The voice isn't AI-generated. It's likely tuned with AI but the voice is from Natalie, a Synthesizer V voicebank. The voice provider for Natalie has not been revealed, but it was recorded by a real human before AI capabilities were added (and many people who use the program prefer to tune SynthV voicebanks manually since it allows more creativity than just using AI, plus it often sounds better). One of the rules for using the program is that you can't use a different name to describe the voice bank, so Dreamtonics' lawyers might be contacting whoever made Anna Indiana.

[@KTheBoi]

SynthV catching strays sucks man. (tl;dr at the bottom) For those unfamiliar, in SynthV, ML is used to smooth out the default tuning, which is just the how high or low the pitch is at any given time. It's generally understood that the vocal synthesis technology isn't too different from vocal synths in the past (CevIO, Vocaloid, etc; you probably know Hatsune Miku). It's vocal synthesis using a voicebank created with the help of paid and consenting voice artists/singers, where for some the artists are proudly displayed and advertised. Culturally (& demographically), you might not know much about it, but vocal synths are relatively huge in Japan due to being the originator and initial market, maintaining a strong market there since the mid 2000s, where they have top voice actors/vocalists contributing to big project vocal synths/databases. To put it bluntly, SynthV is an amazing vocal synth that's wrapped in garbage new millennium 20s "AI" buzzword marketing. To put it next to colloquial genAI is incredibly misguided and confused. Here are some core differences: Technologically, at the end of the day it does not reconstruct voices like many of the unethical voice changers/text2voice "AI"; scraped and stolen data from unconsenting voice providers aside, they're fundamentally not the same technology, SynthV is a vocal synth just like Hatsune Miku or IA that use now decades old methods, it just has a layer of ML to smoothen out the default automatic vocal tuning (which again, no one who is at all familiar with vocal synths uses the default tuning wholesale, for very good reason as you can listen in the video). Ethically, the people involved are fully consenting and compensated for the work with full understanding of the technology, nothing is stolen or ripped, with very clear restrictions and terms of use (which Anna Indiana here breaks). Creatively, you're limited to the technology & techniques of vocal synthesis as a tool, using knowledge that has been honed and traded for 2 decades at this point, and specifically to note, as a vocal synth you have full control of the vocal tuning and phonemes, which Anna Indiana does NOT touch because we can literally see at 6:34 literally neither tuning nor phonemes were adjusted at all, which is consistent that the person behind Anna Indiana literally just ran a script to put in the generated MIDI notes and put in the jank ass lyrics in, pat themselves on the back, and exported it as is. tl;dr You see that wiggly line that goes across the green notes at 6:34? That's basically the only thing that is "AI" about SynthV, and literally no one who uses SynthV uses the wiggly line that's "AI" generated by SynthV wholesale because what you get is the results in the video, incredibly bland "technically correct" singing

[@yanautau5041]

The program that this person is using for the singing is called SynthesizerV AI. The program is made ethicially with hiring voice actors/singers to make the voicebanks. The AI part of this program is that it can auto generate pitch bends and create takes of "dynamic randomness", which the user can choose which take is the best for their project. But to make it sound good, you actually have to know how to use the program and have some sort of singing intuition (knowing where to put the pitchbends or vibrato). So it's clear that this person auto generated the pitchbends and didn't even try to make it sound good. THE PROBLEM HERE is that their using one of the voicebanks named Eleanor Forte and passing it off as something else. So there could be some legal issues going on idk

Again, it's very easy to make dark jokes about right-libertarian tech weirdos and their distasteful fixation on the age of consent, but if anything it's as much an indictment of the greater show business preoccupation for using and abusing very young people with anything resembling talent and charisma to turn a profit and how large language models will inevitably mimic these patterns in the most artless and blunt way imaginable.

