Hey was this the guy responsible for McCartneyism?

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 50 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah, but one of his band mates was responsible for Lennonism. You've gotta take the good with the bad.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 25 points 2 days ago

And what of the Georgists?

That guy really starred.

Despite the name, they were really Armenian

I have here in my hands a list of 273 known Rolling Stones fans

if AI is going to destroy the music industry then I'm all for it. it's never going to destroy music. people will always want to create new things

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago

AI will never destroy Stavcore. They lack the soul to take a pre-existing song and replace the lyrics with something like "I'm gay and my penis is small"

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

it only took Nick a soundboard with 6 buttons on it to create a convincing Stavbot replica

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

To replace Stav the Cackling Glutton, not Stav the Comedy Genius

Treasures such as Thousand Island Stare and Dream to Imagine and the little parody songs can never be replicated by AI

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago

to be honest the only ai content I've enjoyed is lyric replacements in bands to make them gay

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

I think the AI tools used for the last song was primarily to separate Lennons voice and piano from the artifacts of the poor quality demo, including a persistent hiss.

Bad sensationalist headline, should really be more clear about what uses are being discussed. He's clearly not against the audio tools that helped on the song, but against generative AI exploitation. There's no reversal going on.

[-] RION@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

It's even explained in the first link of the article. About as much "using AI" as DLSS is for video game rendering. Which is to say, a lot, but not in the way people think of "AI" now

[-] D61@hexbear.net 47 points 2 days ago

Me listening to the AI songs on youtube like, "You've gotta quit jizzing in the hot tub" and "I've glued by balls to my butthole (again)"

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 25 points 2 days ago

Oh no AI have perfectly recreated Frank Zappa

11/10 would listen again

[-] JohnBrownsBawdy@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

Literally searching for them now.

[-] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 6 points 2 days ago

If only I had listened to those in time… :(

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I wrote a metal track and burnt a tree down to produce it with some AI thing earlier this year, it was pretty funny. I figured if the message could affect one dumbass kid it would be worth the tree. https://www.tiktok.com/@serlava_gaming/video/7420624341198458155 the actual start of the song is at 2:00 in, i started in the middle of the song because tiktok

Being able to reproduce the most popular band ever isn't the same as creating new music.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

No, but it could be much more profitable.

[-] context@hexbear.net 36 points 2 days ago

hey now, i didn't mean for the leopards to to eat into my royalties

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

good, kill all art "industries"

[-] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 2 days ago

Replacing commercialized art with bland, machine learning generated slop is not a step forward.

[-] SmokinStalin@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

Hard lateral step

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

Revolution 9.1 just dropped

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

Revolution 9 is a legit good tune. I like experimental music.

[-] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

McCartney is just jealous that he cannot make Dagoth Ur sing "My Way" so passionately that it touches me deeply in my heart chamber. catgirl-heart

I thought this was c/fakenews

[-] GrosMichel@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

Oh come on, that's absurd. I'm not a Beatles fanboy but they were incredibly influential, clearly very creative, and made so many different sounds, that it's really undeniable that they were among the greatest of all time.

Put it in the context of the era. Alright, it's not free form Jazz but it's still incredibly talented. They blew up because nobody was doing it like them.

[-] GrosMichel@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I would like you to know you just got copy-pastaed.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Johnny Thunders and the Heatbreakers was the best rock band. The Beatles never wrote One Track Mind

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago
[-] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Depends which Beatles songs, it could definitely print the average slop they were putting out at the beginning (wrt the software that extends songs, not just stem separation which can be cool)

[-] SupFBI@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

Coo coo coochoo

[-] peppersky@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

He's right. AI actually will kill everything.

[-] TheWolfOfSouthEnd@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 day ago

So he made an AI song, made a load off it, now he’s against it? Am I getting this right?
