Pandering

It’s interesting that they would claim they’re a woman, then misgender throughout. Not surprising they put her in men’s prison. Maybe they’re not even trans and just said it to police? They’re definitely crazy.

Or they can shoot you with a poison dart

Don’t drink anything

That’s real. There’s also an antique shop by me that I regularly see exact items I’d seen at goodwill being sold for double the price.

But then JD Vance. He knew what he was doing.

Why do people play the stock market? Highly manipulative by the rich. Put out some bad news, pull a huge number of shares. People are desperate to make money.

Dumpster diving. That used to be MY thing! Now I gotta compete with every Bryson and Zayden for rock hard scones and the least soggy Gruyère and prosciutto muffin. Poverty sucks.

You have a lot of misdirected anger. You’re not even reading my comment. The fight you have is not with me or AI. It’s with how corporations are training their LLM’s.

There is absolutely a way to have ethical generative AI and create music with it. The question was if you still think that’s immoral, but all good if you can’t have that conversation.

I hope you find peace.

Just drink Brawndo

If it’s to support Iranian government, no, if it’s to support Iranian people, yes. If you are not Iranian, maybe leave that to Iranian people or those living/have lived there. Either way there will be people that interpret it one way and people that interpret it another. I’d try to understand the overall purpose of the protest and see if it’s supporting that or distracting from it.

EDIT: I guess there’s a lion and sun flag that can be used to represent the people and not the government. Maybe do a little research about it.

Trump had to make sure another COVID 2.0 didn’t interfere with this term.

People say the exact same thing about hip hop when somebody samples a song. Just the new generation of that argument.

What if there was consent and royalties paid for the music that’s used to create music with gen AI?

What if I tell an AI tool to make me a beat using a specific sample? That’s meat doing the sampling.

Gotta send them $1B I guess

Using the same playbook across the globe for centuries.

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?
