It ir really astounding what is possible with AI now. Try Our AI Music of Queen... We think it is the best on the internet right now... and give us a comment.
@@QueenAI-d3g Oof. Disagree. Just... poor stuff. It does come up with more original stuff than regular mainstream pop. But that's a terrifyingly low barrier. The semblances are impressive. The songs, the individual elements aren't very good.
It’s a shame you didn’t do any comparisons with music from composers such as Messiaen, Prokofiev or Scriabin. I think AI would be much worse at imitating music from 20th century composers, as those pieces didn’t follow a stern set of rule, in the same way that music before the 19th century did. I don’t think it’s that hard to write music that sounds like Mozart could have written it. To write music that sounds like it could have been written by Stravinsky, that’s a much greater challenge
The pop one was actually obvious to me. Listening to the vocals you can tell the production is very poor. What’s wrong about it, I can’t exactly say haha, but it’s just scratchy and uncomfortable
For me it was very clear because A.I did some reaaaaaaaally weird rhythm and phrasing choices. In the Violin and Piano ones is extremely obvious these points I think.
How odd, I partly picked the violin one correctly because the real human one did some weird things (e.g. some slides) that I didn't think the AI would "dare" to.
@@BenDRobinson The thing is those "weird" things you mention are actually choices that make the phrasing make sense. + the rhythm is actually something coherent. Even in the Ravel one that had an odd rhythm, it served a purpose and made sense.
For someone who listens to a lot of pop, that one was easy because of how muffled the instruments were in the second clip, but I got tricked by the opera and choir. The more familiar we are with the genre, the easier it is to tell.
I have to say, as an amateur violinist, the first violin clip sounded very, very clearly artificial to me. The way that the notes came together just sounded so wrong. AI might understand how the violin sounds at a basic level, but it can't yet understand the mechanics of the violin and how that meaningfully influences the sound.
I don't even play, but I've obviously seen people play it. I played viola for 6 months in 5th grade, but that probably didn't even leave an impression on me today. That one was still very obvious. I was trying to picture the person playing both pieces. The second I could imagine a person, but the second had weird phrasing that didn't make sense for a normal person with a normal bow.
That was the easiest one, and I didn't recognize Taylor Swift. A lot of AI pop music just sounds really similar so if you've heard enough of it, it just sticks out like a sore thumb. It's deceptive if you haven't heard AI pop music before.
the lyrics were nonsensical to me, "we don't have to talk this through, you can cry the whole way too" with such an upbeat vibe doesn't make sense also "you got baggage, I got room" bruh and the random "baby" after all that just gave it away for me also, even without the lyrics, the voice in the first one was very clear and natural, while the second one had a kind of voice quality easier for AI to mimic imo aside from the lyrics I actually feel like the AI one is more musical Keep in mind I almost exclusively listen to classical, although I got 7/10 overall 😢
@@Carl-FriedrichWelker, that AI pop song was the scariest thing in the whole video! Although maybe it's not so amazing, since contemporary pop is mostly pretty lame.
@@Carl-FriedrichWelker You did find some legendary pieces/performances. It was kinda a dead giveaway because, well anyone mildly interested in classical music knows the Tchaik and the Brahms. The Mozart was a good pick to fly under the radar
Hearing those multiple violin gestures stacked sort of reminded me of in the visual world when bad AI adds extra limbs or fingers to people! I found it actually creepy.
I’m gonna be honest, I think that the selections need to be longer preferably a movement or longer to be able to tell the difference between AI and human. I feel that while an AI can mimic the sound of a human for very short intervals of music, it would have a poor grasp of structure and development compared to something composed by a human.
I think so, too. Ai can write good scenes in stories as well but as soon as ai writes a whole story where everything has to work together in order to create deeper meaning and emotion, everything falls apart.
Violin AI one: You could hear by the number of notes played together, not as broken chords. That’s technically possible only with 2 notes (on 2 strings) the most. Here you can hear sometimes 3 notes at once, sounding like more than one instrument.
I think they were all very obvious. Maybe film music & pop are a little harder, but the classical wasn't even close for me. The AI lacks coherence and structure, even any logic to the rhythm. That was the giveaway for the pop song too, even though the lyrics to both were bad.
Yes that's usually what gives away AI in written work too - lack of longer structure. Which is big in classical music. It's a bit like long chains of logical reasoning which they are also poor at (i.e. remembering). Surprised it was so obvious in these short clips actually.
Pop music by now is so standardized and all too similar one each other it practically is an algorhythm in itself. I think that's the field in which AI might eventually take over everything...
I guessed all of them correctly and honestly I think any musical aficionado easily would as well. AI not only is completely tasteless, but it also doesn't understand musical forms, pacing, rhythm, how instruments work, has no directionality whatsoever and doesn't make any bold choices, surprising harmonies or anything that breaks expectations, and it never will be able to, as its abilities are literally limited to learning from what already exists. Art will always remain an exclusively human experience
As for Beethoven, some people can't tell the difference, to me it's glaringly obvious. You just have to know the styles to hear that AI doesn't 'understand' it. The film music would be harder to tell apart as film music doesn't generally conform to a particular style as such and generally is not on the same level in terms of musical intelligence regardless of it's complexity ( I do not mean the number of notes ) as music of that composed by say the likes of Bartok etc...
@@ari4nova Of course there isn't one, I was making a reference to the title of the video. I have altered the text of my comment from 'As for Beethoven'. Of course, what I should have mentioned was classical or better yet, art music. Any AI version that I have heard makes the equivalent of an AI image in sound with the result sounding like a mismatched collection of snippets rather than a thought out planned whole.
The only one I didn’t guess right was the second film music one. But as you said, it sounded like a sample library or something, also the “real” piece was probably made on the computer and not with an orchestra or something. You could hear it was quite heavy in the production side of things. So for me it wasn’t so hard to detect the right ones, when you know where to look for clues, it’s kinda easy. The second pop tune for example had a side chain compression on the base beats, which no producer would do on a record and which is also pretty common with ai music. In the classical pieces you have to either look for background noise (like you said), and/or the quality of the sound and if both of that doesn’t work, for where the melodies are going and if you can sense a direction in the lines. This is something no ai can reproduce yet, because it cannot connect different bigger parts with each other. Also the instrumentation is a big thing. Countermelodies, that kind of stuff. All the ai pieces were kind of one block of sound.. the real pieces were much more differentiating in counterparts and instrumentation. Anyways, I’m quite stoked how far it has come with ai, but in the end nothing can reproduce a live concert with an orchestra or a band. So please go out there, support your local artists and buy their concert tickets ;)
Tried to get AI to recreate one of my symphonic pieces. It wasn't able to get close no matter what I tried. But.....I had it recreate the music of one of my client's, and it did it better than we ever did. (It had definitely trained on his music).
