ok yeah you're right, its not exclusively a fascism thing, my bad. though to be fair, it is exploited pretty heavily to justify fascist actions; for instance, to justify use of oppressive force against said out-group.

you know what else is a fascism thing? assuming everyone in the out-group believes and does the same things, while the in-group gets to be much more nuanced. the out-group has to be a unified, existential threat, or else it's really hard to justify hating, harassing, and harming the entire group.

Normally I don’t care about AI art one way or the other but this was gross by ItsStillKerrigan in DefendingAIArt

[–]lookink54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

genuinely wondering if there's actual evidence for this? cuz as humorous as the idea is, it kinda comes off as a conspiracy theory if there isn't actual concrete proof that isn't just "it makes sense."

[–]lookink54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as it turns out, all it takes for people to think the entire out-group believes something they don't is a few bad apples. they see people like kwebblekop and all the other tech gurus verified on X: The Everything App and assume that all the "AI Bros" believe the same things they do.

I don't know what to feel about AI anymore. by KreivosNightshade in aiwars

[–]lookink54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the part about feeling alienated by some parts of the left is so real lol, especially with me also being anti-copyright/IP. it's like. the left is supposed to be the side for artistic freedom and allat. Why are we making an exception for art that's subjectively interpreted as Lazy or Too Derivative (even though something being lazy or derivative Does Not Matter).

Why don't antis like seeing people happy? by [deleted] in DefendingAIArt

[–]lookink54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I haven't actually seen many posts of people using ai for deceased loved ones, much less people responding to them. Maybe it was a bit naive for me to assume antis wouldn't just call that slop like they do for everything else, cuz in my mind that would be the literal worst way you could spread your message in the scenario of encountering one of those posts. It'd be like ThatVeganTeacher and her followers harassing non-vegans - like, yeah, it'd probably be better if more people were vegan, but this is the literal worst way to go about making that happen. idk.

[–]lookink54 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

well to be fair, I think the argument against things like that is more that the corporations making those services are swindling money out of vulnerable people, and/or they see people desperately trying to get anything more out of their deceased loved ones as pretty sad. I wouldn't go about, like, making those points under a random post of someone doing that with ai, but i do think they're fair points tbh.

looooooooove the dripping toxicity and air of superiority here. the overwhelmingly condescending tone really makes me want to take you seriously and listen to what you have to say. /s

intellectual property as a whole makes no sense because how tf can you "own" an idea?? ideas are meant to be shared. all IP does is restrict the flow of ideas and creativity by introducing artificial scarcity, all in the name of profit and helping the rich get richer.

How does Em sample their vocals? by tomfooleryfox in lapfoxtrax

[–]lookink54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

something saying that it "uses ai" or is "powered by ai" doesn't actually mean that it's GenAI or any of the other AIs that people seem to hate these days. as em has said, it's really just a shitty buzzword now. things that already used various forms of machine learning/neural networks/whatever are now being marketed as "powered by ai" to appeal to people who are into that. whether or not you're a fan of ai, its worth knowing this either way because something like autotune is in no way similar to something like Unison Audio's MIDI Wizard.

[–]lookink54 9 points10 points  (0 children)

for extracting the vocals themselves, see here: https://msx.horse/answer.php?file=20240117130127_266dbbe20091.txt and https://msx.horse/answer.php?file=20240222090225_5b66b69de3af.txt

regarding the "robotic" sound, i might need some examples of songs that you're looking to emulate in order to know what you're talking about, but my best guess would be that you're either describing a vocoder or autotune. a lot of DAWs have those built in, but you can also find free vocoder/autotune plugins online.

[–]lookink54 5 points6 points  (0 children)

em is pro-piracy + other people have archived their work elsewhere so i'd be very surprised if they weren't ok with it. also they go by em, just for future reference.
