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.

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.

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.

No. But the American logic has always been “we must do something” -> “this is something” -> “therefore we must do it”. Take the dumbest idea and run with it, or use it as an excuse for inaction.