In most of classical music the majority of the listening experience comes from the interaction of themes or melodies, that come in parallel or one after another. So one cannot get the meaning of a short section even from a real composer.
Yay! Got 9 correct and failed the Ravel. That tonal change at the end (Am6/ A minor with added F# maybe?) was so unexpected that I thought an AI couldn't reach such coloristic skills... yet. Awesome content, keep publishing!!
Aa a pianist - it was obvious AI was trying to imitate piano playing, but if you imagine how you'd actually play one or the other it's easy to see second one was nonsense!
I missed 3 (choir, film music 2, and opera), but found the Ravel very easy. Maybe I've just heard enough Ravel that I could hear how the piece kept developing, but it seemed obvious that the A.I. had absolutely no plan. Missing the choir one angered me. The sopranos at the end of the clip took a big breath that was a bit distracting, and I just assumed the A.I. would not do that.
i think the best way to detect is through personal experience, like the orchestral ones, strings and piano were extremely obvious but the other ones weren't as easy because i just haven't played or heard enough of those
I'm a classical musician and found this pretty easy. Most of them were really obvious. I did get the three last ones wrong; film music 2 and pop (not so surprising), but also the opera fragment which is really shocking. I found the second fragment sounded like a jibberish language but still the voice sounded so human that I went with number 2. I would have thought that singing was the last thing AI would realistically imitate, but this is seriously impressive!
Very interesting test, even as a classical musician I didnt ace it... But in a few cases the difference was also in the sound quality, I think an interesting variation of this test could be to just put both pieces of music in some sort of sibelius programme or smth to only evaluate the quality of the composition without getting the hints from the texture of sound...
Few opinions 1. If one has to resort to listening for whether the voice or instrument is artificial, it's already admitting you cannot tell an AI composed music if it is performed by human live performers. 2. To differentiate an AI composed piece by today's AI standard, a short fragment is no longer enough, but there will be more signs of incoherence if one listen to the entire piece, i.e. a whole song or symphony. Although that already means that human artists can already "cheat" by using an AI piece, smoothen out the imperfections, and pass it as his own. 3. AI learns by the existing music repertoire fed to its database, e.g. with a database of one type of music, it is able to create a piece with motifs, melodies, phrases in that style, hence it is easier for AI in music where existing pieces are already similar, e.g. soothing film scores. This of course brings the question of what can be defined as original, as it can be argued it is only creating variations of original human written works. Also, current AI is probably not able to pioneer an entirely new style of music the way Beethoven broke free from the style of Mozart and Haydn.
The thing is, it's subjective. I didn't have to listen closely at all for 9 out of 10. Like, not even funny obvious. So the fact that "some people don't hear the difference" is like saying most people don't appreciate an expensive wine.
I got 10/10, One could almost always tell what was AI because it has no idea of where the music is/should be heading. It has no direction and often has weird placements of when the melody stops and continues in relation the the harmonic context. The AI sounds like someone who has no idea on how to improvise, and has been forced to play something that sounds kinda like another piece, it's most obvious when it's a solo piece. Opera one was pretty hard for me, but I was pretty sure that the pavarotti sounding one was speaking gibberish. Pop AI was straight up corporate music 😂 Also " I was expecting some jungladic turnway"??? violin had impossible string combos, piano was unrythmic and sounded like contemporary impressionist slop that I play when I'm tired of practice, and the rest were just musically very awkward and had no idea what it was doing.
Very interesting comparison. Thank you! Especially the film music (where even the original composers use computergenerated orchestras sometimes) are starting to get hard to distinguish. The tenor singing Mimi è tanto malata doesn't sound like Pavarotti to me, but the AI-version is definitely inspired by his voice. I wonder what your community (hi everyone) thinks about the implications this has for classical music. On the one hand it feels threatening that computers are getting better in imitating us musicians. On the other hand, the fact that everything we see and hear is increasingly subject to the doubt of 'is it real or AI', might also drive the audience towards the concert halls in search of the 'real' experience. It will still be some years before computers will run around on stage for four hours, singing over the orchestra on top of their lungs whilst fencing and sweating like a pig. So there might still be some hope for us poor opera singers...
Like a lot of others here, I got everything right except for the pop one. In almost every single example, the part writing from the real pieces exhibits call and response and repetition of contour, where the AI part writing just seemed to jump randomly to whatever was harmonically appropriate. Also, like you said, the quality of the sound was sometimes a complete giveaway. The piano and violin examples were unmistakable between practiced intonation/phrasing and autogenerated noise.
They already invented an application in which all the artists recorded their voice and if their voice appears in a new song they will receive a permission notice and you will have to pay the artist if you want to use their voice
The biggest give-aways for me were that the AI doesn't always seem to know where it's going with a phrase, it seems unsure what the pulse of the music should be and there are also a lot of shifts in the sound quality as if the acoustics are changing at random.
I guessed 9 right. And I did mainly listen to counterpoint, and whether the harmonic progression was going somewhere. The first film-music, and the pop-music example, and to a lesser extent the operatic aria's, I feel there is less importance given to counterpoint. In the era's where that mattered, that was a clear give away.
I also noticed with the second one (classical period), the AI one was super vague. The classical period is usually very clear, and also very metric. I couldn’t make heads or tails of the tempo in the AI one.
There was only one classical piece that I missed: the opera piece. I think the AI did an amazing job on that one. For the other ones, I was VERY confident in my guess and was correct for all of them. For the most part, it was musical structure that gave it away for me. The AI ones sounded meandering and just didn't have any sense of direction. I got the pop one right just because I've listened played around a bit with AI generators and that 2nd song was similar to some things that I've heard AI spit out before. It's impressive though.
