Reddit sucks

  • I guess you didn’t read the whole comment. It’s okay. It’s long.

  • The biggest tell is the exact 2:00 length haha.

    Music production hat makes you equally resistant to AI usage. With my music production hat on it’s equally difficult to listen to. Super compressed. That noise is ridiculous. The song itself pretty basic. BUT it’s not bad. I’ve heard human make stuff that sounds wayyyyy worse. Obviously it’s stealing from a lot to create something halfway decent. It’s only gonna keep sounding better (think autotune vs melodyne) and/or our ears are going to adjust to this quality of music. As I’m sure you know, music is heavily compressed/limited and way louder than generations past. And loooootts of overproduced artists in the radio. Part of me feels the same way. I’ll never like AI generated music. Then another part of me say, what if it sounds good? Why not? I still listen to MJ sometimes and he diddled kids.

  • Yeah that’s why I specified “in an ethical way”. So if gen AI tools paid royalties to artists you’d be cool with it?

  • I get it. AI music bad, but let’s step away from the black and white thinking for a second, take off our Lemmy hats and think about a more nuanced approach.

    Where do we draw the line with sampling? Where do we draw the line with borrowing from other people’s music? There is no legal protection of chord progressions. Artists are sampling whole songs, they’re sampling musical phrases, melodies and patterns, even recordings of individual notes of instruments.

    We don’t know to what extent AI was leveraged to generate the music and lyrics of this song (maybe they wrote lyrics and fed it to a text to speech model, maybe they fed it specific audio to be used), but what we do know is that millions of artists everywhere borrow from and even directly use creative content from other artists.

    Obviously, most Gen AI is trained on stolen content, but I’m offering the opportunity to see the potential of AI and music done in an (currently imaginary) ethical way.

    Again, where do we draw the line at sampling in music?

  • Do you feel that use of generative AI and LLMs is ever justifiable? If so, when and where? If not, why not?

    Jump

  • For sure. You could absolutely create and train a model ethically. It wouldn’t be nearly as useful in many aspects, but it would be gen AI. From an environmental perspective, I guess you could ask yourself the same thing of CPU intensive gaming. People play games for hours using up similar, often more, electricity as a small locally run LLM.

  • Trump Slams Iran’s Human Rights Record in Shot at Critics of the War: ‘They Throw Gays Off Buildings’

    Jump

  • I think the sad part is that if we went back and forth sharing each country’s atrocities, we probably would finish equally depressed. There’s no winner in that argument.

  • Trump Slams Iran’s Human Rights Record in Shot at Critics of the War: ‘They Throw Gays Off Buildings’

    Jump

  • It’s an interesting situation though. One human rights abuser accusing another of abusing human rights. Are they wrong? Not really, but it’s definitely unsavory.

  • Do you think there should be an actual seahorse emoji?

  • Iran tells world to get ready for oil at $200 a barrel as it fires on commercial ships

    Jump

  • Why not just go atom bomb and do $500?

    EDIT: I’m saying atom bomb as a metaphor for raising prices

  • If you're wondering just how cooked the US is, Trump just endorsed Jake Paul, an influencer boxer known for rigging fights, for political office.
