What’s the difference? Why isn’t it seen as a collaboration between the person writing the prompt (using a scripting language) and the programmer/designer of the generation software and curator of the Data set?

Your down votes are basically “programmers aren’t people”

Corporate pop has never been innovative; at its most Avant Garde it takes experimental aesthetics and crams them into tin pan alley song structures.

You deserve a better reply and I will write you one later, but…

Arctopus fucking rules but this take is hot as fuck my dude.

Bro, the song skullgrid was generated by a Java program that Colin and a programmer friend of his, possibly Mike , was working on. In 200X. You’ve been rocking out to AI generated music before you even realised. Brian Eno also had some music that was meant to be generated by an automated system, and afaik, so did John cage.

Edit : https://colinmarston.bandcamp.com/album/computer-music-2003-2004

the sounds were created in Wire, a program using Jsyn written by Phil Burk, which is a java-based synthesis engine. i created the scores in JMSLscore (a java-based scoring program by Nick Didkovsky). this allowed me to access sounds i created from scratch, but organize them with a traditional musical staff.
“Fore” became the warr guitar part for the song “Skullgrid” from BTA. the first 41 seconds: beholdthearctopus.bandcamp.com/album/skullgrid

Great, it fucked up. I have heard other people complain about this when I used it as an example, but I JUST NOW heard it too. Fucking whatever. If you actually care try again a few times. If you don’t whatever.

even if you don’t personally find it to your taste,

This is the bit that pisses me off though. Corporate music has always been soulless slop, and when you point it out “oh that’s just like your opinion man”.

To get philosophical, because that’s what the topic is; mathematics, life, human conciousness are based off similar patterns. Conway’s game of life demonstrates purely mathematical cellular automata; when you go down to the chemical level, life is cellular automata with chemicals, which give way to cells, and complex structures and human beings.

Corporate pop does the same fucking shit the godless AI does. People don’t sing, they don’t give a shit, and it’s just there as another piece of slop for idiots to fucking consume. It works in a similar way to the AI; it catches onto patterns, rigid bullshit defined by someone moron that says “hey, the millenial whoop is popular this decade, cram it into the songs we’re releasing for fiscal quarter 3”. “this year’s hot rhythmn is the reggeton clave, shove that in”. Then the zillionaire that teenage girls somehow get 1k dollars in order to see goes on stage , dances a bit and DOESN’T EVEN FUCKING SING.

The AI does the same shit “Oh, the guy put in sad, make it pianos and minor chords”. But now it’s not about fucking opinion, it’s a fucking abomination that must be extinguished. “It all sounds like slop” My brother in christ, have you heard 80s pop music?

It’s the same fucking pattern.

“oh noz, the AI is putting the real musicians out of bidness” Yeah, corporate pop doesn’t do anything like that. That’s why the greatest composers of our modern era have to manage touring schedules with working real fucking jobs and making losses on their tours, becuase fuck me, my opinion is worth fucking nothing. It’s the same thing. Fucking DJ sets are walking around using synths instead of analog instruments, but that wasn’t the crime putting honest musicians out of business, no, it’s the fucking guy in india typing in a generic description into sumo ai to turn a quick buck.

How do fake bands dominate spotify when regular ones don’t? It’s easy; corporate business practices mean that the business side of music (or any endevour, let’s fucking face it) is a zillion times more important than the actual musician aspect of music.

If this sounds like I’m on the side of AI; it’s not. The point is that it’s been too late for fucking decades, acting outraged about what’s happening now because it uses new tech is blaming the statistic department for rises in heatwaves.

no one has cared since record executives have been generating AI generated tier music by hand.

What’s the fucking difference between a rich asshole comissioning music based around market resarch, to be made by some trendy female popstar, written by five different men, the singing gets autotuned, punch clock studio musicians play generic chord progressions and melodies, and it’s all straight ahead 4/4

At least with imaginative gen AI, you can get cool stuff like Pho-que

If you dislike Pho-que, you’ll probably dislike the human counterparts like Shining (Nor) or Naked City

It’s not meant to be.
I/we shit on America’s residents a lot, but there are several things to be proud of as a decent American. Start with Ben Franklin.

Yes they are. I count it as pop punk.

The tagline makes it even funnier

It was buried under things like nu-metal and emo in the late 90s (I’m fuzzy on this because of reasons).

there was stuff like the offspring and green day , them sum41 as a death throe.

source : was into 2/3

Yes, fuck milei.

But seriously, the Kirchners are a hive of scum and villainy, it’s hardly better to associate yourself with them.

all people want is , cold beer, warm pussy, and a place to sh** with a door on it. Don’t want the dog looking at you.

we’ve come a long way since the days of console exclusives with no pc ports to this. I remember feeling happy that more publishers started releasing games on PC, now it’s just expected.

I wish they would disable the custom location feature to solve this clutter.

It’s REALLY useful for travelling/migration. I made a penpal/IRL friend through there using this very feature. They should deal with it by reports and etc.

Story time!

I had some time when I had no hookup, was dealing with anxiety, weight management, and could get CBD vape juice legally. So I took long walks on the weekend, vaping the CBD and getting exercise.

Keynesians, the Chicago School of Business types, and Friedmans,

one of these is not like the others
