Google is embedding inaudible watermarks right into its AI generated music::Audio created using Google DeepMind’s AI Lyria model will be watermarked with SynthID to let people identify its AI-generated origins after the fact.

Lately in youtube I'm constantly been bombarded with ai garbage music passed as a normal unknown bands and it's getting really annoying. What will happen when there's an actual new band but everyone ignores them because you would think it's just ai?

What will happen when there’s an actual new band but everyone ignores them because you would think it’s just ai?

Their music will speak for itself and elevate them above the AI that is making worse music.

You're asking the wrong question. What happens when you hear something you like, then find out it's made by AI and all of a sudden you have to pretend you never liked it?

A needle in a haystack is much harder to find if the haystack is the size of a truck. People don't have infinite time to listen to music, and if it's almost all the same, they'll stop trying to find upcoming artists, ai or not.

We need an ai to listen to music and tell us what to like by playing it on repeat till we do. Just like the radio stations.

I think probably the vast majority of up and comers in the music scene come from, not just randomly going viral (which I don't think will be a concern with AI music anyways since it will probably sound like shit for the next 50+ years), but probably comes from just trolling around and doing local shows in venues that they know will attract that people who like the noise. I don't think it's very hard to distinguish between AI and people in that context.

Music snobs have been doing this for decades, pretending to like the shittiest pink Floyd b-side because the normies don't get it and acting like Abba's entire catalogue isn't solid bangers because disco isn't cool, until it was again then they'd always loved it.

It'll be just like it always is, Pete Seagar with an axe trying to stop Bob Dylan playing an electric guitar. I remember when people hated d&b and said it wasn't real music and all that shit now they're all telling bullshit stories about how they were og junglist massive.

People will use ai to make really cool things and a loud portion of the population will act superior by pretending it's bad, time will pass and when the next thing comes along all those people will point at the ai music and say 'your new music will never be as good as real music like that' but the people listening to atonal arithmic echolocation beats to study to or whatever the next trend is won't pay them any attention.

Yeah, I've noticed at a young age most people base their tastes in art around what their peers will accept.

As soon as their peers say AI is ok, they will follow suit.

ai garbage music

I think you answered your own question.

Omg the AI voice describing a short is infuriating.

"This man was minding his own business not knowing he was about to change this child's life...Watch how his interaction is measured..."

Dots Do not recommend this channel again

This raises the question of will AI style be the next big trend? Imagine if real painters started painting oil paintings that look uncanny and surreal like an Ai generated art, weird hands, or weird eyes. Imagine if a real quartet decided to play an AI generated piece of music.
