Unless I'm misunderstanding the article, or your comment, the models were responsible for generating the music _videos_.
The music itself is Uptown Funk... which was a very successful song in 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPf0YbXqDm0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPf0YbXqDm0)
The videos are indeed awful though.
- Philip-J-Fry 2mo agoThey're just saying that like Suno Music, if you look closely the cracks show. They're not saying the music is AI generated.
- saaaaaam 2mo agoYes, I know what the music is. The videos are awful. I meant that watching them is an equivalent experience to listening to music generated by Suno.
- esikich 2mo agoThey are awful because there is no effort put into it. You're missing the point entirely with generative art. Generative art with care and intent is indiscernible from "real" art at this point. You just don't realize it.
- 4chandaily 2mo agoGenerative art with care and intent is art. The intent and care is the whole point. It is the difference between slop and art whether generative or not.
- esikich 2mo agoI completely agree and this is a very unpopular opinion outside of people who actually are artists.
- slopinthebag 2mo agoI think because pretty much all AI generated art is slop. When artists use AI with care and intention in their works, people don’t even realize it’s AI and they don’t care. And that’s fine.
- esikich 2mo agoIt's a new medium and I think that is really exciting to watch it develop.
- slopinthebag 2mo agoTo each their own I suppose.
- 4chandaily 2mo agoAgreed. As with any new tool, there will be an adjustment period before the Overton Window catches up. This is the current era's version of these hit classics: - "If you use autotune,you aren't a real singer!" - "Programming a drum machine isn't really writing percussion!" - "If you use Photoshop, you can't be a real artist." - "No real artist would use duct tape as a medium." - "Video games can't be art." - "Sampling is just ripping off other people's music." Etc. The general public believed each of those things for a few years before accepting, each time, the simple truth. Art is simply a conversation between the artist and the audience. The medium, tools, subject, content, or even size of the audience are all just metadata which accompany the art. It will happen with these tools also.
- slopinthebag 2mo agoBut at the same time, we've had people commissioning art for centuries and we still don't consider the commissioner to be an artist. Using AI as part of your workflow? Possibly art. Using it as your entire workflow? Slop, not art.

- qnleigh 2mo agoI would love to see an example of this! Can you link anything?
