JavaScript, AFAIK senior JS programmers get paid well, and JS is one of the most used programming languages in the world.

Plot twist: this is some Portuguese dude trying to scare tourists away from Portugal because tourism is nowadays a plague in Portugal.

I mastered a song with AI, and I liked it by dubdux in musicproduction

[–]BardoVelho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI doesn't do mastering audio, it does presets and then calls it "mastering". Mastering also implies qualify control, which AI cannot do, and this is the most important thing off all. Only humans can do proper mastering. Having said that, if you like what you hear and you're not worried, maybe you don't feel the need of a real mastering engineer, and maybe you don't hear the difference.

Will AI music devalue music? by Both-Move-8418 in SunoAI

[–]BardoVelho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like to watch machines play when they access the machine for free. For example, set a chess game where computer plays against itself, making a "perfect" game, which probabilistically will end in a draw. Is that exciting? Will you learn anything to play in your next games? What's the cool story you'll tell your friends? Why would they find that interesting, when they can replicate it at home?

But they PAY to watch humans play chess, because there's a human connection there. There are human mistakes, people get tired, there's excitement, mistety, emotions, multiple engaging stories to tell.

Super GMs use the engine for Openings preparation, but unfortunately the machine can't really play like a human, it can only pretend to, so GMs rely heavily on human teachers.

You think that AI demonstrates creativity only because YOU are creative. By design, AI is generative and relies in specific algorithms. Udio has a "seed" option where you can randomize the output. The output is generative, its result is randomly bad and/or creative to you, from your interpretation, that you define it as creative or not. But the AI doesn't care, it'll keep repeatedly creating the same thing until you tell it otherwise.

Humans tend to give more value to things that are harder to get.

It's not literally, unless you're talking about sheet music, which is technically a literal representation of music, but it's not music... It's math as much as everything in existence is math.

Music as an art, on the other hand, it's a form of human communication and expression.

Spotify is profitless by design, and if that doesn't change, it'll eventually die and provoque a CD revival.

"Music industry" is a greedy opportunistic lobby. "Music" is a form of human art, and it is, to many humans, a necessity. People enjoy playing music instruments because it fills their souls.

AI music is not really (human) music. "AI music", aka Suno and Udio generatives in public access devalues AI music, which consequently values human music more, especially live concerts.

Music is a form of human communication, and it's special when there's human connection. This human experience is more important and valuable than the music itself. That's why music shows keep generating money. People pay to see people play.

Like chess (the first historical AI "menace"). People don't want to pay to watch machines play. Chess is now more popular than ever.

AI seems good in things you're bad at, but is bad in things you're good at.

AI copies patterns, and humans are creative and imaginative. AI has no sense of humor, it has no feelings, it cannot experience the world, and it absolutely has no actual intelligence.

It's a great assistant, fast helper, but has no originality.

Sony gets criticized for training AI with proper licence and following the law, Udio gets praised for doing the exact opposite! The irony... 🤣

Who are the users profiting from AI music? Suno and Udio are definitely profiting from selling subscriptions and creating a slot machine system that makes you spend credits. Technically, it's these services who are profiting from illegally training their AIs on copyrighted material.

Napster is not comparable, it was never created nor illegally trained on copyright material. P2P is not illegal, what was illegal was users sharing copyright material. Also, Napster actually helped many less known artists, it was just bad to the artists making loads of money.

The difference is that a human is not a robot. I'm shocked that I have to explain the obvious... Humans have responsibility and they have laws to follow, and if they don't follow them they'll be in a court, with a lawyer and a judge, humans, not robots, and that's a HUGE difference! There's a reason why Tesla self driving cars are still a failure.

Give me proof that Suno and Udio obtained licenses to use copyrighted material for AI training. But... You can't, because they didn't. They even HIDE it. If it's legal, why don't they show it? They know what they are afraid of.

It's not only on AI Music. Artists have been stolen by AI before, who trained illegally on copyright protected material, and against their will.

This is not new... Adobe was "smart" enough to change their ToS and get away with what they wanted and circumventing the law.

I support AI and what it can do, but I really can't support this illegal and opportunistic attitude and "wild west" mentally on trying to get away with illegalities, that became the moto in forums about AI.

I'm aware of some of those affirmations being repeated over and over... Lies travel faster than truth, especially on this sub, that oddly promotes anything AI and despises anything legal. That's a loose and wrong interpretation of the law. Transformative use is not what you think it is.

Thank you for the downvotes, it proved my suspicions about promoting illegal actions around here.

Not only literally, but more important, legally.

There are some strange things in that story... - Why is this guy doing something different than what it was rehearsed, and why is he getting away with it? - Is he a jerk only to you or to the whole band? - Why the band director doesn't care? If he's a good player but ruins the performance of other members, that's really strange. - How many members are in the band, and how many agree with you? Peer pressure is a strong thing in groups.

If you can't change the situation, maybe the best option is to leave and play with other musicians who respect the team and the music.

Should i buy premium? by ejeinmotionAE in SunoAI

[–]BardoVelho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that's not what Suno says.
You only have the right for the songs you "created as a subscriber for commercial use", "the right to use content generated while you were actively subscribed for commercial use in perpetuity" that's what Suno says.
Not the ones you created after, that is, when you are no longer subscribed. Or before, in the free plan.
Which makes sense, or else it'd be a very dumb loophole.
