I will never connect money with art because it isn’t a job or at least it isn’t something that one should expect to live from

I mean honestly if you became a professional writer you did really dumb move and everyone was saying it all the time since 50 years or maybe earlier than never become a writer. The writers themselves told it over and over and over.

As for stealing, it steals style of someone yes and produces something out of it I guess. It’s a big waste of time and resources.

If you compare Ghibli memes and real art behind them you can tell that the memes are some utter garbage in comparison that probably author doesn’t feel threatened at all lol. There’s simply no comparison other than some pixels look similar I guess

chords you mentioned aren’t all the same. They might be the same notes, but they’re all played differently, with more or less expression, with varying tempos, etc

They are quantised 90% of the time to be exactly the same and the tempo is set for each popular genre since long time

That’s why I am glad AI music is a thing because it will literally destroy mainstream, it’s gonna be epic, while doing nothing to the underground.

LLMs are perfect tool of weeding out the laziest money grabs and making only the original visionaries thrive. It’s something we all wanted when we were these insufferable edgy kids hating on popular things

All true but sometimes you don’t need to dig deeper. You just need some easy entertainment tailored to your whims

That’s what majority listens to and it’s nothing wrong. I just marvel at how easy it became to produce this popular slop we all enjoy sometimes or often or every time

I don’t really believe in moral virtue signalling and it being some kind of theft. Shitty artist won’t survive true but I am glad it will weed out the slop artists and increase quality of truly ambitious and original human made music and artwork too.

These furry porn ‚artists’ protesting give me a break lmao. Go to an art gallery

And I am currently also learning art in all its forms (currently painting) because I know that LLMs cannot ever make a good art. Who cares if it cannibalizes shitty pretenders

But then I also believe almost every other high fantasy book other than Tolkien was slop which doesn’t mean it’s wrong to read it, it’s perfectly cool but its just fast food you read till you sleep and it’s hard to justify buying a collectors edition of anything else or study single universe and language and everything that comes with it for years. Honestly it’s pretty annoying that nothing else is quite worth putting on the shelf as a rare $$$ illustrated edition from the fantasy genre.

I guess sci fi is the opposite of it but the leather bound sci fi books just don’t ring the same.

My point is that you can easily replace most modern epic fantasy authors with LLM and you couldn’t tell the difference. That says a lot about the quality and condition of this genre all based on a single book that towers over them so high

I agree to some extent but as I said it’s enough to beat repetitive slop on radio and sometimes that’s enough effort to find a song. Sometimes you don’t have time to deep dive into extended discovery hunt for fresh ideas

Fresh ideas that you like aren’t that easy thing to come by to be honest.

A lot of times we want to hear more of the same and that’s where AI and radio slop have a niche. Bit of how brains work, we like the same music really. It’s not like that with paintings or any other art

Honestly it’s surprising no one saw it coming considering how much repetition is at the core of music making and how digital DAWs and quantisation was already for a long time majority of music, at least the radio one ( I try to never quantise my drums and melodies)

Thing is, usually I am looking for a song about a concrete topic with a precise mood, energy, style and synths used. I would do it myself but it would be without vocals.

What I can do is to generate vocals and then download them while building the song around it using the sketch of the generated melody or arrangement if I like the generated outline

That is simpler than digging through thousands of songs to find one that will stick with me for a week or two which has been a whole days job in the past or a random chance

It’s a bit stupid but songs turn out to be basically math + poetry. Math can be perfected to resonate, poetry ai is reasonable enough I guess though you can feed it your own lyrics. The singer skill is basically same as the slop on the radio if not better

Radio slop is not a high bar to jump maybe but it’s just notch above and customised to your current brainwaves so to say

Are you stalking me weirdo?

Besides of course I only share my genuine beliefs on the internet. They are always at least 70% true.

Why would I make something up? Not worth the effort. Unless you are some kind of pathetic karma farmer from AiTa or rElATIoNshIPs aDviCe. I would genuinely kill myself out of embarrassment if I was.

Do you even realize how far you have fallen if you farm some internet points and debate politics in the chambers of frikin Reddit?

Well then have some modicum of self control and respect and do not fall straight into their stuff.

Besides, it’s not even about karma you see. It’s just that these “people” if you can call them that, are most opinionated yet most moronic units you could ever come across.

No sympathy for Redditors and their precious accounts

When I hear of a Redditor be like this I yearn to do things…
How much bullying at school must have taken place for someone to… no actually I remember there were people at school like this and this was the reason they were bullied in the first place

Absolute losership of the highest order <spitting onomatopeia>

Words cannot describe how subhuman Redditors are

Orange sludge not even fit to lubricate the smallest gears of the society.

Well anyway, one has to enjoy the great sunny weather today with bbq and sun baths on my summer property so that’s about the amount of attention this topic deserves.