I think it's possible for AI to eventually write really good stuff, just because it can do so many calculations fast. But it will need to grasp higher level, actually more abstract concepts and things like analogy.
@@simontist Maybe. IDK it depends upon how computing power can keep up. IDK if the people designing these AI programs really understand art. If they actually got someone who knew what they were doing and who devised a broad system for making artworks, the results would be truly terrifying.
Hey Carl, how long on average would you say it takes to be able to read a score fluently? I can read scores but it’s not at tempo and sometimes I have to stop and break down the harmony or melody to “hear” what’s happening and maybe read over certain passages a few times. Even with Beethoven sonatas, I sometimes have to read a passage twice and slow down
10/10, we aren't there yet with AI, bro! Ok, some context: I'm a professional classical musician. The opera and pop ones were really hard, though! On the opera - to artificially imitate the second piece is simpler and Puccini has solid and complex thought, that's how I guessed correctly. I don't listen to pop music but on that one I kinda cheated - the voice was really unclear on the second one and first one really reminded me how superficial and imperfect humans can be.
I'm an amateur classical musician and I also got 10/10. I had the most challenge with film music. The opera was obvious for me: no AI could ever come close to recreating Puccini's genius.
I got seven, but one I just recognized. It seems like the thing AI still lags on is hierarchical structure, repetition, alternation, and variations of a few parts. AI still meanders more than good human composers. But damn I'm impressed.
The thing it’s that ai has access to the thousands of classical piece made by masters so ai just has to mix,ai do the same thing when it Ned to create images
As an opera singer I was pretty impressed by the IA. It was imitating pavarotti's technique really well (a very poor technique, by the way, but that's another discussion). But it sounded a little bit "impersonnal" like nobody sings in such a smooth and even way. Human voice has some roughness that IA doesn't have for the moment.
You really have to know the details about every style to hear the difference between ai and human. Like the trills of the baroque style in the 2nd piece gave it away for that question.
Very very interesting. A few years ago AI was unable to do anything similar. I was able to say in all of them witch was the AI because, there is a give away: the music does not go anywhere interesting. So, in film music, that was not easy to notice also in the human example. And, like you, I also preferred the AI from the pop music. I completely agree with you: in 10 years, maybe we can marvel with the talent of AI.
I only missed the Opera comparison, and that because the tenor sounded better in the AI (though had I caught the "Mimi" in the lyrics I may have gotten it). The Taylor Swift was more of a guess, and there it came down to the lyrics sounding more authentic. For all the rest, the real compositions were more or less obvious, and a few I recognized the composer. All AI is a fraud, even when it comes close to true human musical inspiration, because while it may replicate intellingence, it will never have a heart. Liked & subscribed.
Before hearing the answers/OP guesses: 1: Baroque Unless this is a trick, the first sounds much more from the Classical Period, and the second sounds like typical Baroque counterpoint. 2: Classical: First sounds genuinely Clasical (including some audience noise), the flute solo in the second sounds too Romantic 3: Romantic: First is jumping the gun to very very late Romanticism, like Faure or Satie. I recoginize the second piece - it's genuine 4: Choir: ?? First has accidentals with emotional weight - sounds human, possibly Mendelsshon; 2nd could be an exercise in medieval chant with too much harmony ed: Brahms Requiem??? Shoulda recognized that. 5: Film music: First is more obvious, second is more subtle. For movie music, it doesn't make much difference whether it's composed by human or AI. 6: Violin: The first has more structure, with more "old violin" timbre; the second is just ugly, with extremely clean violin sound. However, the first has a few ornaments that don't sound physically possible. Still, second sounds more like AI. Ed: FOOLED. 7: Piano: A few world-class pianists can play like the first but may be physically impossible with two hands; the attacks on the second sounded more like real keys, and the key shift at the end sounded genuine. First is AI, second is human. Though I'd listen to both. FOOLED again 8:Film 2: In the first, Instruments sounded too smooth to be real; second, the entrance of the trumpets sound like real trumpets tho fakable by AI). Second is AI, but it doesn't matter much. 9: Opera: First is a cleaner tenor, what tenors would aspire to, though sounded a little distant; second had the slightest of imperfections on spanning the intervals, warmer voice. First is AI. FOOLED, but absolutely no apologies. 10: Pop: First song: "Sounds like crap. Oh wait, it sounds like Taylor Swift". Second: Sterile harmonies, generic country. Sure enough, First is a genuine Taylor Swift song. Second must be AI. Score: 7/10 Couldn't pick up on the subtleties of late Classical/Impressionist music, or Opera. Interesting that the real classical music experts below didn't pick up on Taylor Swift.
Maybe for the 2nd film music the first piece was written by AI but played by real musicians and the second piece was writted by a real person and played by a computer ?
5:49 on ai sample there's just some passages impossible on the violin, like notes that doesn't match for our finger to play and too many notes at the same time, even for a 4-note chord, but it sounded like 2 people doing that, so for solo violin it's impossible.
There are often just a few moments, that can either be subtle or bold, in piece that make them true works of genius even if the whole work is immaculately crafted. And I think the lack of those sorts of moments of inspiration in AI generated music will be the differentiator. Rationally, it be can hard to formulate an explanation why a model that has learned the patterns present in all music could not produce these moments. However, I would lean on the fact the scope for what could happen next (the next token for the model) is so vast and that even the highest reasonable temperature setting, a parameter specifying the degree to which it samples statistically less likely next tokens, are insufficient to capture what great artists really are able to do in moments of creative inspiration.
For the film music and the pop music, I had no idea which was which, though I suspect a longer clip might have helped with the film music. Most of the classical music was obvious: the AI just meandered with no really structured phrasing. The exception is the opera. I really doubt that the 'AI' clip was actually AI; it's far better than any of the other AI examples (indeed, IMO more interesting than the Puccini it's paired with).
Got them all right, but I was surprised at how close some of them were. Not too long ago it was impossible to synthesise a realistic violin sound, and that one was very nearly plausible (the sound more so than the playing). But just like AI writing, it seems AI music never really gets the phrasing right - it was usually clear that the one which didn’t really have a ‘point’ was AI.
