Ghost Posted January 2 Posted January 2 i'm genuinely impressed. There's a little Beach Boys demo that had been floating around for years in several bootlegs, until it got officially released on a Brian Wilson/Beach Boys copyright time extension compilation called The Big Beat 1963. It's called Thank Him and, to my ears, it's haunting. This is the original one: Then, there's a guy who is making this non-profit AI songs from that kind of demos and songs, trying to recreate what it could have been if recorded in studio. Here's the result: The AI just grabbed Surfer Girl's drum track, because fits in tempo and feeling, but the rest is just impressive. Quote
Ghost Posted January 2 Author Posted January 2 And here's more. After releasing his first solo record in 1977, Pacific Ocean Blue, Dennis Wilson (Beach Boys' drummer) was working in what was going to be his next record, Bamboo. Unfortunately, Dennis died before being able to finish it. Well, there's a song called Holy Man which remained as an instrumental track for years, until the deluxe re-release of Pacific Ocean Bule/Bamboo was delivered few years ago. In thar release, Taylor Hawkins did the vocals for that song, and it ended being amazing. Well... this same guy who is creating this AI songs, did a full Beach Boys version of Holy Man and it is astounding. Holy Man original instrumental track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPyk0AyFors Taylor Hawkins vocals' version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caANUcreOgo The AI full Beach Boys version: https://youtu.be/5jnPAXYUQnM?si=4zWuHz17fZZ8iBBo Quote

Dans Cliff...loading Posted January 2 Posted January 2 I hate that anyone is okay with it. I'm only okay with AI for automated tedious shit, if that. We already have enough speed to do anything with computers...humanity is fuckkked 4 Quote
Ghent Posted January 2 Posted January 2 The Coca-Cola AI holidays commercial this year triggered me. It was mediocre as fuck. Also sick of googling shit just to read AI results that are inaccurate Push me much further and I'm gonna go analog and make it my personality 3 1 1 Quote

I get big tech companies and such are going to be obsessed with it. But like AI is littered on everything now, "oo get your AI version of this thing" like no? Google, maps, any art thing. I have to do marketing stuff often, and it's on every. single. thing. Web creation, module creation, emails now. Shit sucks. It's so uninspiring. 4 Quote

Students using AI for everything and now professors using AI to grade. Bad Another pet peeve lately is my Facebook is just littered with AI photos with thousands of likes and comments where people have no idea what they're looking at isn't even real Needs regulated immediately. First big technological advancement that hasn't excited me at all really. It's annoying and insulting. 6 Quote

Yeah and honestly, this is the first time I'm really proud of the fact I grew up near 'the sticks'. Because if this is honestly what society is going to be like (fake AI pictures/movies and such?) I'm going to start living off the grid as much as possible. I could just give a fuck, computers/smart phones are plenty of enough technology, I like that they keep getting better, but AI just feels 'cheap' in so many ways 2 Quote

It's a push from Big Tech and big business that no one asked for. It makes THEIR lives easier (and cheaper), not necessarily ours. 1 Quote

First big technological advancement that hasn't excited me at all really. It's annoying and insulting. It infuriates me how much my work place are pushing / celebrating AI for staff. They keep pushing training in wank AI to “assist” in things like lesson planning. Like wtf? If I wanted to plan incredibly shite lessons sure, people going all in on it are effectively saying they’re shit at their job and want a computer to make them obsolete. All the AI tools and training they’ve forced on us as part of professional development is irritating and doesn’t improve on anything, it wastes more time than it saves. Not to mention, as someone who teaches a lot of graphic design, the amount Adobe are frothing at the gash for AI is disgusting. They have jammed so much shitty AI tooling into their software instead of improving general functionality like the updates used to be for. Nah fam, I don’t need a “Generative Vector” to automate me an overly detailed yet still nonsensically shit image of a rocket to save myself the bother of… designing it myself? Why do I need AI to generate colour palettes?! its exhausting everywhere I look, and in music it just breaks my heart. Music is expression. Its not this. 5 Quote
thongrider Posted January 3 Posted January 3 One day we can get ai do to all the boring shit like art and creative outlets, so we can spend our time being productive. 3 Quote
Ghost Posted January 3 Author Posted January 3 Hold your horses, people. 😅 I didn't say this is ok to me. I didn't gave my opinion about the fact itself, in fact. But I'll tell you what: I'm not convinced at all about IA. The way it can handle this shit is scary to me. Maybe I explained myself wrong. I find this songs amazing as long as I'm impressed with what this technology can do, but yeah, it's also scary. To me this two examples are fantastic as long as they sound like more than a 90% like the original band. But as long as it's not real, it's weird. I agree with you. It was just an example. There are horrendous songs out there, and then there is some interesting shit going on. But that's it. Of course, I'd preffer real people and real music behind it. And thet's an interesting debate because, how much real is a studio recording nowadays in some environments? How real is the edition process in studio to make it all sound perfect? How real is for some band to not be able to replicate their recordings on stage? 2 1 Quote
Elisa Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I’m glad I still haven’t encountered AI music because I listen to real artists, but I always hear that now Spotify is full of fake AI shit. 1 Quote
JarJarBlinks Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Silicon Valley: “we’ll create this AI so you’ll never have to work again and focus on things you really care about like art and music!” Also Silicon Valley: “we’ll create AI so artists and musicians will never be needed again, rendering your creative outlet useless!” 3 Quote
Dans Cliff...loading Posted January 3 Posted January 3 The thing is, the brain and human emotion is what gets people enamored by art right? Not just the look and sound of it all? That’s why we like blink, we like them personally and their ‘struggle’ or relatable humor, etc. we like certain movies because the human experience. AI can’t replace that and dudes are weird that get excited about AI movies or pics. It kind of just hit me they’ve been planning this AI takeover for a while. Aggressive data mining and what not. All to feed robots and such to make them better to imitate humans. This post alone an AI could learn “need to make a more human relatable story” idk, it’s all creepy 2 Quote

Every single piece of AI created imagery including the Coca-Cola ad comes from these companies like Midjourney “scraping” already existing data from every corner of the internet. any piece of AI generated slop is 0% original. It is all stolen from an actual human and then smashed together. 2 Quote
JarJarBlinks Posted January 3 Posted January 3 @Kay I don’t know if you can kick Adobe to the curb regarding your job, but I know ProCreate has taken a pretty big stance against AI which I think is great. 1 1 Quote
thongrider Posted January 3 Posted January 3 I think there are good people on both sides. Arguments at least. I think if used right it can give a voice to the voiceless. If someone is mute or is otherwise incapable of playing a musical instrument and also without a band, but writing songs, I guess AI could be a good tool. Quote

That person isn’t “writing” anything. you give a prompt and push a button. 1 Quote
