There is nothing that makes me sadder than seeing more and more things related to music and art being made with AI just to make money. There is no love for art, no passion, no humanity in that. No one is going to convince me otherwise.

Spotify has been overrun with jazz ai junk to the point where it's made me so paranoid that I can't listen to anything new to me without doing a big research session to make sure the band is actually real. On the plus side I've found a few artists from the 50s I never knew before, so all the homework paid off.

[@northstarjakobs]

If you're looking for more jazz you might not have heard before, I can't recommend Yoko Kanno/Seatbelts highly enough. She composes in many different genres, but most of her compositions have at least some influence from jazz. The Cowboy Bebop soundtrack is what she's most known for, and it's a great listen, whether you're listening to it actively or putting it on in the background. If you look up the soundtrack for Cowboy Bebop you'll be able to find playlists putting all the different albums used in the anime together in one place. Just writing this comment is making me want to listen to Tank! for the umpteenth time so I'm gonna go do that lol

@@Ron-eg9kb Even that 5% is generous. Especially since the purpose of AI is clearly meant to automated the generation of culture and human creativity so it can finally be bottlenecked into the hands of the people in power. We were getting to ocomfortable with being informed and learning on the net and getting too uppity with our opinions. Turn that brain off, become washed in the endless generation. Become mallable. Oh...you made something...cute...but we made machines better than you. Your creativity means nothing. That is clearly the end intent and its the consistent anger and message you get from AI supporters too. Anyone who sees the absolute frothing rage they show to artist and how they are "obsolete" knows that. and also how most of their argument only utilize artists and their rights for the purpose of trying to obsolete them. They'll cry about people "stealing" images for human transformative work and commitment - say making a cyoa out of images - but then won't apply that same logic to literally feeding all that work and trying to claim, in many cases, people styles through a automated machine so they can remove that person from the equation entirely in the same ballpark. Because they think they're revealing humanist logic to them, when all they're showing is they aren't concerned at all. The simple end argument is this: if these machines are so good. Why can't they enjoy them in peace. They reject artists, human culture nad idea interaction. So why can't they use these "just as good" and "can't tell the difference" generators in their own room. Locked away with a server, with bots and auto-generators making their perfect curated net. It's not enough they reject artist, they want the world to reject humanity too.

Anything generated with AI should be legally required to be disclosed. Not just in the description, it should be labeled in the content itself. On the photo, on the video, in the text itself. Edit: It appears this has triggered people and they are slinging words they don't know what they mean. 😂 This has already infiltrated education and the teachers can't screen for this. A lot of the AI detecting tools are wrong with an awfully high percentage. There are also uneducated, elderly people, people with disabilities, and people who just don't care who won't be able to identify if the picture, music, video, or words they are reading are machine generated or written by AI. This will only lead to even more massive amounts of disinformation. We are already dealing with untenable amounts of disinformation and combating it takes far more resources than just spewing nonsense. This is already a big problem and identifying things created by machines is so minor in comparison to just outright banning the use of AI. We already have rules for identifying when you are being paid to speak about a product or service. This isn't that much of a stretch to say, label your AI content.

[@bowsersex]

Not really a good comparison, especially when we're talking about jazz and lo-fi, genres that interpolate and sample other songs very very often. Essays and music are very different, nobody "makes a cover" of a previous well known essay for example. I don't wanna listen to AI generated music either personally, especially when it's not disclosed, but I wish people would stop using this "plagiarism" argument. I don't think it helps artists in most artforms, it ends up justifying frivolous copyright lawsuits instead.

I make lofi and spend a lot of time doing so, seeing this kinda stuff is just kinda soul crushing and honestly has made me pursue other genres. I'll always make music but making lofi kinda felt like home, now people only see what I make as 'background music' at best when I've been studying for years about jazz progressions, getting swing and good timing on my drums, sampling with intention etc. For people who make this kind of music a LOT goes into it, sad really.

[@atpeacewithnotknowing]

I actually noticed a similar issue recently with electroswing music. I like having something playing in the background while I work, and I don’t always pay attention closely when KZbin autoplays one of their recommendations. But I suddenly noticed that all of the music was weirdly similar and just a bit ‘off,’ and when I checked the description I saw it was indeed AI music (at least the person who uploaded it bothered to add that information). One of the things I really dislike about the proliferation of generative AI is the way it’s eroding my trust in just about everything. Books, music, artwork, etc. I can no longer feel confident it was made by a human who cared about what they were doing. Instead, so many things are being pumped out with as little effort as possible for the sake of making some quick money.

[@nobody-nk8pd]

The thing you said about losing trust, yeah. I feel the same. I noticed that I don't really want to engage with stuff made after 2022 altogether, and even when I come across new stuff that is good, I can't really like it because I cannot trust it, even when it is from a trusted source. It sucks. Things that were meant to be enjoyable are now just one more reason for paranoya.

