This is a 25 min piece of art - satirical edutained genre defying expression of commentary. I'm a big big fan and part of the nobody collective!

I can't believe how underrated this channel is!

look there aren't many YT channels where i'll not only be asked to be notified but also comment on the premiere 17 hours early

Imagine 20 years down the line how everybody wil reminisce with great nostagia to this time when AI was wanky, quirky, weird and unpolished... I can see it becoming a type of aesthetic, defined by technica imitations just as much as the 80s and 90s had their own.

I loved this video, but that finale showed me one thing. AI is nowhere close to replicating the sound of Aphex Twin.

AI has FINALLY revealed HOW Bach could play such complex pieces: it was clearly the 6th finger appearing as needed.

"It has no preconcived notions of what music should sound like" I disagre. ALL it has is preconcived notions of what music sounds like because that is it's training data. You can get random seed mixtures of the latent space adjusting to your prompt but nothing truly inovative because It does not have a true understanding as we do of what music is, Its history, theory or the cultural context of today. It can not convey a human experience or emotion because it has not had one. What it does is It convay a mixture of the data of humans musical output. If you say trained it on a singer you could capture a data fingerprint of their cadance or tonal character but in a song context something will be missing in the output because it is not performing that song it is synthisyzing it from a network of data from many songs. It is combinig a network of output. When humans create music not only do we have the connections in our brains from outputs of music that we have heard but it also mixes with a network of connections from outputs of life experience, music theory and a knowledge of what has been done in music and a emotion or new concept that we want to express. not just consolodated connecitons in our brain from the output of music we have heard.

Oh man, I really want the full track of that proto punk synthpop darkwave AI song. So good!

Brilliant. I’m so pleased that someone is putting this side of the conversation forward. Also, the Ableton Ninja was hilarious. 👍👍😂

AI music feels like the next step in the evolution of sampling. When sampling first started, many people doubted its creativity. Yet, artists like RZA and Dilla have shown how transformative it can be. AI is similar - it’s a tool. Like a paintbrush, it's value comes from the creativity of the person using it. Brilliant work!

Imagine creating music with Ai then you learn how to play that music and make it your own. Or use it as a royalty free sample generator. It’s a tool just like synths, drum machines, samplers and software that allowed humans to create new genres of music.

The voices will now come back to life and sing again

Haruto Fujimota -Ableton Libe Ninja 😂 This is epic

I love how serious all of these people you interview are! I mean, every, single, one, barely moves a muscle in their whole body, except their face muscles. And even then, their lips don’t even fully sync up with what they are saying like…..as if they are just so , SO focused on musicianship that they don’t care that they are actually Being controlled by AI Very interesting video though whoever made this. Thank you.

This video is amazing. I like how informative it is and how you used AI to make the people talk.

Long live the nobodies!! ✊

I don't comment much. This episode is something I am going to share without reservation. So well done! You have a fan in me.

FUN FACT: in the UK, musicians tried to LEGALLY BAN synthesizers from music production via a new LAW, as they feared their jobs in the orchestra would be at risk.

As hilarious as this video is, the comments are even better.

I'm a simple person. I prompt a song in the morning to get me going on a good vibes and it feels like a good cup of coffee. They're my morning songs and I like them a lot.

top tier AI channel

I think we should tweak your point: there is little *monetary* incentive to create original and experimental music. But if an artist is moved by something other than money (creativity, love of music, etc.) it’s probably the best time to be a musician as the tools are cheaper and easier to come by than ever.

Where can I find that beautiful Alan Watts Voice Model?

i need a deep dive into dataset machine learning so i can integrate it to my own musical exploration. where can i beggin? is your patreon a good starting point?

