It’s just combining sample WAV files without human coordination, talk about a lame-ass achievement. It’s already easy enough to set BPM and load in files in Ableton and warp them into unison, from what I heard this is basically just that with”HOORAY FOR AI” slathered as a veneer on top.

If you think I’m being harsh, I have my reasons as a professional musician to critique these things in an unflattering light because they are my competition. Thankfully actually “generated” AI music is trash. Copyright is problematic in the US, I admit, but tech bros using copyrighted material to train programs to put us out of business - without paying a penny which even Spotify doesn’t per stream - yeah, I’ll have some disdain about this scenario and I feel it’s justified.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.




Sorry no. Here on HN, your having a vested interest in some market makes your opinion entirely invalid. That is, enless you're interested in one of the correct markets such as software or AI services.
