I don't think AI Music is music at all.

Learn more about why I have this luddite take, and why what I consider a Musical Turing Test is nowhere close to being passed with genAI in my latest video, out on Nebula and YouTube.

Been thinking about this for a few months. There's a stark contrast

Does anyone know if there is any way to turn off AI or AI-related content on Spotify? I can’t listen to my discover weekly anymore because the amount of music it shows me with AI vocals drives me up the wall.

The people at the levers of power in entertainment have spent decades filling up their blimps. They’ve pumped too much air into their own ship and are now hurtling too quickly into space, to their doom, certain to suffocate in the vacuum of the very outer space they’ve created.

This interview with Daniel Ek suggests Spotify may be, for now, allowing AI music from models trained on musicians’ work without permission. (This would explain why it’s showing up there.)

Spotify should change this policy. AI music competes with the music it’s trained on.…

sounds like my time to shine

The future of AI, and the future of the commercial viability of human creativity, comes down to a simple question: is it OK to use someone else’s work, without their permission, to train an AI?

All the arguments about how actually enforcing laws will stifle innovation or set us behind some technological curve or whatever are just a smoke-screen for the clear truth: they think rules shouldn't apply to them because they want more profit. It's not complicated.

At this point, it feels almost like a race to see which of the many many possible problems is going to either sink or revolutionize GAI. Here's noyb's contribution: OpenAI's incorrect outputs violate the GDPR right of correction.

“AI” will not replace you. A person making half what you do with no benefits whose job is the same as yours was but now includes babysitting “AI” will.

If I had to, I don't think I could do it again tbh. So many micro bits of luck, knowing someone etc. Would be impossible to replicate. Would urge people to go into trades no joke

radio is such an undefeated medium for stuff like this

Spotify is actively recommending AI music made by AI models that may be trained on copyrighted music without permission. 240k monthly listeners for this ‘artist’. Half a million streams of the top track.

This eats into the royalty pool available to human musicians.

Generative…

Recreated this audio attenuation from the latest Zelda talk. It simulates air absorption by adding exponential decay on top of distance inverse square law. Have fun.

Ultimately, denialism in Syria, Ukraine and Gaza all the look the same to me, and if they don't to you then you need to check your biases and priorities.
