That's pretty amazing.
The song sucks, but here was the cutting edge of AI music just seven years ago.
That it's gone from some nightmarish fever dream mashup to wannabe pop influencer levels of quality in less than a decade is pretty crazy, and as long as there isn't a plateau in the next seven years we'll probably be in a world where AI generated musical artists have a popular enough following that they will have successful holographic concert performances by 2030.
I over and over see people making the mistake of evaluating the future of AI based on the present state while ignoring the rate of change between the past and present.
Yeah, most of your experiences of AI in various use cases is mediocre right now. But what we have today in most areas of AI was literally thought to be impossible or very far out just a number of years ago. The fact you have any direct experiences of AI in the early 2020s is fucking insane and beyond anyone's expectations a decade earlier. And the rate of continued improvement is staggering. Probably the fastest moving field I've ever witnessed.
Call me crazy but I absolutely preferred the fever dream mashup that you posted.
Well, the Beatles and Beach boys are better than emo YouTube influencers as a genre.
But the quality of the production of the fever dream is dramatically worse.