The first time i wrote a prompt into midjourney and have seen the results i've said: this is the closest thing to magic. I feel like we are in the same situation of people seeing the first Lumière Films. As someone who post on KZfaq his songs made with AI, i find the creative process being more complete then ever: imagine a single person with the possibility to create an orchestral music that sounds like Ennio morricone or a Rock song that sounds like AC/DC or a romantic song in that sounds like Taylor Swift. in the same album. Human works where always made by stealing and combining things already heard; ai just reveal something that already was under the illusion of creation: nobody invents anything, it is just a recombining process. Ps: Great video, one of the best i ever found on KZfaq honestly

I can totally see music execs use ai instead of actually hiring talented musicians

You are a genius man. I cant describe how much I love this. A mix of documentary, dry humor, excellent editing, and all the AI tools you must have used. This is inspiring. I absolutely love it.

How fortunate we are indeed. Lovely! More!

Awesome work. State of the art. Cool story. The AI tech seems to have improved since your last video 👍🏆

The video is entirely entertaining! I hope you enjoyed all the stages of putting it together.

I think exactly the same way as the documentary concludes. For those who really possess an artistic mind, AIs are just a means, they are not an end. They are the raw canvas and not the already painted picture. They are just a new tool and not the finished product. Those who use them otherwise than that have little imagination and are not so much smarter than AIs, which in fact do not have an iota of real intelligence, but only an enormous computational capacity (which is NOT intelligence). Very good, beautiful documentary without the usual bias. 🤲👍🙂

Ok. Sorry I skipped around but will rewatch. In general this is pretty brilliant as usual. I know you try to keep it light but if you do more please include with your other music tech “destroyers of music’ 😂 - drum machines (drummers out of work) - sample libraries (no more real instruments particularly orchestras) - loop libraries (no more session players and pretend songwriters) As an old school music tech guy now in the throws of AI, I find these as other fun references Thanks for another super cool video. 🎉

here before this channel blows up.

*WOW.... BRAVO GUYS... THAT WAS FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC... WHAT A HURCULEAN EFFORT RIGHT THERE THAT I CERTAINLY SHALL APPLAUD... SOOOO VERY ENTERTAINING AND ENLIGHTENING... I ACTUALLY LEARNED MORE THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD... FAH REELZ... THANK YOU FOR YOUR CREATION HERE... GOD BLESS*

The movie “Idiocracy” was really a documentary. Watch it and you will understand this ai trend is not what seems. Praying for humanity🤲🏾✨🙏🏾

This video is a blend of interesting insights and obvious logical fallacies as usual but they're always entertaining and I'm excited to see what you do with the new wave of video generators.

This. I enjoy how it's made clear that A.I. isn't meant to replace anything, just that it's a new medium of expression for something that will exist as long as we exist. That being said, A.I. has a long way to go before the stuff I've been dreaming about starts working. Maybe that long way is a few months, I dunno, but still. I still can't generate an isolated drum track on Udio or Suno, but I guess I could try using the learning models you used for that Beach Boys model. Right now it's a little rough around the edges, I've got to do a few more steps than I'd like. I'd like to be able to record a whole song and then run it through a model to simulate it being recorded live in the studio, all the band members in the same room. That would be awesome.

And then Deadmau5 created Strobe which is like the Mozart of Electronic music.

Why does AI voices still suck so much at changing tones?

At the end of the day- telling a story comes from our brain, how we do it is completely open. I like this a lot. Great Job.

When it generates separate multi tracks for entire compositions that will be INSANE

Maybe now we can "find" more Milky Edwards.

ok but we need that fire ableton live theme

Hey @nobodyandthecomputer Great stuff! A whole album exploring that Beach Boys sound would awesome! Do you post your music on Soundcloud?

The next step in music is the complete destruction of music itself. Think sampling and resampling until a piece becomes basically Frankenstein’s monster.

Most creative of you nobodies 😂 thanks friends

This video is pure poetry.. Mainly because while it's saying why AI is soo incredible, it's disturbing, distorted and empty filled with AI half baked stuff. It almost looks like a bad trip. Just as the mentioned singer "Caetano Veloso" would say: "QUE LOUCURA BICHO"

Brilliant video! I can see how AI will change the experience for the listener but as a musician I only want to play with other musicians. If AI can replicate that experience for me I'm all in.