I really don't worry too much about this type of stuff. I think the Natalia Lafourcade album that released last year is a great piece of evidence that people still like and prefer music that feels "real." The sound of the room, the conscious choices in recording things "imperfectly" made the experience feel so natural and full of life. I don't think AI will ever get to a point where it can truly understand why people like those things - cause there really isn't any formula to it. The song felt a certain way, so Natalia produced it in a way that reinforced that feeling. There are songs that people produce SUPER cleanly, because the song felt that way. It's entirely feelings based, and AI can't grapple that. I think the technology getting to that point, if it's possible at all, is SUPER far down the road.

[@DajenC]

@@Wurldz 100%, and I think that AI has a place in different art forms across the board. AI as a tool to get to a sound someone wants is ok, to me at least. It's similar to like Magic Wands in Photoshop - or those AI "removers" that uses removes something in the foreground and uses AI to continue the background. Things like that are fine, I don't mind that. But being ENTIRELY created by AI is definitely too far. So where do we draw the line? I don't know, thats for music listeners to decide. Obviously 100% AI usage is too much. I'd imagine 90% is too much too. Eventually, it'll iron itself out, and as long as creativity and an actual living artist's intent is still being expressed I don't really mind.

[@SatisfecteIIent]

there’s absolutely a formula to it. plenty of artists take advantage of a particularly popular sound within a genre; be it their own or the sound of a broader movement. look at all of reggaeton, or trap or whatever the fuck dj mustard’s sound was back in the 2010s

[@DajenC]

@@SatisfecteIIent I'm not so much arguing there isn't a formula at all to making music, I'm saying the formula isn't something an AI demonstrably can't really grasp. There's too many human elements to it. It's why AI tracks have consistently sounded so lifeless. This AI tried to copy that formula, and it failed horrifically.

She forgot to mention the bubble tea shop that betrayed her after running out of boba.

how to make an ai an espert song writer step 1: gaslight it into thinking it is

[@schwammbo]

The intro reminds me of the pre-recorded Disney ride lore presentation while you're standing in line for a 3 minute experience that wasn't worth waiting 2 hours for

[@nicholassimon1419]

It’s amazing how it can’t put words together in a sentence in even vaguely the same way a person would sing or talk

[@DJG_Studios]

One thing I noticed is that her voice never misses a note. No vibrato. Literally no one is capable of that, not even melodine changes that. It’s one of the big things that make her uncanny. No physical/analog instrument or voice hits a note perfectly and stays with it for the entire duration. A.I. don’t know how to do all that.

[@kiernanmooney6210]

Okay, I thought I was going to hate this all the way through but something about that "somebody please help..... mmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" felt like the AI was having a lucid moment of self-realization and was begging for death--- which is hilarious because not only do we not want this, but Anna Indiana doesn't want it either.

[@draguladriver]

the ai generating a line thar's just "someone please heeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeee" out of nowhere is so haunting

[@TheFurryFurby]

How can AI have access to every song in existence but still not create a good song?

[@SheriffOutlaw]

😂

[@ultimadum7785]

Anna Indiana is the anarchist we never thought we wanted, but what we needed all along. 🏴‍🅰

[@Ailun__]

This “AI” did synth v so dirty, especially when synth v is one of the few companies doing synthetic vocals in an ethical way with paid and consenting voice actors. It’s amazing they got it to sound this unnatural frankly.

[@JustAroadcone]

I Know there calling machine learning parrot programs "AI" but it's not. They just ripped off music that already exists, that program has no capacity to compose an original piece.

[@randomavenger3048]

2023: AI music sucks 2033: AI wins Melon AOTY

[@nelixholland5958]

For an infinitely better, human-made song with a similar title, check out “Betrayed by the Game” by Dance Gavin Dance. One lyric stands out to me, in regards to Anna: “remove the tricks of the trade / you’re just alone on the stage”

Now entering: The Uncanny Valley

[@DEPARTMENTOFREDUNDANCYDEPT]

This is the musical equivalent of a Thomas Kinkade painting.

[@alaskanyeti907]

This is some analog horror right here

[@Joe23590]

LLMs will always write predictable songs when the whole LLM paradigm is "predict the next word". In order for AI to write creatively, it will have to be a completely different paradigm, not GPT-4, 5, or whatever.

