I like music by people who did drugs, computers can’t do drugs.

As a musician and composer, I will never ever use AI to make a single note of music, and will never listen to to AI music by choice. I want someone to put a little bit of their soul in every piece they create, just like I do. BTW, Tidal offers a AI music switch if you don’t want any of that crap to reach your feed.
As Mr. Ross once said, there’s only happy accidents.
I’d take a good time, no drinking required, with a group of jolly folk making the most nonsensical sounds than I do with the monotone, self-pleasing notes of a machine.
If you want infinite personalised music, you get an instrument, and learn to play your own.
I have infinite personalized music at home. It’s my guitar.
Infinite personalized happiness is narcotics injected straight into your bloodstream. Personalized happiness is the trivial null solution of multiplying by zero to solve an equation. It is achieving thermodynamic equilibrium indistinguishable from a static cold dead rock. The more interesting feat is achieving a dynamic happiness and harmonic responsive to the comings and goings of diverse and varied travelers, none of whom are guaranteed to be safe, and for that, are made all the more interesting.
wut?
Read it again, and slowly. Take your time to let it sink in.
got it
That’s poetry!
Why can’t they figure out infinite personalized income instead?
If you told tech bros UBI is actually an AI based algorithm distributing money with the aim of stimulating the economy, they’d be all over it
They are doing that right on the picture.
Infinite personalized music would become the most boring ass shit ever. Because the system would continually just play what you like and what you like would become narrower and narrower and narrower until it’s just the same sound over and over and over again.
There would be no listening to a randomized playlist that would occasionally pop in some new music from a new artist and the sound pops in your brain and you go “wow this is really amazing” and you discover a new song and sound that excites your brain. Instead you would just slowly become mentally numb listening to your infinite personalized slop.
Not only that but the entire social aspect of music is gone. It’s a wonderful experience to find a person who has similar taste in music to me. I can talk about it for hours. That disappears if everyone is fed a personalized feed of extremely tailored music. If things keep going the way they are Gen Z to the Baby Boomers really did have the best childhoods. We’re really making things worse for Gen Alpha on.
Also completely misses the entire idea of fucking culture. How do you get a taste in “what you like”? YOU LISTEN TO WHAT OTHERS SHOW YOU!!! That’s culture: SHARED experiences.
Goddamn. The kinds of people rooting for this idea where you only listen to what you like are definitely the same ones who think the best way to meet a date is through as app. The only surprising part is that the silent majority aren’t angry enough to break their apathy yet.
Absolutely. I dumped Spotify and the rest a couple years ago and went back to an mp3 player. Since leaving streamers I’ve discovered so much more music than I ever did with the algorithms. My old “safe” music I used to listen to seems boring by comparison.
Here’s the thing I don’t think its even that, if it infinitely personalized to what I want then I wouldn’t have ever gone out of my comfort zone and discover other types of music I now like.
I would just be listening to infinite greenday like some sort of corpopunk purgatory.
Art is more than what’s comfortable to you.
The worst is that statement sounds so much like he never had any emotion listening to music.
He was never blasted by something he couldn’t imagine before, and he thinks finding new things one like is just a mash-up of what one has heard before already.Are these guys fucking humans??
Welcome to the concept of psychopaths.
They gave up their humanity to be what they are.
I can’t tell you how many tech bros I’ve seen who suggest listening to music is a waste of time. In their words, why listen to music when you could be listening to a podcast and learning something?
These people have optimized their lives in such a way that they are close to inhuman.
Lol, that’s always been my impression when these guys talk about AI making art and stuff, it’s obvious these people never saw an art piece that moved them deeply and indescribably, they think it’s just a matter of putting the nice colors in a certain way.
is AI music very good though? good at what? at generic arrangements that render special into regular?
When I get in the car and Tupac starts rapping about how I am going to the grocery store, the bank, and the liquor store and narrating every little thing that happens along the way only to realize that he narrated my entire afternoon in song… I’ll know it’s time to stomp on my phone and snip my internet.
People that think like that seems to not engage with art enough;
Also, I really wanna see an AI bro try to make AI write lyrics like Caparezza’s one, they won’t be able lmao
I’m not even 100% in the fuck AI camp. But I don’t want AI music, I want music from the bands and artists I like. I like finding new music I’ve never heard and adding that artist to my list.
If they have a bad song, or a bad album, I want that. That’s something to talk about to other fans of the artist. I only like songs from 2 albums from Arctic Monkeys, but I really like those songs.
It’s impressive when virtually every song from a band I enjoy. I can rank them in mind, oh I really like three days grace from when Adam was the singer. I don’t want generic this is fine music 24/7. Or even “this is good” music 24/7. Sometimes I like a song because the beat, sometimes it’s relatable, sometimes it’s funny.
I like picking music when I’m at a gathering and people saying “oh my name always plays good music”. Sometimes if I show up late and someone’s playing music, they stop it and ask me to start playing music, that feels good. I can’t imagine just throwing on generic AI pop or something in those situations.
*Edit: I also like when I’m out and about and hear something I like that I’ve never heard, and I get to Shazam it to see what it is, and now I’ve got a new song or artist to listen to.
finally, being way too much on rym pays off. Ive never needed the algorithm, all playlists are my own and idgaf about apple musics suggested ones.
no but all jokes aside its a huge fucking problem. Good reccomendations are an invaluablr service in the musical community, and the fleeting time in which it was possible to use the algorithm meaningfully to find new music relating to your tastes was actually great. Which is ofcourse also exactly why its such a big problem when ai becomes auditorily (talking about artifacting here) indistinguishable from human made, AND that they show up alongside the human made without clear distinction.
If you really care, thinking about this sstuff always pays off. Personally in the process of getting my collection self hosted on jellyfin or something. Untill then, im keeping a sharp eye on the streaming shenanigans
but also also, CHECK OUT INTERNET RADIO. Discovered it like a year ago. Its like tapping into a world wide community of music nerds. Very early internet vibes
check out 16bit.fm B.T.M and I.D.E.A for some really tasty ravish electronics or Groove.fm from brazil for some immaculate chill vibes. The dj hasnt gotten the hang of it yet, some of the most insane transitions ive heard in a while, but that just shows that theres an actual person in brazil rocking out and trying their best, and that just brightens my day every time.
Keep it real out there ✌️
My idea of hell is hearing infinite music for the first time.
I like new music, but first listen is always the hardest. music grows on me - rare is the song that i love at first listen.