As a musician, i have to say some of them were pretty hard to distinguish. Now let us compose Music by AI, play them with real instruments and compare them with very unknown pieces from the same Era.. then I wonder of we d still be able to distinguish. Also that „Music“ and Composing is suddenly only a mouseclick apart, makes me kinda afraid of what will become of us musicians in the future. Will we take the burden of practising all those thousands of hours or taking months or years to complete a piece, a symphony if AI might be doing it maybe even better in a matter of seconds.. Time will tell but as of know, i dont have a good feeling about how this might change us all.
I think this video proves more the solid foundations that music theory has than anything else. You can write a symphony in the classical and early romantic period without listening to it just by following the rules. AI follows those rules, but so did Mozart and Beethoven. What AI (and inexperienced composers) lack is a goal in a composition. That becomes obvious in an AI full concert… at least for now
I got 2 wrong and one where I couldn't tell the difference. The first baroque piece sounds heavily inspired by Pachelbel's canon in D, which gives it away as being fake. It also shows that AI essentially just interpolates between ideas that are already there in the dataset
I have heard the original Ysaye piece (thanks to twoset) and as a pianist myself recognized the ravel piece immediately. Upon hearing Swift’s music though, I thought that it was definitely AI, with the very cliched bass line. The only thing that would have hinted to me that it was real was the real sounding voice.
It’s not hard to tell at all. The AI phrases have zero character and say nothing to the human heart. They lack details of inventiveness and instead just imitate the overall sound they are based on, but actually sound nothing like the real thing.
Yeah, the pop one was the only one I got wrong. Maybe because in pop it's so simple minded even AI can fake it. In all the other styles it reminded me of music written by a student or someone who never did any voice- leading or counterpoint exercises- the voice-leading and harmonies and counterpoint often made no sense.
I found 5 out of 10... Specifically: 1. Baroque ❌️ 2. Classical ✅️ 3. Romantic ✅️ 4. Choir ✅️ 5. Film Music 1 ✅️ 6. Violin ✅️ 7. Piano ❌️ 8. Film Music 2 ❌️ 9. Opera ❌️ 10. Pop Music ❌️
I could guess correctly 6 out of 10. Baroque: first one the notes too equal, the composition sounded weird but that is more subtle. Classic: the rhythm of the (flute?) In yhe secon example sounded weird, this one was harder to tell apart. Romantic: the harmonic direction felt off IMHO. Choir: the text was clearer in the first example ("christe eleison" i heard). The second one I heard "Ave..." but I couldn't hear a coherent text. Film music: I failed miserably, they sounded the same to me, since the orchestra sounds somewhat minimalistic in both examples it is really hard to tell them apart. Violin: this one was really blatant to me, the first one was really chaotic, and I could not imagine what was the violín doing, the second one was much more coherent in its ideas. Piano: this was harder (and I'm a pianist myself) but the second one sounded somewhat mechanical in its touch. Film music 2: epic fail, I could not get it right. Opera: I made a mistake, I chose the second on the base I heard Pavarotti. So fail. Pop music: Sorry Ms. Swift your song sounded too generic to me, I was biased to expect songs in english to have more rhythmic complexity, so I chosed the second one as real, I Failed. In retrospective the lyrics were more coherent in the first one. Overall 6/10
It wasn’t too hard to distinguish AI from human composer. As the author said, AI don’t have direction of melody and it’s unclear what composer wanted to say. I think it would be more obvious for longer passages. However, it’s easier when it’s known that one part is composed by AI.
@@cziffrathegreat666 I mean I don't believe that's a valid reason to judge. I'd more look at the structure of the music itself. The midi-player was very clearly not the best but the AI itself was impressive
Got 9 correct, and wrong about the pop song. If every clip is 1 min long at least, the classical part will be much easier (AIs don't remember what they did during counterpoint...yet).
the violin piece i figured out becouse it sounded extremely difficult if not impossible, like played by two violins. I have composed for violin but i dont play the instrument, so If any violinist read this please let me know your impression, thanks
I just mistook the last one because it sounded a little like Miley Cyrus to me. The violin one was so damn clear for me, because the Ysaye captures you instantly into space. So I got 9/10 right. Nice video. ^^
10/10. The AI still has to be born/programmed that fools my superlative ears & neurons. On a side note, film music doesn't really count, coz most film music composer's ambition seems to be to sound like a deficient AI. Nor does pop music, coz pop = poop, as we classical music lovers know all too well. 😉
I'm sorry, but I don't agree. I don't think film music is worse than classical, and I also don't think that pop is totally bad at all. Just listen to the new Linking Park Song, not technically Pop, but amazing open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/2PnlsTsOTLE5jnBnNe2K0A?si=19e30dfa55614900
I got fooled by the AI violin one because I heard breathing, but seems AI has picked up on that :( btw in the future, I would prefer some audio cue marking when the different excerpts start/end. I like to listen to these things with my eyes closed and I actually couldn't tell that you had switched to the second excerpt in some cases

Violin: the Ysaï had mastering glitches (way over the top compression of the ambient reverb). Very easy to detect anyways.

also "you got baggage, I got room" bruh
and the random "baby" after all that just gave it away for me
also, even without the lyrics, the voice in the first one was very clear and natural, while the second one had a kind of voice quality easier for AI to mimic imo
aside from the lyrics I actually feel like the AI one is more musical
Keep in mind I almost exclusively listen to classical, although I got 7/10 overall 😢
@@Carl-FriedrichWelker, that AI pop song was the scariest thing in the whole video! Although maybe it's not so amazing, since contemporary pop is mostly pretty lame.

Yes, felt like 6 notes at a time, Vengerov's recording, for those who know, I'm not a violin expert, but I think it's legendary🙌🏻
@@Carl-FriedrichWelker You did find some legendary pieces/performances. It was kinda a dead giveaway because, well anyone mildly interested in classical music knows the Tchaik and the Brahms. The Mozart was a good pick to fly under the radar
@@Carl-FriedrichWelker ysaye actually did write 6 note chords that have to be faked/rolled. Great ear!
Hearing those multiple violin gestures stacked sort of reminded me of in the visual world when bad AI adds extra limbs or fingers to people! I found it actually creepy.
@@weldonanderson5124 It's actually very analogous. Uncan'tny Valley :)
I’m gonna be honest, I think that the selections need to be longer preferably a movement or longer to be able to tell the difference between AI and human. I feel that while an AI can mimic the sound of a human for very short intervals of music, it would have a poor grasp of structure and development compared to something composed by a human.
