Please don't post AI-generated stuff here.

This discussion thread is pinned and locked. It is closed to new replies.

I'm just calling it "stuff" because IMO it doesn't qualify as art, which real music is.

AI versions of music, images and writing aren't created by either generative AI, which follows algorithms mindlessly while patching something together from data sets of stolen human work, or the people feeding the AI prompts and often having to sort out a lot of undesirable and often very creepy results to get anything remotely acceptable. And what's "created" plagiarizes real human work.

A lot of musicians have been expressing concern about the use of generative AI.

And while this DU group focuses on music, videos using images created by AI disrespect real human artists. Just as AI-generated lyrics in a real songwriter's style disrespect the songwriter. As Nick Cave, for instance, has made clear: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103493882 .

I realize AI-generated stuff excites a lot of people. Especially those who think using generative AI somehow makes THEM into real musicians, visual artists or writers.

There's a lot of that stuff around. After all, it can be generated in minutes, with little or no effort - and absolutely no talent - required.

An AI music company called Boomy already has nearly 15 MILLION tracks out there: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/ai-music-app-boomy-spotify-stream-manipulation/ .

DUers could post tens of thousands of AI-generated tracks here every day, and not get close to the bottom of the barrel of that stuff.

And in no time it would completely swamp real music by real artists.

I would not want to see - or hear - that.
