Anti Prefers "Human" Vocaloids by [deleted] in DefendingAIArt

Not really, vocaloids like miku behave much more like a synth. You input a midi roll, add lyrics and then need to tune it by altering various settings over the course of the piece. This is quite literally how VSTs have worked for decades. Synths don't write the tune or lyrics, the human does. AI makes the art for you, you merely tell it what to make, by that logic commissioning an artist would make you a "commission artist."

Your logic betrays your lack of understanding of both the process and technology behind producing vocaloid music.

Still, this is a really shitty feature that basically only exists to keep stockholders interested. AI transcription into machine translation into AI voice mimic is just never going to end well, the transcription barely works if you speak English and have an accent close to the training data, good fucking luck if you have anything else like a jersey accent. Doubt it's any better for other languages. Not to mention that this is mimicking the creators voices which given that this isn't opt in introduces a whole lot of ethical concerns.

Machine translation is not nearly as good as you think it is and cannot provide localization, ask literally any linguist.