Most of the time yes, I heard 1-2 AI pieces, that were able to get that pretty decent🙌🏻
I agree but only for the choice of classical period
This is right for the time being, unfortunately.
I think so, too. Ai can write good scenes in stories as well but as soon as ai writes a whole story where everything has to work together in order to create deeper meaning and emotion, everything falls apart.
@@serox8887 Psst! We should be careful not to help them fix their flaws 😉
Violin AI one: You could hear by the number of notes played together, not as broken chords. That’s technically possible only with 2 notes (on 2 strings) the most. Here you can hear sometimes 3 notes at once, sounding like more than one instrument.
Bingo, some of these AI ones contained very awkward moves.
Yes, especially as a violinist, the violin AI was the easiest to detect for me.
Exactly what I was thinking, but had no clue how to describe it lol.
I think they were all very obvious. Maybe film music & pop are a little harder, but the classical wasn't even close for me. The AI lacks coherence and structure, even any logic to the rhythm. That was the giveaway for the pop song too, even though the lyrics to both were bad.
Yes that's usually what gives away AI in written work too - lack of longer structure. Which is big in classical music. It's a bit like long chains of logical reasoning which they are also poor at (i.e. remembering). Surprised it was so obvious in these short clips actually.
Bruh, frickin AI is better than Taylor Swift 💀.
Kinda true😂
Pop music by now is so standardized and all too similar one each other it practically is an algorhythm in itself. I think that's the field in which AI might eventually take over everything...
Isn´t that hard
@@timeless9517 true.
I guessed that one right because I had heard it in another video about AI! We are so fkt...
The real test would be to hear the way the music develops into a complete movement rather than a few seconds where it only has to copy the sound.
I guessed all of them correctly and honestly I think any musical aficionado easily would as well. AI not only is completely tasteless, but it also doesn't understand musical forms, pacing, rhythm, how instruments work, has no directionality whatsoever and doesn't make any bold choices, surprising harmonies or anything that breaks expectations, and it never will be able to, as its abilities are literally limited to learning from what already exists. Art will always remain an exclusively human experience
The AI never wins!
Human music by far better than AI
As for Beethoven, some people can't tell the difference, to me it's glaringly obvious. You just have to know the styles to hear that AI doesn't 'understand' it. The film music would be harder to tell apart as film music doesn't generally conform to a particular style as such and generally is not on the same level in terms of musical intelligence regardless of it's complexity ( I do not mean the number of notes ) as music of that composed by say the likes of Bartok etc...
Timestamp for Beethoven?
@@ari4nova Of course there isn't one, I was making a reference to the title of the video. I have altered the text of my comment from 'As for Beethoven'. Of course, what I should have mentioned was classical or better yet, art music. Any AI version that I have heard makes the equivalent of an AI image in sound with the result sounding like a mismatched collection of snippets rather than a thought out planned whole.
Tchaikovsky and Ravel were dead give aways... always love to hear them... but I am proud to say I preferred the AI pop to Taylor Swift.
Truer words have never been spoken, I feel the same.😂
AI sure loves cello
The only one I didn’t guess right was the second film music one. But as you said, it sounded like a sample library or something, also the “real” piece was probably made on the computer and not with an orchestra or something. You could hear it was quite heavy in the production side of things.
So for me it wasn’t so hard to detect the right ones, when you know where to look for clues, it’s kinda easy. The second pop tune for example had a side chain compression on the base beats, which no producer would do on a record and which is also pretty common with ai music. In the classical pieces you have to either look for background noise (like you said), and/or the quality of the sound and if both of that doesn’t work, for where the melodies are going and if you can sense a direction in the lines. This is something no ai can reproduce yet, because it cannot connect different bigger parts with each other.
Also the instrumentation is a big thing. Countermelodies, that kind of stuff. All the ai pieces were kind of one block of sound.. the real pieces were much more differentiating in counterparts and instrumentation.
Anyways, I’m quite stoked how far it has come with ai, but in the end nothing can reproduce a live concert with an orchestra or a band. So please go out there, support your local artists and buy their concert tickets ;)
Tried to get AI to recreate one of my symphonic pieces. It wasn't able to get close no matter what I tried. But.....I had it recreate the music of one of my client's, and it did it better than we ever did. (It had definitely trained on his music).
In most of classical music the majority of the listening experience comes from the interaction of themes or melodies, that come in parallel or one after another. So one cannot get the meaning of a short section even from a real composer.
True🙌🏻
True, but even with these short clips it’s clear that the AI doesn’t know how to structure the score, no dynamics, hollow. Emotionless.
Yay! Got 9 correct and failed the Ravel. That tonal change at the end (Am6/ A minor with added F# maybe?) was so unexpected that I thought an AI couldn't reach such coloristic skills... yet. Awesome content, keep publishing!!
Same LOL. That was insane but it must have copied that progression from somewhere
Aa a pianist - it was obvious AI was trying to imitate piano playing, but if you imagine how you'd actually play one or the other it's easy to see second one was nonsense!
I missed 3 (choir, film music 2, and opera), but found the Ravel very easy.
Maybe I've just heard enough Ravel that I could hear how the piece kept developing, but it seemed obvious that the A.I. had absolutely no plan.
Missing the choir one angered me. The sopranos at the end of the clip took a big breath that was a bit distracting, and I just assumed the A.I. would not do that.
This is actually more a test of an individual's ear and empathic sensibilities than a display of how "good" AI is at mimicking music.
i think the best way to detect is through personal experience, like the orchestral ones, strings and piano were extremely obvious but the other ones weren't as easy because i just haven't played or heard enough of those
10:52
ngl i thought that was an ad lol
You're not alone~
I'm a classical musician and found this pretty easy. Most of them were really obvious. I did get the three last ones wrong; film music 2 and pop (not so surprising), but also the opera fragment which is really shocking. I found the second fragment sounded like a jibberish language but still the voice sounded so human that I went with number 2. I would have thought that singing was the last thing AI would realistically imitate, but this is seriously impressive!
Very interesting test, even as a classical musician I didnt ace it... But in a few cases the difference was also in the sound quality, I think an interesting variation of this test could be to just put both pieces of music in some sort of sibelius programme or smth to only evaluate the quality of the composition without getting the hints from the texture of sound...
