Rick Beato on how easy it is to create AI music
- Thread starter Ice Tea
- Start date
I watched this as soon as he released it and it was pretty horrifying - thankfully there is a huge wealth of real music from the last fifty odd years to fall back on
Suno produces a huge range of output from stuff which is basically rehashing other artists work through to stuff which is more or less original content with the 4.5+ model and a big range in quality - some genres it really struggles especially ones like trance where it has trained a lot on tunes which use a lot of low quality samples other genres it is producing close to studio level now.
In terms of what Rick is talking about I wonder where you draw the line - I made a bunch of music years ago by dragging and dropping samples in various pieces of software like Reason and EJay, etc. which wasn't that much more work than creating a prompt for AI and curating the resulting generation.
One of my first thoughts when seeing this is, for those folks that make a living from writing jingles for advertising etc are all now out of a job
AI generated music is still a long way from being able to be truly sculptured for a specific purpose, for the best output you need to be able to describe what you want using technical terms which in most cases people would only know by having an equivalent level of ability to create music themselves. But the rate of progress is scary.
