Definitely fits under “alternative” lol. Where (if anywhere) does A.I. belong in music? Song drafts? Adding depth to your own work? Banned?

Impressive. It’s surreal to hear Johnny ‘sing’ those lyrics.
As for your questions, I don’t really know… I think whatever the answer may be, overlaps with the SAG-AFTRA strike going on I US.
It’s freakishly impressive
Yeah, this and the ‘Frank Sinatra sings gangsta’s paradise’ video show that the Hollywood strikers might have a point
@renwillis @alternativenation It is incredible. Purely incredible!
And in this case, OK… but AI voices will cause lots of damages I’m afraid.
@gdawirs @alternativenation agreed, it will absolutely be used for evil or worse “new content” from artists…
Well, guess somebody is doing organic marketing campaign outside of the strike.
@MargotRobbie Nah, it popped up and I got curious. I’m an artist and songwriter, I’m opposed to AI replacing artists.
Just teasing. It’s all good.
@MargotRobbie Oh. It’s not all good. You are absolutely right, it’s all so thoroughly fucked!
Tech Bros: we made robots and AI
Us: to end capitalism and let us enjoy life?
Tech Bros: …
Us: TO END CAPITALISM AND LET US ENJOY LIFE!?!?!?!Photography didn’t kill painting, instead it freed artists from the constraints of realism and inspired impressionism and ignited the spark of modern art.
I believe AI transformers are tools, powerful tools, but tools nonetheless (look at my nice profile pic), and can be used for good and bad. So, I think the goal is that AI should be in the hands of everyone instead of only in the hands of the studio execs of the world.
It’s not thoroughly fucked yet, so please don’t stop trying.
@MargotRobbie There’s a major difference. Capitalism is in a very very different place now, wage inequality and anything for a better quarterly financial are worse than ever. To trust the ultra wealthy CEOs to take this tool and use it judiciously and equitably is a fool’s errand.
I don’t trust them, but you can’t stop progress. What you can do is make sure that you have the same tools as them.
