Data harvesting is definitely part of it.

Elon, go crawl into a hole and stay there for the rest of your life. Ok?

Replacing amazing creative humans with bland AI generated content is not a good use of AI.

That would be really great

Babelfish? Awesome. Will it understand 42 languages?

Now they have to offer a similar service. No pressure then 😊

They have a moat/stickiness because of their immense user count. It’s unfortunately ubiquitous in too many lives.

The AI version of mad cow disease.

It’s easy to support when Elon is the recipient, but is this a good precedent to set?

TMDB (https://www.themoviedb.org/) maybe? Don’t think it has an app though.

I agree. It would set a terrible precedent, even if it’s terribly tempting. I’d say it’s better to ask people to leave instead.

At least their crawlers should be nationalised/coop/something.

Feel free :) (I’m not the origin BTW)

Stanky Phony Stark?

Yep, looks like Phony Stark is at it again.

Those vocals are pretty good for being computer generated. It’s no replacement for greats like Bowie, Simone, Jagger, Winehouse, Yorke, etc, etc, but it’s not supposed to be. Sometimes it’ll do the trick, sometimes it’ll be a necessity, it’ll work for some backing vocals, demos, sketches, songwriting experimentation, guide vocals, and so on. I hope we’ll see awesome AI tools being used to make awesome music.

I definitely have that fear myself, but I hope human resilience hangs in there. Besides, I don’t think I’d care if the masses listen to bland shit by 17 songwriters or bland shit by AI ;)

There has been synths that has been used to trigger vocal samples, among other things, for like 40(?) years, and this almost sounds like an evolution to that?

There are a lot of technological innovations in music (vax roll recording, tape recording, DAW recording, tube amps, transistor amps, amp modellers, Mellotron, analog synths, modular synths, digital synths, soft-synths, etc, etc, etc), and I think there’s surely more to come, and awesome new music to be made possible from the technological advantages.

I agree that the technology is not the problem, but how it’s used. If, let’s say, giant corporations feed all of human art into their closed, proprietary models only to churn out endless amounts of disposable entertainment, it would be detrimental to the creation of original art and I’d look upon that as a bad thing. But I guess we as a society has decided that we want to empower our corporate overlords at the expense of ourselves, to go far off topic of the original thread :/

Thank you so kindly :) It’s not a saying, as far as I know.

I believe that it’s not for nothing that simplicity is considered more sophisticated. Many, many cycles of refinement.

I worked in a post office once. I once had a customer demand some package delivery option, if I remember correctly. He was adamant that it was “only a few lines of code”, that I was difficult for not obliging, and that anyone in the postal service should make code changes like that on the whims of customers. It felt like I could have more luck explaining “wallpaper” to the currents in the ocean…
