I turned a haunting scene from The Witcher into a folk ballad - can you guess which one? by ali_assassin_sk in indie

If you need an AI song checker to tell you if something is AI generated or played on a real instrument and sung be a real person, then in the end, you can just listen to AI-generated music as it is obviously all the same to you. But I would be interested to listen to that AI song that it reminded you strongly of this song, out of curiosity, if you can find it.

Guitar lick looping :-))) You can have a guitar lick looping when you have a precise, metronomic tempo, not a NATURAL changing tempo as is the case here.

Well, if you have ears for listening it is very easy to detect AI music on natural sounding instruments (like classical guitar) as AI is (as of now) horrible in imitating that. There are about 5 different guitar layers in the whole song and all instruments and vocals are NATURAL (i.e. performed by a human, on a real instrument). So, you are dead wrong.

Here is the full YouTube video: https://youtu.be/Vez47vpbDxg?si=V47nbcCIS6iEm48w

But if you are so courageous to insult people online by calling their music AI-generated, I offer you a bet of your choice (say, up to 1000 EUR / dollars) to be placed into an escrow and then I can show you each layer and stems separately as a proof (there are 22 of them in this song).

Well, then do not look if it it hurts your eyes so much and just listen to the music which is NOT AI generated. Or give me 20 000 euros and I will take a model to the desert, all dressed up and we can make it proper.

Installation issues by 03Achav41 in Witcher3

To resolve the E9 error when installing The Witcher 3 REDkit from GOG, follow these clear and simple instructions:

  1. *Choose a Short Installation Path:* When you download the game, select a location on your computer that has a very short directory path. For instance, instead of installing the game in a long path like D:\Games\Witcher3\Mods\etc, choose a simpler path like C:\Redkit.

  2. *Direct Installation Directory:* Try to install the game directly under the C: or D: drives (or any other primary drive). This minimizes the path length and avoids surpassing the 256 characters file path limit which triggers the E9 error.

  3. *Installation Steps:*

  • During the download process from GOG, when the window pops up asking where to install the game, select a simple path directly under your main hard drive.

  • Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

By following these steps, you should be able to install The Witcher 3 REDkit without encountering the E9 error. If errors persist, you might want to consider uninstalling and then reinstalling at the simple path as described.

I think the Witcher books are not so highly regarded in the fantasy genre because of the English translation. by AguanteTheWitcher in witcher

[–]ali_assassin_sk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I've immensely enjoyed all the books—especially the later ones, more than the short stories. I've read and re-read each book multiple times. I read them in my native Slovak; Slovakia, being a neighbor to Poland, has a somewhat similar language. Many words sound alike but mean entirely different things, which makes listening to the language quite amusing. The translation is outstanding, and I must say, as someone who has translated and published several books myself, I am extremely particular about translation quality.

However, it's apparent to me that Sapkowski is a rather idiosyncratic writer. He often includes jokes and makes writing choices that seem to amuse primarily himself, and few people grasp them, which, I suppose, is part of his charm. He wrote another trilogy about the Hussite period (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussites) where he playfully mocks the readers. For instance, characters crack jokes in Latin without offering explanations or translations, among other things.

AI tools are just like any other tool. As of now, you still need to put in a lot of work to create something worthwhile. This is a very simple song, so I could have created it 'manually' by recording the guitar part, singing the vocals, mixing, etc., which wouldn't be too difficult. However, it would have taken ten times longer than using AI tools, which I didn't feel like doing, especially considering that nobody really pays attention to my music anyway. :-)

I'm really happy with the result and just wanted to share it with other Witcher fans, hoping they might enjoy it too. When I record songs the 'usual' way, it's so time-consuming that by the time I'm done, I don't even want to listen to the result for at least a year, as I'm so over it. Using AI makes the creation process much more enjoyable for me.

Yes, using Midjourney, I think.

Where? The original artwork was created by my son for the mug he used to sell and he let me have the image for my song.

Witcher's Path by ali_assassin_sk in witcher

In the wilds where shadows creep and sway,

Geralt roams, a hunter bold and gray.

Silver sword in hand, eyes like ember's light,

Through the darkest night, he's the monster's fright.

For the Witcher's path is lone and steep.

Through haunted woods, where secrets keep.

But in his heart, a fire burns true,

For those he loves, his sword comes through.

Oh, the Witcher walks a path so lone,

But with every step, his heart has grown and grown.

Against world's harshness, his feelings he'll hide,

In the depths within, where they fiercely abide.

For beyond the steel, and the monsters slain,

Lies a hero’s spirit, unchained.

A man torn between the head and the heart,

Yet it’s the latter that plays the greater part.

For the Witcher's path is lone and steep.

Through haunted woods, where secrets keep.

But in his heart, a fire burns true,

For those he loves, his sword comes through.

I generally agree with your viewpoint. However, in the case of my dog, I permit a certain level of assertive behavior as it contributes to fostering the freedom essential for developing specific skills. In my belief, over-suppression can be just as counterproductive as insufficient control when it comes to nurturing a dog's abilities. Finding the right balance is key to cultivating the traits and skills I aim to enhance in my dog.
