The first AI band that I was aware of was The Velvet Sundown, which made the news for doing well on Spotify before people realised that they weren‘t real. They‘re very MOR AOR type stuff, at least from what I‘ve heard.
It’s not lost on me that they gave her the surname of “Monet” to muddy the waters around Janelle Monet, an R&B artist so deserving that even I know her name
Doubling down on Victoria Monet too...
Wtf does "number one most added at a US radio format" mean? It seems completely nonsensical.
It means they try to shove it down our throats hard?
Country isn't ready for this
Who's claiming R&B isn't profitable? Is there a famous quote or some context I'm missing?
Ok I'm gonna sound like a conservative. But holy shit the pronouns. No. The only pronoun AI gets is "it". You don't start calling these things he/her. Nope nope nope.
Careful, the fascists will tell you this is hate speech, if you replace “AI” with “person” it’s the same hateful pattern, and use it as doublespeak proof that the left are the REAL intolerant ones
their pronouns are Clanker/tin skin
Wireback or code-blooded.
That's a bit like saying a drawing of a fictional woman is also an it. But it's not, it's a representation of a woman so it's a she.
Just because you don't like ai doesn't mean you get to change how language works. Weaponising language sounds like straight out of the transphobe playbook
Calling the depiction of a woman in the image a she is fine. The image is clearly depicting a woman.
Saying "she earned" in regard to knuckleheads clicking on an AI audio collection is incorrect in two ways: the audio files did not come from a she, and there was no earning involved. An audio LLM is unrelated to a depiction of a woman in an image, and cannot earn anything.
Maybe, but I think it's still pretty grey this thread is clouded by people's opinions about AI rather than what's the best way to communicate about something.
" was great last season. She really won people's hearts"
The down votes on correct opinions on lemmy is getting worse.
Oh I thought we were on Reddit
Yeah thats my point! Lemmy is slowly feelimh more like reddit.
Remember payola in the radio business? Pepperidge farm remembers
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?
does it only matter to him when it affects black artists
Yes they're racist
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.
Don't punish the behaviour you want to see.
They realised the problem with AI. This is a good thing.
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.
jfc those have to be bot comments on that video, right?
There are some reaction videos too which seem even worse. Fact is though, the general population doesn't care how their entertainment is made, as long as it entertains them.
Dead internet.
I wanna know why the pen someone uses is relevant to their music.
That’s the thing, I struggle to call it their music and not the AI’s. I’ve messed with Suno and there’s not really much support for tweaking the output to your tastes. If all you’re doing is feeding a prompt and maybe some lyrics to an AI and picking out the best generation I don’t see any difference from a commission and trying to claim you’re the creator.
Now if there was more support for self-expression like img2img and ControlNet with images in the form of isolated stems/instrumentation that follows a given chord progression/mixing I’d say there’s more of a sense of ownership, but as-is there’s not much you can do after the output is made that someone else couldn’t do with the same prompt+model+seed.
Did you reply to the wrong person?
Lyrics, bro
Huh?
It's a metaphor, to say that their lyrics are beautiful.
Oh thank you. I wasn't familiar with the word being used in that way. I have to assume at least 14 people knew this before you and chose not to bother explaining. Thank you for not being one of them.
You've never written a poem with a Bic, clearly
"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.