Few opinions 1. If one has to resort to listening for whether the voice or instrument is artificial, it's already admitting you cannot tell an AI composed music if it is performed by human live performers. 2. To differentiate an AI composed piece by today's AI standard, a short fragment is no longer enough, but there will be more signs of incoherence if one listen to the entire piece, i.e. a whole song or symphony. Although that already means that human artists can already "cheat" by using an AI piece, smoothen out the imperfections, and pass it as his own. 3. AI learns by the existing music repertoire fed to its database, e.g. with a database of one type of music, it is able to create a piece with motifs, melodies, phrases in that style, hence it is easier for AI in music where existing pieces are already similar, e.g. soothing film scores. This of course brings the question of what can be defined as original, as it can be argued it is only creating variations of original human written works. Also, current AI is probably not able to pioneer an entirely new style of music the way Beethoven broke free from the style of Mozart and Haydn.
The thing is, it's subjective. I didn't have to listen closely at all for 9 out of 10. Like, not even funny obvious. So the fact that "some people don't hear the difference" is like saying most people don't appreciate an expensive wine.
One way to tell is if the musical ideas are interesting and alluring. If they aren't, then they would've already been thrown in the trash.
I got 10/10, One could almost always tell what was AI because it has no idea of where the music is/should be heading. It has no direction and often has weird placements of when the melody stops and continues in relation the the harmonic context. The AI sounds like someone who has no idea on how to improvise, and has been forced to play something that sounds kinda like another piece, it's most obvious when it's a solo piece. Opera one was pretty hard for me, but I was pretty sure that the pavarotti sounding one was speaking gibberish. Pop AI was straight up corporate music 😂 Also " I was expecting some jungladic turnway"??? violin had impossible string combos, piano was unrythmic and sounded like contemporary impressionist slop that I play when I'm tired of practice, and the rest were just musically very awkward and had no idea what it was doing.
Very interesting comparison. Thank you! Especially the film music (where even the original composers use computergenerated orchestras sometimes) are starting to get hard to distinguish. The tenor singing Mimi è tanto malata doesn't sound like Pavarotti to me, but the AI-version is definitely inspired by his voice.
I wonder what your community (hi everyone) thinks about the implications this has for classical music. On the one hand it feels threatening that computers are getting better in imitating us musicians. On the other hand, the fact that everything we see and hear is increasingly subject to the doubt of 'is it real or AI', might also drive the audience towards the concert halls in search of the 'real' experience. It will still be some years before computers will run around on stage for four hours, singing over the orchestra on top of their lungs whilst fencing and sweating like a pig. So there might still be some hope for us poor opera singers...
These are so eerie!
Nice content, just wanna ask which ai generator website did you use?
Choosing such iconic pieces for the orchestra AI sadly spoiled it for me. Had known them before.
I missed one - the opera clip. However, that was not Pavarotti. Sounded like Jussi Bjorling.
The easy one is the Pop. There is a lot of sidechain compresion in the voice with the kick.
Like a lot of others here, I got everything right except for the pop one. In almost every single example, the part writing from the real pieces exhibits call and response and repetition of contour, where the AI part writing just seemed to jump randomly to whatever was harmonically appropriate. Also, like you said, the quality of the sound was sometimes a complete giveaway. The piano and violin examples were unmistakable between practiced intonation/phrasing and autogenerated noise.
They already invented an application in which all the artists recorded their voice and if their voice appears in a new song they will receive a permission notice and you will have to pay the artist if you want to use their voice
The biggest give-aways for me were that the AI doesn't always seem to know where it's going with a phrase, it seems unsure what the pulse of the music should be and there are also a lot of shifts in the sound quality as if the acoustics are changing at random.
I guessed 9 right. And I did mainly listen to counterpoint, and whether the harmonic progression was going somewhere. The first film-music, and the pop-music example, and to a lesser extent the operatic aria's, I feel there is less importance given to counterpoint. In the era's where that mattered, that was a clear give away.
The first violin piece sounded like parts of it had a whole quartet in the back. It was clearly fake
The only type where I couldn’t differentiate was the pop music. RIP Taylor
I only got the opera one wrong. It's very, very difficult to tell though. Especially the film music. One has to listen and assess very carefully.
It's quite understandable, the (real?) voice of Pavarotti in the latter made it a tough one.
I also noticed with the second one (classical period), the AI one was super vague. The classical period is usually very clear, and also very metric. I couldn’t make heads or tails of the tempo in the AI one.
There was only one classical piece that I missed: the opera piece. I think the AI did an amazing job on that one. For the other ones, I was VERY confident in my guess and was correct for all of them. For the most part, it was musical structure that gave it away for me. The AI ones sounded meandering and just didn't have any sense of direction. I got the pop one right just because I've listened played around a bit with AI generators and that 2nd song was similar to some things that I've heard AI spit out before. It's impressive though.
Agreed, structure is the one thing that is still missing🙌🏻
Both the piano pieces sounded like AI to me.
Romantic AI was amazing
I think it's possible for AI to eventually write really good stuff, just because it can do so many calculations fast. But it will need to grasp higher level, actually more abstract concepts and things like analogy.
To be fair it's probably just a matter of using a bigger computer.
@@simontist Maybe. IDK it depends upon how computing power can keep up.
IDK if the people designing these AI programs really understand art. If they actually got someone who knew what they were doing and who devised a broad system for making artworks, the results would be truly terrifying.
Why did the *AI* Taylor Swift feel more soothing and passionate than the real one 💀
Hey Carl, how long on average would you say it takes to be able to read a score fluently? I can read scores but it’s not at tempo and sometimes I have to stop and break down the harmony or melody to “hear” what’s happening and maybe read over certain passages a few times. Even with Beethoven sonatas, I sometimes have to read a passage twice and slow down
10/10, we aren't there yet with AI, bro!
Ok, some context:
I'm a professional classical musician. The opera and pop ones were really hard, though! On the opera - to artificially imitate the second piece is simpler and Puccini has solid and complex thought, that's how I guessed correctly. I don't listen to pop music but on that one I kinda cheated - the voice was really unclear on the second one and first one really reminded me how superficial and imperfect humans can be.
10/10 here too. Like you when I was unsure I focused in on the sound itself rather than the composition.