This great ❤keep going!

Brilliant work, thank you!

Describing synthesis techniques is much more effective and using you’re own data sets from your own music is where it has value

Listen, I am far from an AI detractor, even as a music-maker myself... But from start to finish, this video isn't convincing at all, it even pulls the "music sounds samey because DAW" argument which only those who know nothing about the subject bring up. The music samples aren't impressive either, Udio does a much better job despite being trained on the lowest common denominator.

This is wonderful. Thoughtfully great.

I am a bit confused about the voice cloning section. Is it Nicos voice that is cloned or Caetano Veloso's voice? from watching it I can't understand why Nicos voice was cloned, then changed into Caetanos voice. Can someone explain please I feel like I'm missing something really obvious!

The AI video is so creepy. Not sure I can support that kind of thing currently. the fact that people will get used to this makes me sad.

Loving the approach. If in the right hands, you definitely can see how future creative approach art in the future.

This channel deserves millions of subscribers. Such great perspectives and use of these early AI video and voiceover technologies

Same with the mobile phone Same with cars Same with studio artists and ghostwriters Same with facebook etc...😂

No, AI won't "save" music as music doesn't need to be saved. It is a human thing. Remember, the 'industry' is not music.

The voice specialist didn't breath. Her chest do not move at all. I'm not hating the AI which made the video, I'm only giving a constructive feedback. We can live in peace. Remember I'm a cool guy when the singularity happens.

This is amazing what ai do you use

AI might be good for spitting out song chunks for real musicians to play.

I'm a music producer and I've seen AI in music for years, so I don't see anything changing

Even as a musician, I was pretty tired of listening to the same monotonous music from the industry and longed for something creative. I have been using A.I Generatives for a while and I must say that it will not really destroy musicians directly, but fuel them up for more creativity to remain relevant and have a human touch. This video is on point.

I'm an AI music artist.... and meh, just makin cool music and experimenting and trying to find stuff that sounds nice / put out positive messages. Save music? Destroy music? Ehhh, not everything has to be so bombastic and extreme (I guess it does on YT tho, get those clicks and all).

Quite a great wellcrafted video

🎉😊😅! thanks for great ideas and inspiration!

The relationship between technology and music is a relationship.

AI is as "free of preconceived notions" as it's data set, AI at it's current form is almost by definition, the opposite of the hopeful features this video tries to shoehorn onto it, great bit about heaters though

great!

The song from the outro sounds like John Frusciante (RHCP guitarist) solo electronic tracks.

this is awesome

GOLD

This is strange but I like it 🙂

This was brilliant

So cool.❤🧡💛💚💙💜💓

How Alan Watts describes our modern times so wonderfully :D Best video on AI on youtube!

This is a horrifying production!

With the greatest respect, the content in this video is misinformed, poorly researched and most of the energy seems to have gone into generating the images for entertainment purposes. There are many incorrect statements made or poorly compared examples that it strikes me that this video was created by AI itself based on a series of prompts that were biased from the offset. It's a real shame as there could have been a far more informative discussion here. Firstly, why wouldn't you narrate it yourself? Secondly, where exactly in this video did A.I remotely 'save' music? The examples were quickly edited by humans in order for them to sound any good. The Beach Boys example sounded like music generation from over a year or more ago, incoherent, so to suggest the likes of Udio and Suno etc are inferior is just incorrect, they are in fact far superior to the system you used as we know those platforms are also trained on existing works of known artists and their output is only as constrained as the imagination of the person typing the prompt. Another factor is that you don't take demographics into consideration, so 'mainstream music' is what it is because people actually want it that way. The argument that MacDonalds isn't gourmet food is somewhat flawed and to suggest music has hit the ceiling of creativity and now requires A.I to inject some 'punk' into it negates the incredible music that exists, much of which is a challenge to find, because it isn't mainstream, so many people don't even realise it exists. You strike me as very clever people, but you have really missed the point in so many ways with this one, even with your Epic Finale song, which, whilst possessing some wonderful compositional elements, is but a mere shadow of the works of Aphex Twin from three decades ago, this can't be ignored if your intention is to critique modern music. I would suggest you address some of the lesser known genres and educate yourselves as to what is really out there, created by humans. Lastly, trust me when I say I value your channel and I also embrace technological change, I'm currently spending a fortune on subscriptions to A.I generative sites to stay ahead of the curve, I do believe A.I will and is already contributing to the development of music composition and production, however, music doesn't need 'saving', or if it does, it needs saving from the damn public themselves and from Spotify and other 'nearly free' platforms. Big love to you all! Xx

