicks or by just inserting a prompt goes against the very foundations of art... For example how can you claim something like that is 'yours'? Where is all of what was generated by AI coming from? It's quite literally the equivalent of you telling someone to go to do something. You didn't do it. Someone else did... or in the case of AI, well 'something' did. That does not make you an artist. In order to be artist, logically, it should be the person who *makes* art, and not who is *asking* for art. That's the fundamental problem of generative AI. Notice how I'm criticizing 'generative AI', and not AI altogether. Because I'm also not against AI in of itself. It has proven useful with problem solving, automating tedious tasks where it can sometimes take tremendous amount of effort solely for analyzing data and other stuff. Heck, even something like ChatGPT has proven to be the best translation tool you could ever find. If anything, I personally believe humanity should ultimately achieve a goal of solving everything that has a *definitive result* by an AI. Something that you cannot do the same with art because art is not *definitive*, since it can literally be anything.
really good
Thanks broheim, appreciate you watching
Yes it is
@@uncannytrannygreat music
It's terrifyingly impressive that this song is made by AI... The worst part : Is pretty good.

The song sounds good.. it rubs me the wrong way though... that is, in fact, made by AI.
