A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI generated artist

No

It's not an artist, it's a computer program. More to the point, it's a distance measuring type database whose input was the hard work, sweat and tears from real human beings and whose output is a mix of that but lower quality

There is nothing new, nothing inspiring, nothing renewing, it's just as if they took all historical songs and tusees them in a blender and still filtered out the best bits that were left.

There is no singer that can awe you with her extreme vocal range, there is nothing that can touch you on your heart. This is pure ones and zeroes at work, all directed by some asshole who used some mathematical algorithms to figure out what sounds should be combined to make as much money as possible.

That is the crux of it: real artists work hard and mostly starve whilst giving you something from the heart. Managers and record companies would then make money off that (and keep most of it anyway). Now it's just the money makers and they can tune everything just to be the perfect money printer machine.

Over time, expect much, MUCH more of this and yes, real artists will likely mostly disappear because as always, a small group of people like us will protest this and reject it, but the big masses will just lap it up anyways

I disagree that real artists will disappear. Rather I believe that the underground will be more relevant than ever.

All genres are infested with AI generated slop. This is not a race thing or whatever he’s claiming. Did he forget that a couple of months ago the ai rock band Velvet Sundown with fake white dudes was all over the news. Or does it only matter to him when it affects black artists?

Don't punish the behaviour you want to see.

They realised the problem with AI. This is a good thing.

Not sure, but you didn't use this moment to frame this as more people joining the fight. Instead it sounds petty. 🤷‍♂️

AI slop sucks. The more people thar realize that, the better. Humans are fallible, but I will take them realizing there's a problem once they see it.

You posted this while I was typing a reply and it's funny how similar our comments are lol

Not even close to the first Suno-generated "artist" to do well on streaming and this one was generated by a black woman so I'm not sure what it has to do with the industry being racist

Good example of someone who wasn't paying attention to an issue until it affected them

First they came for AI country music, but I did not speak out because I was not a country fan

Slop. Any company that throws slop at us like this should be remembered.

Here is the song if anyone is interested : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nWRysTT_PF0&t=73s&pp=2AFJkAIB

Not really my style but it feels like a bunch of tropes rolled into one. Shame because AI can kind of let you push boundaries but this is musically and lyrically just very tame. Simply boring imo.