Great title :)

I've saved Music several times in the last month. you can thank me later.

12:00 You know you can turn off the grid in Live…

love to join you, i make music, I sing, I code for many years and I've done lots of therapy to be able to collaborate :)) tech detox helps a lot with my creativity but is hard

Preach !!! Nailed it!!! I have been saying the same thing !

beautifully done,- harsh truths,,

Common Era mentioned !! (which i like ig)

22:36 "How fortunate we are to be living in such an era." 😂 Everything you said prior could be done before any 'AI'! 🤣🤦‍♂️

yes

Re: Chapter 3… So which is it? All music sounds the same or there are countless innovative artists creating original music? I think reality is being stubborn and getting in the way of you making your point 😅

AI is limited to whatever Datasets it has access to. Also, most generative AI is run on stolen data

I would've added some pitch correction to that first one

The homogeneity is technique based in mixing

Yes, Strangers will click on a click bait title!

ive given up trying to explain this to my friends

I'm like number 247. I'm lucky ya'll. I'm bout to enjoy this video ✌🏾.

This is an incredible contribution that puts the matter into perspective. The internet is full of whiners who fantasise about the end of human creativity.

Right, like the creators of this film have nothing to gain from having dirt-cheap audiovisual content on the spot (like much of the footage here itself). It’s not about making it easier and innovative, it’s about making even more profit out of a product by avoiding already underestimated services. Look what the Spotify CEO rushed to say recently after their 15 billion revenue report. It’s not the tool that’s bad, it’s how corporations will use it. Also, there’s a huge exponential difference between the tools of the past and AI, along with the world we’re living in - it’s not just another controversy simply because we’re afraid of “something new”. Artists are innovative by nature. Smart job of portraying people who are taking a stand on this as “backwards thinking haters”, though.

that content: sooooooo good. i would prefer AI running politics instead of being a temu-aphex-twin :P ... cheerz from broken germany.

That's it? That's the cutting edge new sound? That was just a crappy Venetian Snares ripoff!

Excuse me, sir. Don't insult the intelligence of people who push back on AI. A few things I want to comment on: 1. About the 'haters'. Electric guitars are instruments controlled by artists. AI is an instrument used to replace artist. Not for the sake of art. For the sake of stuffing investors pockets. 2. Life is precious because it is finite. We are amazing because we are mortal. So is art. As soon as you clone some artist. You have devalued that artist and their art. 3. The reason why there is no wide spread creativity is not because we aren't creative. It's because the ones who rise to the top are not the creatives, the ones that rise to the top are those who generate the most money. Especially if they are backed by a lot of money. If it's not popping, we won't know about it. E.g. 300 likes on a James Blake release. One of the most creative artist of my generation. 4. How much of the data that these LLM's are trained on was stolen from artists? Did they give permission. 5. 'AI' is as intelligent as a calculator. It cannot generate anything creative. For the same reason it cannot be trained on its own content. It needs to steal more and more from actual creative human beings. Why do you think Microsoft introduced Recall? Why is Adobe so hungry for their users data? 6. In the end, AI will prevail. But don't fool yourself. Music will be worse off.
