I set it to play in the background and was thinking: ‘this is very good for AI, and a decent (but not very interesting) song,’ and then came back and took a closer look at the screen. Holy hell, my mind instantly asploded.
Matching the vocal so well to the text and having it sound so nuanced and well-sung is… almost terrifying. oO
I can relate with the terrifying sentiment. I don’t exactly find it terrifying, just… disruptive and not in a good way.
Making good music is inherently a human trait - and it saddens me that there might be a future in which I say “hey Alexa, sing me a cheering song,” and the damn thing comes up with something incredibly beautiful and effective.
What will humans be unique for in such future of artificial creativity?
Then on top of that, we have the fucking capitalism thing. If machines are capable of doing a lot of grunt work, even the creative ones, where is our no work, free food and shelter for everyone utopia?
