Happy for Ultraviolence to enter with this and give @Brer a real nightmare:

now this is REAL music!!11!1!!

For what it's worth, I have tried to make a few AI songs myself just out of curiosity before, and there was one especially that I was surprised by 🤭 I wrote the lyrics myself though! Inspired by true events x

A ‘song’ made by AI has no right to call itself a song, it was made without any effort and intention. These Frankensteins are just a result of amalgamation of stolen art that pollutes the internet (it already is an utter dumpster) and makes it a lot harder for real artists out there.

Not blaming anyone who happened to use it here without knowing though, of course! It’s entirely the fault of selfish ignorant opportunistic and stupid people who put these things out without any obvious ‘made with AI’ disclaimers.

I don't have an issue with AI created music if, indeed, it is labelled clearly as such and just used for fun and not for commercial gain. I have 'generated' many 'songs' on Suno myself for a laugh with family and friends, for sharing in jokes in song form etc. But I don't think it should be used for commercial gain or released on services that make money for the 'creator'.

The lines are getting very blurred very quickly though and I do think AI will be part of more chart music before long. It's telling that we are only a few years in and already can't tell the difference between some AI and human created songs, so some producers and artists are bound to see what they can get away with. I suspect though that in particular it's hard to tell with a shoegaze song because the genre is low-fi and distorted anyway, like a lot of AI stuff still is. I'm yet to hear any AI produced pop song that doesn't clearly sound like AI.

Even with that Xania Monet artist who is charting in some US charts, the hallmarks are there; the bass on her music feels slightly distorted, the vocal sounds too perfect with no human emotion and slightly robotic at times, the song titles on her album have capitalisation in weird places etc...

Weirdly one of the few things AI songs is preferable to is A1 songs

(Except Caught in the Middle)

Same Old Brand New You says hi

Let's just take a moment to appreciate this cinematic classic from over 2 decades ago too while we are at it.

I remember we recorded that movie on VHS at home. #spooky #thefutureishere

(The only other one I remember right now is we had Eyes Wide Shut which I probably watched when I was too young to understand it 🤭 Planning to re-watch it now that I'm somewhat of an adult x)

There are some AI Spice Girl versions of steps songs on YouTube, totally sending one of those to a contest!!!

It's a website where you can listen to music and chat just like plug.dj! I'll post a link in a couple of hours *.*

Except you can't be an owl or a burger avatar, or woot/meh songs

You can put your username in a custom colour though 😍

The harrowing days of collecting mehs like strays and knowing you were doomed immediately

I miss Plug.DJ, genuinely the peak of Buzzjack for me 😂❤️
