Ask HN: Do you listen to AI-generated music?

2 points by rpjt 1 year ago | 2 comments

Recently I caught myself enjoying AI generated music on YouTube. Seems a lot of channels have sprung up lately, full of AI music with no artist attribution.

Any particular AI music you are enjoying these days? What do you think of the proliferation of this AI music?

I haven't pursued this yet, but having a tendency to listen to music without lyrics, and being generally fastidious, I'm interested in doing so. But I'd only do so if able to tailor the music toward my preferences. I think there's a lot of potential for a program that lets the user (easily) tailor AI generated music and I'd heartily dive into such an application. If it allowed to select an instrument (or set of), and perhaps a genre (as a starting point), that would be pretty neat.

No, and I don't care to. The thought experiment that reins in my curiosity about LLM/ML novelty is to imagine living without computers (the infrastructure and "tech tree" of which has significantly harmed life on Earth), and in a world of abundance not dominated by Capitalism. Singing, drumming, humming, maybe some strings and resonators- I like the sound of that. Sing to resonate with the surroundings and other voices. I increasingly find the "technification" of music off-putting, and no longer subscribe to any streaming services. There are many, many musicians and bands I have enjoyed over the years, but increasingly I can live without.
