    Not a generic AI hater, just kinda pointing out how this is some generic soulless music. Posts like this used to mean someone spent hours and hours writing the song, recording it or producing it etc… Now it’s a subscription and a prompt. Just not the same, even if I hadn’t liked the song I would have respected the work but now, I dunno.

    Anyway. I gotta give props here for the visuals though, someone clearly put time in there and I appreciated it.

      The visuals are the best thing I’ve seen today 😆

      I’m pretty sure someone wrote the lyrics here or at least put some good amount of effort in. With my experiments it was far off from that kind of rhymes with ABAB schemes and rhyming a word in the middle of the line.

      Sure, back in the day and without AI it was different: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9sJUDx7iEJw (RMS singing the Free Software Song).

      (I myself don’t have any issues with AI singing and doing music. No one can replace my favorite artists and bands anyways. And I wouldn’t notice if they added yet more soulless and dull pop to the radio program. Because that’s already pretty much there is to it.)

        There’s absolutely a place for generated music. I have no doubt I’ll be bobbing my head to some ai beats before long. I think I was just bemoaning the changing of the things. Effort in the cause of good and beauty should always be rewarded.

          I agree. Especially music is such a nice thing. And it has quite some power to address emotions pretty directly. And it’s very diverse, individual, multi-faceted. And in theory everyone can participate and learn to play an instrument. Or sing in the car or the shower…