[@DirtaDawg420]

AI has been so consistently horrible. I don’t know how it’s still going.

[@sampipkin9561]

Venture capital

[@camipco]

At the very least, it's certain that a human decided to release this track instead of hitting the button to have it generate a new one, meaning humans are doing some level of quality control.

[@SquirrelsMyFluffgov]

When the music started to play I thought they were using a shitty royalty free song instead of the AI to avoid copyright but nopeeeeee

[@xCrossBite]

Since AI content can't be copyrighted we can all just use their music for whatever. Let's steal it all 🖤

[@Yoinky_Spoinky]

The Fantano burbing solo was unironically my favorite part of the song

[@gentlesoup_wzs]

How did we ever get to the point where AI writes "songs"

[@SheriffOutlaw]

😂

[@MediaBoy13]

2:31 had me thinking my internet was messing up

[@MegaJackpinesavage]

So much for the "new renaissance"....

[@SheriffOutlaw]

😂

[@marcgw496]

If there’s ever a time for harsh non-constructive feedback in music critique, this is it.

[@genzo454]

Every person on music Twitter: _LET'S GO_

[@maxyboy9648]

Lets hope this is as creative as AI can get

[@zackzallie8735]

Can't believe we're living in a Black Mirror episode right now.

[@prematuredgravy8033]

The worst tracks of 2023 is going to be an absolutely wild bunch. From Lil Uzi covering Chop Suey to entirely AI-generated songs, that video's going to be an absolute banger

[@rouge939]

And Colleen ballinger’s ukelele apology

[@NerdySketchesYT]

I thought ai was supposed to be intelligent and yet here I am being able to play songs by ear by myself in like 10 seconds compared to the programming of this computer

[@csurampower]

Anna will become virtually depressed from all of the bad feedback from this song, she'll start dating a too-old-for-her Garmin GPS and putting out nothing but karaoke-level Mazzy Star covers.

[@crazycatlady2744]

Face swap memes from 10 years ago look better than this thing, holy shit wtf

[@JazzyJonas]

This is the lowest possible calculable point of the uncanny valley.

[@dkidder1367]

4:02 "everyone" sounds autotuned 🤦‍♂ I thought that was for real voices

[@enigmadrath1780]

I do love how we gave AI a voice and the first thing it voices is nihilistic depression.

[@lemonmeat]

ai bros must be really easy to manipulate if they think code that can pretend to have emotion actually DOES have emotion and sentience

[@darkpandalord3844]

Humans: AI is gonna gain intelligence and end Humanity!!! 😱😱😱😱 Meanwhile, AI:

[@Daniel_Boni]

Society: We must be protected from AI at all costs! It is going to replace everything! AI: somebody please help meeeeeeeeeee

[@titovalasques]

The whole idea of having AI conceive and produce any form of art is inherently absurd when art is a means for humans to relate to each other. The only ones who think this is a good idea are corporate entities with a profit motive while cursed by the fact that they are utterly uncreative.

[@SAVANTI711]

She should CTRL + ALT F4 herself.

[@_azurejake]

All this did was put Porter Robinson's stocks up because he's able to use voice synthesizer/voicebank to a great effect can't tell me Sad Machine don't hit.

[@zzzzZZZZzzzzszaZZZ]

she really went "lets call this era purposeful pop"

[@tylerdoesstuff6834]

The notes she's hitting sound so flat, they make Squidward's playing sound actually good.

[@jahjah7940]

Why are we teaching AI to create art, weren’t we supposed to be relieved of physical tasks by robots so we can instead focus on artmaking? This is indeed the worst timeline.

[@Goonerette75]

The computer generated aspect of Anna Indiana is so creepy. As for the song, it sounds like an afterthought from an episode of Dawson's Creek. It's shite!

[@luiscarvalho7899]

My expectations were low but holy fuck...

[@key-tg1ih]

Anna Indiana is obviously a reference to Hannah Montana
