Udio, an AI song generator website

yeah i'm kinda surprised that there's any debate about this, tbh, the art spaces i come with it's been established in detail why ai art trained on copyrighted art is bad and should be illegal. someone can probably link to a video or an essay or something explaining it in depth, i don't know one offhand.

Two key issues: this is meaningless without a definition of “AI” and, if you define “AI” as “supervised learning,” artists like and have been using supervised learning methods (likely unaware) for more than a decade. Lawyers are the least serious people about this issue.

P much done with this shit, deleted everything I did and created one final recording, a six minute Broadway musical based on utter gibberish I fed it

Holy shit

Put this in the ILX best of 2024 poll, I want to see the reactions to people coming across it blind

This is one of the worst things I've heard in my life jesus https://www.udio.com/songs/2LKznbCzDFYBSmCtzqPRDG

On the other hand this one turned out pretty well. https://www.udio.com/songs/9aewPs85B1SompcaU3Njb9

My general view of this is that it's a fun gimmick, and scarily "realistic", but typing an idea of what you want to hear into a prompt box and it coming out the other end will never match the thrill of hearing exactly what you want to hear being done by a band and knowing other people exist in the world who are thinking in the same way as you

completely. that's why I did the experiment of writing that garbage, because I knew it'd never be able to make coherent music with it and it's attempt to create it would be funny. but having it put together actual songs, the results got very disappointing over time. especially the 'heavy metal' voices used which are always terrible

the thrill of hearing exactly what you want to hear being done by a band

I sent my lyrics and style suggestions to Dave Matthews and I'm still fucking waiting.

An old friend (whose taste in music I do not share, to be fair) has made a full ai-generated song with music video and it's genuinely one of the worst things I've ever heard.

the friend's name was....

...Jedward

I want to share it but you all have to promise not to write mean comments.

Steven Wilson did that lmao

Does anyone know if there is an AI tool that specializes in creating instrumental parts for existing music? Like something that could generate a horn section based on a piece of music uploaded? You'd think that would be easy based on all of the other stupid horseshit we can do. Can't we have something practical?

can somebody please make a version of the family guy theme song in the style of '73 pink floyd, like along the lines or "breathe"?

Sorry, I just used all my credits for today making an early 2000s dance pop version of Throbbing Gristle's 'Hamburger Lady"

made a blues song where some asshole in the audience keeps interrupting and asking questions about details in the lyrics