I'm an amateur classical musician and I also got 10/10. I had the most challenge with film music. The opera was obvious for me: no AI could ever come close to recreating Puccini's genius.
Which AI program did you use here?
The Violin one is easy. This AI didn't know which strings can be played together. It used impossible intervals.
Pop music is so hard because it is already very refined.
I got seven, but one I just recognized. It seems like the thing AI still lags on is hierarchical structure, repetition, alternation, and variations of a few parts. AI still meanders more than good human composers. But damn I'm impressed.
The thing it’s that ai has access to the thousands of classical piece made by masters so ai just has to mix,ai do the same thing when it Ned to create images
I’m Italian and the AI opera was literally just random gibberish
That’s funny
As an opera singer I was pretty impressed by the IA. It was imitating pavarotti's technique really well (a very poor technique, by the way, but that's another discussion). But it sounded a little bit "impersonnal" like nobody sings in such a smooth and even way. Human voice has some roughness that IA doesn't have for the moment.
You really have to know the details about every style to hear the difference between ai and human. Like the trills of the baroque style in the 2nd piece gave it away for that question.
That's true🙌🏻
The interesting thing is that I could feel the emotion in human written pieces. a.i. still has to improve a lot more.
I think most people here were the same as me, all correct except pop… it speaks for itself really.
Love how piano AI doesn't have the guts to just let us enjoy for a second but keeps spamming away.
Very very interesting. A few years ago AI was unable to do anything similar.
I was able to say in all of them witch was the AI because, there is a give away: the music does not go anywhere interesting. So, in film music, that was not easy to notice also in the human example. And, like you, I also preferred the AI from the pop music.
I completely agree with you: in 10 years, maybe we can marvel with the talent of AI.
I only missed the Opera comparison, and that because the tenor sounded better in the AI (though had I caught the "Mimi" in the lyrics I may have gotten it). The Taylor Swift was more of a guess, and there it came down to the lyrics sounding more authentic. For all the rest, the real compositions were more or less obvious, and a few I recognized the composer. All AI is a fraud, even when it comes close to true human musical inspiration, because while it may replicate intellingence, it will never have a heart. Liked & subscribed.
The third quiz is like an absolute win for me.
What do you mean, it was too easy, or difficult?😂
@@Carl-FriedrichWelker Because I realize it is from Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony immediately, so I am not hesitant to choose it as a composer work.
Right, mixed that up with something else haha😂
If I was AI and needed a sacred text it would probably be Ave Maria. The only one I know lol
What AI is this?
Before hearing the answers/OP guesses:
1: Baroque Unless this is a trick, the first sounds much more from the Classical Period, and the second sounds like typical Baroque counterpoint.
2: Classical: First sounds genuinely Clasical (including some audience noise), the flute solo in the second sounds too Romantic
3: Romantic: First is jumping the gun to very very late Romanticism, like Faure or Satie. I recoginize the second piece - it's genuine
4: Choir: ?? First has accidentals with emotional weight - sounds human, possibly Mendelsshon; 2nd could be an exercise in medieval chant with too much harmony ed: Brahms Requiem??? Shoulda recognized that.
5: Film music: First is more obvious, second is more subtle. For movie music, it doesn't make much difference whether it's composed by human or AI.
6: Violin: The first has more structure, with more "old violin" timbre; the second is just ugly, with extremely clean violin sound. However, the first has a few ornaments that don't sound physically possible. Still, second sounds more like AI. Ed: FOOLED.
7: Piano: A few world-class pianists can play like the first but may be physically impossible with two hands; the attacks on the second sounded more like real keys, and the key shift at the end sounded genuine. First is AI, second is human. Though I'd listen to both. FOOLED again
8:Film 2: In the first, Instruments sounded too smooth to be real; second, the entrance of the trumpets sound like real trumpets tho fakable by AI). Second is AI, but it doesn't matter much.
9: Opera: First is a cleaner tenor, what tenors would aspire to, though sounded a little distant; second had the slightest of imperfections on spanning the intervals, warmer voice. First is AI. FOOLED, but absolutely no apologies.
10: Pop: First song: "Sounds like crap. Oh wait, it sounds like Taylor Swift". Second: Sterile harmonies, generic country. Sure enough, First is a genuine Taylor Swift song. Second must be AI.
Score: 7/10 Couldn't pick up on the subtleties of late Classical/Impressionist music, or Opera.
Interesting that the real classical music experts below didn't pick up on Taylor Swift.
Maybe for the 2nd film music the first piece was written by AI but played by real musicians and the second piece was writted by a real person and played by a computer ?
5:49 on ai sample there's just some passages impossible on the violin, like notes that doesn't match for our finger to play and too many notes at the same time, even for a 4-note chord, but it sounded like 2 people doing that, so for solo violin it's impossible.
Me at the opera: ah pavarotti it's real
2.52 Luckily I knew that was Tchaikovsky
AI can compete in Film Music today.
There are often just a few moments, that can either be subtle or bold, in piece that make them true works of genius even if the whole work is immaculately crafted. And I think the lack of those sorts of moments of inspiration in AI generated music will be the differentiator. Rationally, it be can hard to formulate an explanation why a model that has learned the patterns present in all music could not produce these moments. However, I would lean on the fact the scope for what could happen next (the next token for the model) is so vast and that even the highest reasonable temperature setting, a parameter specifying the degree to which it samples statistically less likely next tokens, are insufficient to capture what great artists really are able to do in moments of creative inspiration.
8/10 is pretty solid
Pop is already basically AI. It's a formula of computerized algorithms and whatever plugin is trendy this week.
For the film music and the pop music, I had no idea which was which, though I suspect a longer clip might have helped with the film music. Most of the classical music was obvious: the AI just meandered with no really structured phrasing. The exception is the opera. I really doubt that the 'AI' clip was actually AI; it's far better than any of the other AI examples (indeed, IMO more interesting than the Puccini it's paired with).
Got them all right, but I was surprised at how close some of them were. Not too long ago it was impossible to synthesise a realistic violin sound, and that one was very nearly plausible (the sound more so than the playing).
But just like AI writing, it seems AI music never really gets the phrasing right - it was usually clear that the one which didn’t really have a ‘point’ was AI.
As a musician, i have to say some of them were pretty hard to distinguish.
