Re:Riffusion – Stable Diffusion fine-tuned to generate Music by rob74 on Friday December 16, 2022 @02:55AM (#34011979)
I fully agree with what you wrote. This AI-generated music, while a great achievement, still sounds soulless. It's one thing to look at AI-generated pictures for a few seconds, but listening to this music with its gibberish "lyrics" for minutes really creeps me out - it's the "uncanny valley" all over again, I guess.

Regarding "can you use this to help you through?" - yeah, you could probably use it as a source of inspiration, but at the risk of getting sued by someone whos music you didn't even know you were copying...

Yea, it's uncanney valley, sure. For now.

With Stable Diffusion and similar generative systems we have seen a leap in generative art/media, partially with significant improvements within a few months. What makes you think this was the last or only leap in the next 5 to 10 years? As if progress would just stop here? Huh?!

Do you think we hit a ceiling were progress is only tangential? A line which is impossible to cross? Otherwise I dont get this mindset in the face of these modern generative AI systems popping up left and right.