Keep in mind that mainstream LoFi was already starting to get stuck in this cycle by the early 2020s pre AI era, but at least the filter of human production was still present and that some promising producer could still rise from this environment to break the mold and either make a name for themselves or even evolve the genre. Now AI cranks the firehose up to a 20 doing the exact same thing but with even less creativity. If you thought the genre was oversaturated before, now it's completely bloated and ready to burst, which hurts not only aspiring artists but existing ones as well. The rate of increase in the number of artists will severely outpace any sort of gains (if any) the field could experience when the name of the game is recycling the same sound that sounds vaguely familiar to an established classic.

That’s exactly what I was expecting when I clicked on it. But when I listened, I was like, “oh, never mind, this ain’t what I’m looking for.” They even included a great gatsby quote and everything, giving the music a bit of a 20s swing feel would be cool.

[@Aubriel]

I used to make Lo-Fi music. Have since moved on to other genres, but it's just so disheartening to see music that is not even made by humans get more clicks than the original songs that take a lot of love and care to create :/ Even not theoretically sound music a beginner makes has more worth than AI slop

[@Angelica-is3en]

I felt so cheated when I realized these videos were AI!! I've actually been focusing a lot more on writing in my personal time and I loved the aesthetic and cohesion of "what is ?" when it came across my youtube home page, but once I clicked on their channel and realized they were uploading like multiple times a week alarm bells started going off but I didn't want to believe it because I felt so calm and productive listening to it. I can't run from it anymore, I've quit listening to it and I feel so bad I didn't recognise it before clicking on and giving them views. my latest lofi playlist will come up if you search "frutiger aero mii music" which as far as I'm aware is made by a great independent creator with their own 3D blender animation all through the video, and the official Hatsune Miku channel's "Study with Miku" series with lofi versions of different popular vocaloid songs with beautiful artwork as well!! wish I would have come across these channels sooner instead of some AI 😢

this isn't only a problem for lo-fi, it's one in many instrumental genres of music. here on youtube i've noticed it with "fantasy music" and other soundtrack-ish themed playlists as well. on spotify, i've seen it with a lot of other electronic genres. easiest way to spot it on youtube is a) the frequency of uploads and b) if it's 5 tracks looped for 1-2hrs; spotify is a bit harder to check but frequency of upload and generic looking album art are often still reliable red flags

[@li_celly]

I remembered loving Nujabes. before Lo-fi became popular. It's always been my alltime favorite since Champloo days. It wasn't until circa 2015 people started putting lo-fi up around the same time City Pop and Vaporwave came around. This was the trend at the time, but lo-fi was a derivative of those trends (evven though Nujabes was made a decade before, it wasn't popularized until around 2015). Then around late 2015/early 2016, I remember when Lo-fi girl came out. That's was when it got REALLY popular. Man, these were good college days for me.

[@x3ll3nmusic]

@kaydwessie296 Even with autism motor skills, you should be able to at least produce music digitally (like I do), but you would likely need some equipments to accomodate for it. I think people would be fine with you generating music and releasing it as long as there's enough "human input", like writing the melodies for example, or starting from something AI-generated and reinterpreting it. If you're a singer however, people would probably be chill with it most of the times (unless they are AI-haterd) because the focus would be on yourself rather than the backing audio.

The thing about AI music is that it isn't even good. Aside from being mind-numbingly repetitive and often ending abruptly with no resolution, every track Suno makes has the same tinny quality to the audio. It's impossible not to notice once you've heard enough of it. There used to be a time where KZbin would occasionally recommend me an EDM track with like 100 views and I've stumbled across a few really talented artists that way. Now whenever a video like that shows up in my feed I just block the channel without even listening because 99.99% of the time it's AI and I know if I click it KZbin will just start sending me more of it.

This is heartbreaking at best... A few months ago i started posting my reggae instrumentals and they became quite popular in a short amount of time... I had the occasional comment dismissing my music as A.I. which at first was really depressing. I've learned that some people truly can't tell the difference and I guess its not really their fault. What truly gets to me is that now there are hundreds of channels that are making similar reggae instrumentals. They've copied my art, my titles, my descriptions, etc all while pumping out 100 times more music than i ever could. Now if you try to search reggae instrumentals on YT you are flooded with A.I channels which makes it harder to actually find real musicians making human music. It seems KZbin is now valuing quantity over quality :(

I recently ran into a flood of AI music while looking for compilations of classic Halloween/Fall music. The amount of AI generated stuff is flooding out the real stuff. And for me, if I want AI generated music, it's already easy to access. The people who use the tech but take credit for the output feel justified in posting tons and tons of it, until the algorithm only wants to give that.

[@cowgba]

I'm hopeful that all the AI music channels will eventually cannibalize each other. They all think they can become the next Lofi Girl, but when 10,000 channels are all trying to do the same thing while churning out the same shitty AI-generated music, there's nothing to make any of them stand out from the rest. If they're lazy enough to try to get rich with AI music channels, I'm betting they're also lazy enough to stop putting in even the bare minimum effort of posting videos once they realize they can't get enough viewership to make money off of it.