Now let us compose Music by AI, play them with real instruments and compare them with very unknown pieces from the same Era..
then I wonder of we d still be able to distinguish.
Also that „Music“ and Composing is suddenly only a mouseclick apart, makes me kinda afraid of what will become of us musicians in the future. Will we take the burden of practising all those thousands of hours or taking months or years to complete a piece, a symphony if AI might be doing it maybe even better in a matter of seconds..
Time will tell but as of know, i dont have a good feeling about how this might change us all.
Guessed every single one immediately. But I recognized most of the real examples.
The AI always would strike me immediately as being “boring”. Sorry, no cookie, AI
Same here. The one extremely noticable quality of the AI to me was its sheer soullessness...
I think this video proves more the solid foundations that music theory has than anything else. You can write a symphony in the classical and early romantic period without listening to it just by following the rules. AI follows those rules, but so did Mozart and Beethoven. What AI (and inexperienced composers) lack is a goal in a composition. That becomes obvious in an AI full concert… at least for now
I wonder if better prompting could have given it more "purpose"... Or what sorts of input it can take.
I got 2 wrong and one where I couldn't tell the difference.
The first baroque piece sounds heavily inspired by Pachelbel's canon in D, which gives it away as being fake. It also shows that AI essentially just interpolates between ideas that are already there in the dataset
I have heard the original Ysaye piece (thanks to twoset) and as a pianist myself recognized the ravel piece immediately. Upon hearing Swift’s music though, I thought that it was definitely AI, with the very cliched bass line. The only thing that would have hinted to me that it was real was the real sounding voice.
It’s not hard to tell at all. The AI phrases have zero character and say nothing to the human heart. They lack details of inventiveness and instead just imitate the overall sound they are based on, but actually sound nothing like the real thing.
I got all exept one. But to be honest, i had to guess a lot of the times. Music ai sure has improved a lot in the last few years. Great video!
Thank you🙌🏻
If it's truly AI, it's scary good.
Yeah, the pop one was the only one I got wrong. Maybe because in pop it's so simple minded even AI can fake it. In all the other styles it reminded me of music written by a student or someone who never did any voice- leading or counterpoint exercises- the voice-leading and harmonies and counterpoint often made no sense.
Got 9/10 but missed the opera one... The AI voice was shockingly good!
I found 5 out of 10...
Specifically:
1. Baroque ❌️
2. Classical ✅️
3. Romantic ✅️
4. Choir ✅️
5. Film Music 1 ✅️
6. Violin ✅️
7. Piano ❌️
8. Film Music 2 ❌️
9. Opera ❌️
10. Pop Music ❌️
I could guess correctly 6 out of 10.
Baroque: first one the notes too equal, the composition sounded weird but that is more subtle.
Classic: the rhythm of the (flute?) In yhe secon example sounded weird, this one was harder to tell apart.
Romantic: the harmonic direction felt off IMHO.
Choir: the text was clearer in the first example ("christe eleison" i heard). The second one I heard "Ave..." but I couldn't hear a coherent text.
Film music: I failed miserably, they sounded the same to me, since the orchestra sounds somewhat minimalistic in both examples it is really hard to tell them apart.
Violin: this one was really blatant to me, the first one was really chaotic, and I could not imagine what was the violín doing, the second one was much more coherent in its ideas.
Piano: this was harder (and I'm a pianist myself) but the second one sounded somewhat mechanical in its touch.
Film music 2: epic fail, I could not get it right.
Opera: I made a mistake, I chose the second on the base I heard Pavarotti. So fail.
Pop music: Sorry Ms. Swift your song sounded too generic to me, I was biased to expect songs in english to have more rhythmic complexity, so I chosed the second one as real, I Failed. In retrospective the lyrics were more coherent in the first one.
Overall 6/10
The AI have some problems on mixing and overdub some lines over the top. Also the reverb.
It wasn’t too hard to distinguish AI from human composer. As the author said, AI don’t have direction of melody and it’s unclear what composer wanted to say. I think it would be more obvious for longer passages. However, it’s easier when it’s known that one part is composed by AI.
10/10, piano would've been tough if I wasn't a diehard ravel fan
The second piece actually sounded like Philip Glass in a rare moment of inspiration...
no... the AI piano had very uneven notes, more like piano notes flowing like a violin, lacking clarity and structure
@@cziffrathegreat666 I mean I don't believe that's a valid reason to judge. I'd more look at the structure of the music itself. The midi-player was very clearly not the best but the AI itself was impressive
@@actualman908 it is quite a valid reason... we're comparing AI, getting notes uneven is pretty much a failure of a 'perfect' machine
@@cziffrathegreat666 That's not the point of the video. Need I say more?
Got 9 correct, and wrong about the pop song. If every clip is 1 min long at least, the classical part will be much easier (AIs don't remember what they did during counterpoint...yet).
How were the AI clips generated?
At least one was Udio from what he mentioned in the second half
the violin piece i figured out becouse it sounded extremely difficult if not impossible, like played by two violins. I have composed for violin but i dont play the instrument, so If any violinist read this please let me know your impression, thanks
I just mistook the last one because it sounded a little like Miley Cyrus to me. The violin one was so damn clear for me, because the Ysaye captures you instantly into space. So I got 9/10 right. Nice video. ^^
I got 10/10, really confused on the baroque one. But the AI music is lively and fun with interesting rhythm.
10/10. The AI still has to be born/programmed that fools my superlative ears & neurons.
On a side note, film music doesn't really count, coz most film music composer's ambition seems to be to sound like a deficient AI.
Nor does pop music, coz pop = poop, as we classical music lovers know all too well. 😉
I'm sorry, but I don't agree. I don't think film music is worse than classical, and I also don't think that pop is totally bad at all. Just listen to the new Linking Park Song, not technically Pop, but amazing open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/2PnlsTsOTLE5jnBnNe2K0A?si=19e30dfa55614900
I got fooled by the AI violin one because I heard breathing, but seems AI has picked up on that :(
btw in the future, I would prefer some audio cue marking when the different excerpts start/end. I like to listen to these things with my eyes closed and I actually couldn't tell that you had switched to the second excerpt in some cases
Haha, thanks for the information, I will do that next time, at least I know now, that I can do good transitions in video editing haha🙌🏻
