"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

No one is really doing enough to combat AI music. I don't think that AI music has no place. However, I think it should be free and it shouldn't profit off the music it's copied/remixed from. I do not believe writing a prompt constitutes creating music. And I don't want it mixed in with real music.
I also don't like a lot of electronic music, before anyone asks, but that's not the same thing. Programming beats takes more skill than writing a prompt. I can see the slippery slope comments, but I don't think they hold much water.
Apple Music (one of the 3 things I use) says they are flagging AI music, but this won't be shown to consumers. Apple has lagged behind everyone else with AI, but apparently they are going all in this year. They registered genai.apple.com, but we don't know what they're going to do with it yet. They're replacing Siri with Gemini (Google), but apparently trying to keep it private. I don't really buy it.
I hate 99.44% of electronic music. But yes, it takes genuine skill and talent to make it. I just happen to not like it at all.
AI electronic music lacks anything but the surface feel of the real thing. i hate it even more.
What was the one electronic track that won you over?
Darude - sandstorm
No idea. I just used the generic "very large proportion" number. :D
Deezer seems to do a decent job. Publishing numbers and filtering content. They can probably do a better job. But it was enough for me to switch over.
