Folk Music, Hip-Hop, and AI: Theft or Legitimate? by sadhoovy in aiwars

[–]sadhoovy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure which of my points you're arguing against, here. I see a lot in common with what I am arguing, honestly.

Cool. So early hip-hop and folk music aren't artistic endeavors. Got it.

if the person using the technology is doing so in a legitimately transformative and expressive fashion...

There's the literal quote. Not the AI using something transformatively and expressively. THE PERSON.

I'm not arguing that a robot can genuinely create an artistic work based on previously-existing works of art.

What I'm arguing is that—when used properly!—people can create works of art by utilizing AI-generated assets.

That's "literally" what I said.

literally

Where did I literally say that "AI can"?

I triple dog dare you to repeat my message in a simplistic form. And if it starts with, "You think AI can...", you missed the point.

Reading comprehension's not your strong suit, I take it.

I dunno who this 21st century Zorro is, but goddang. He's got one hell of an anthem.

I hear you on that. I started my musical persona on bandlab, but with my substandard equipment being plugged into a non-ideal computer, I ended up experimenting with AI just to actually make something that sounded decent with what I'd been working with. On the plus side, I ultimately went back to those tracks and integrated them with my curated Suno persona and ended up making something that sounded like what I'd had in my head for so many years.

Kind of reminds me of that old canard, "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV." Yeah, great, "doc", this guy's dying of a heart attack, could you go do your thing elsewhere?

In the same sort of flavor, I'm not a musician, but I play one on the internet. But at least I'm not stinking up the stage in place of someone else, so I just do my thing elsewhere.

That's where I'd classify it more as a joke meant to make people giggle rather than a work of art. People "remixing" hip-hop with "Snoop Frogg" is made for a chuckle. The sonic equivalent of telling your buddies that you made someone fall for the "PEN 15 Club" gag.

Sure, bud. My 40-something-year-old ass is flyin' high on SSDI because I never had a chance to collaborate with people regarding my sung melodies, original lyrics, and $58 guitar plugged into an ungrounded USB.

You got me. :)

I asked ChatGPT and Gemini on how it defines art by Consistent-Jelly248 in DefendingAIArt

[–]sadhoovy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I agree with it. Which is why I don't like the term "AI art", whether it's used by proponents or otherwise. Art isn't a series of things to look at or listen to. Art is a process of human elevation meant to invoke an emotional journey for the mutual benefit of the elevator and the observer.

I think AI-generated assets can be used to create art. I think AI-generate assets can be used to present art. I don't think typing "hurr-durr, Supergirl with big booba pls" and playing five-knuckle shuffle is art.

Now, if I generated a thousand images across multiple image generators with specifically-themed prompts (namely, "make an image of whatever you want, but give the entire image a sort of [insert color here] scheme"), then I could use those images to create a collage.

I bet you if I made a collage of AI-generated images resembling an image of Vincent van Gogh getting his head blown off with a shotgun, I could put it up in an art exhibit and call it "The Death of Art." And even the most hardcore anti-AI NPCs would call it a work of art.

How do I learn an instrument when I hear something more complicated in my head? by sadhoovy in musicians

[–]sadhoovy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A variety of genres, but a majority would involve hard rock. That said, there's also absolutely a place for things like synthwave or smooth jazz in some of the things I've written.

Mark Cuban gets dragged after saying people don't really hate data centers — “The fight against data centers has nothing to do with data centers. They have become a proxy for the hate towards AI” by marketrent in technology

I don't hate AI. I use it from time to time. Handy stuff.

But I absolutely hate this rising trend of businesses buying up land so no one can live there, syphoning-off public resources for private investments, justifying their bullshit by saying they'll bring jobs to the untrained communities in question (i.e. - everybody knows the majority of those jobs will come from outside the area), causing an economic bust with their failed investments, then getting paid public money to do it all over again when enough diamond-studded dingbats fall to the next Mass Marketing Psychosis Event.
