The AI Thread

[kelownabomberfan]

This kind of blew me away:

AI creates a fictional female singer, then is given a premise and writes a song with the fictional female singer it just invented singing it with music and lyrics.  All done in minutes.  Will this replace human musicians?

[Rich]

It will replace a lot.   Things like movie scores, commercials and places where the song isn’t front and center. 
 

For some pop music, this has almost already been happening with the formulaic writers.  Just won’t need those humans. 
 

I think what this does do is put a premium on authentic musicians and live performances.  I haven’t yet seen AI put emotion and lived experience into songs. 
 

And the more it generates and can flood the market, I think the more people will crave human created content.

This is the way of the future. AI will make the music we listen to & record companies won't have royalty payments.

Here is the song in its entirety with the AI Sadie in a video.

With obscura primavera by CAN as my guide I've become aware to the fact that my presence within a higher tier of vacation provided me with the opportunity to live out the truth that our reality is absurd, for why else should I be standing here on the 18th floor of an apartment in downtown Winnipeg and thinking to myself: We must'nt have yet imagined small enough numbers?

I stare down at the street and see a dark woman in white. She stands still for a time looking downward herself. When she begins to move, she does so unstably, as if she doesn't know where she's going, and I'm reminded shortly after me neither, and I'm reminded less quickly that it's easy to cry in this universe when you're doing the best that you can. And I'm reminded that I wish I had my slippers as I sit down to rest, soon-to-be innocent fun/let's see Arthur Russell

With plock plone in sounds coming into my ears I think this playlist of noise was additionally well suited as selected by my guide, you know who he is. When you're high you can feel a thought having flown away and being replaced by another and this you can feel behind your left eye. There were other words I had wanted to write here but I can no longer remember and I remember we live in a society where diaries are less cringey when called letters and given out for others to read.

Does it matter what's real when you can create your own what's real? I don't know but it's a requiem for a father s’been delivered and the duretti column where recorded.

A personal playlist entry of mine reminds that it’s when listening to seabird innovations that you can close your eyes and know exactly where to fly with your head and whether or not and how high to lift your arms and take off

I stand here high now indulging in moments while listening to jefre cantu-ledesma blare me into the faun

The taste of absurdity is reminded to me by the arrival of Noah’s Ark and it’s a cocorosie something I'm beginning to familiarize with so I can better understand what's to come and what’s going on now.

Perhaps it was just so I could say I like ii dive pt 2 just as much when I'm in Winnipeg and to be reminded the least people can do in their nicely convenient cubes in the sky in downtown Canada is to open their blinds to entertain those beneath with closed eye dance movements as you listen to your preferred sounds while high

One incredibly cool and brilliant thing about Winnipeg is it's offering to the world of a particular spot of collected Inuit subconscious, and it’s one that’s been born out primarily in sculpture. Perhaps that was what I was supposed to see came to mind when into my ears came all I want sounds from the LCD Soundsystem

I was dancing towards the window for the reason that all people do who do drugs because you're naturally drawn to the natural light with one convincing hypothesis for this being all the better for being seen by witnesses from other light years of distance and that was just natural anthem by the postal service danced out to the darkness of downtown Winnipeg against the earthly gravity of 9.807 meters per second squared. And who is it responsible for sending our written numbers off to the other light years distance with the sequence of words tied to each number to explain some internal of what previously was?

I finished the night with the coocoo's coo of #ishalllove2 and a memory in mind of a young woman sitting in solace at the Winnipeg Art Gallery who stood up and took me to a Portrait of a Lady by Lucas Cranach the Elder and there she described how an older, since hidden, layer to the image shows a shrunken head on a platter before she drifted away and I’ve never since seen her again nor do I know where she floats

Its an interesting dilemma. On the one hand, most existing art is already inspired heavily by the work of previous artists, so the fact that AI can do it isn't exactly a problem on its own. The difference is that previously even work inspired by others took individual skill and talent to adapt. Now literally anyone can do it. I don't know how I feel about that.

Its a tough thing to navigate.  Is AI taking the same creative freedom that another artist does or is it copied and should the original artist be compensated.

The other interesting aspect is the more content that is generated by AI, the more AI learns from AI generated content (there are various articles out there on the potential dangers on this... here and here are a couple, but there is a lot of theories on this)   

Can AI learn to have "creative leaps" or will this always have to come from humans.  And if humans start relying on AI, do we lose the ability to really think and make those leaps.  Studies are starting to come out on how people who use AI to write vs people who write themselves use very different portions of the brain.  You really aren't learning critical thinking when using AI.

I am in software development and all of these questions apply there as well. The creative leap aspect is a big one. In our experience AI is great at producing/regurgitating (even large) projects as long as they are concepts that have already been done. It is absolutely garbage at coming up with novel solutions or working with APIs/technologies that are newer and have fewer sources to draw from.
