They are a transformer in the same sense ChatGPT is a transformer. And hence they do generate new content that share characteristics and patterns with existing one. It’s no clone tool. Lyrics are new. They probably follow the grammar rules of certain language, but it’s not copy paste. Chords will probably be shared, but melody is new. Etc.

Garbage in garbage out

You can’t always tell, I can’t always tell, bandcamp can’t always tell. And it’s only going to get harder.

Yes, I’m a bot. Here’s your cookie recipe!

No, I get it. It’s generative. GPT: Generative Pretrained Transformer. Music generators add a diffusion layer, but it’s fundamentally new music being generated, not copies of existing songs.

My point is that it’s just another tool, that automates it even more. It’s not the same, it’s the next step.

Depending on the site, TikTok takes like 80% while YouTube take less than 50%.

That’s also a possibility, for sure. But it’s a tiny minority of people who do that.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct!

Maybe 1 of a thousand redirects actually does go to a malicious site.

Or maybe you like supporting creators and in general pay people for their goods and services.

Ok, if this is just a spam prevention I think it’s fine. Obviously I didn’t read the article (as tradition mandates).

That’s not how transformer neural networks work…

I disagree on all counts.

It’s not exploitative, it doesn’t exploit anyone.

It’s not trash, and if it were you wouldn’t need to regulate it because people would reject it on the merits.

The space belongs to whoever wants to create art, with whatever tools they want to do it. Gatekeeping and true Scotsman arguments are really grasping.

I don’t know what “social value” is created. A nurse or a fireman create social value. You won’t see them worrying about AI. If AI could put out fires they would definitely be interested.

What does monetary worth have to do with anything? A photo of the Mona Lisa is an exact replica, you could even make it bigger to appreciate the details better. If what you like is the picture, you can have it. If what you want is speculation and tax write offs, then you need the scarcity.

I hope you are familiar with survivorship bias.

Same as vocaloid. Or autotune. How far do we go?

Besides, again, who cares. If you like the music, enjoy it, if not, pass.

Well, maybe.

Using AI to detect AI? Someone’s head is going to explode.

So you’re saying a milli vanilli would be basically impossible to detect.

Besides, who cares? Isn’t the purpose to enjoy the music? Whether some uses a capella, instruments, electric instruments, autotune, vocaloid or AI… if you like the music, listen to the music. It’s ultimately created by a human using tools.

Those are not exclusive. Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, etc… are all constitutional monarchies with a (social) capitalist economic system.
