And theres nothing wrong with that. The issue is people like Altman thinking creativity et al is just a formulaic mish-mash of what exists and is not as difficult. Like yeah ok mate....
As a tool, it could be useful as a starting point (a way to get your creativity going), but the sound is completely wrong.
Early Udio generated songs when run through a stem splitter were horrible to listen to and you could hear how it was just generating the frequencies with none of the texture—like a simulation of the frequencies an instrument would produce.
At the very least they should be re-recorded with real instruments and vocals or using the existing digital tools. Slop is one word; I like to use mush, as that is what it sounds like when you really listen closely.
The sound is amazing if you’re doing it right. I produce music using the old fashioned way, with a DAW, and have done for decades, and there are some songs that I’ve made with AI that I go to again and again because they sound great.

Lots of people love making them, almost nobody likes listen to them so you are the audience of the app you use to create it, not a creator.

Fully agree on that. You have to pour your creative spirit into it in one way or another.
My favorite AI songs are those that have been created with human intervention and creativity, not just button mashing

Basically, what we’re seeing is the personalization of media.
Now create a HN clone where the Aai audience enjoys your content.
Given parent’s handle I think you’re on to something.
My parents gave me a wonderful gift: a loophole for my narcissism

I think it’s useful in a number of ways.
