The matter has already been alluded to in this thread, but subjective judgments serve as the bedrock issue when it comes to deciding what is good and what is bad in the creative arts. I spent thirty years making a pretty good living at a couple of Hollywood movie studios reading literary material and passing judgments as to what's good (i.e., worth spending money on), and what ain't good enough (i.e., not worth spending money on). Sure, objective analysis is fine and dandy, but if you don't feel it in your gut, you give the material the proverbial "Pasadena." I remember getting five second long calls from the President of the Studio. The guy would growl, "Is it good?" I'd answer "yes" or "no." Then, "Clack." Phone call ended.
AI and the future of music
Last night’s 60 minutes featured a deep look at Google’s new AI program BARD. Frightening, yet compelling.
It got me thinking, if their AI has already read everything on the internet, and can create verse, stories, etc in seconds…What could it do for music?
‘Hey , BARD create a new Beatles like song from the Rubber Soul era, but have Paul Rodgers and Jack Bruce singing”.
“Hey BARD, create a song that will melt the heart of my new girlfriend”.
your ideas?

You listen to it if you like. Ref new Beatles songs, we've been there with The Rutles. The brilliant parodies, all written by Neil Innes, were:

AI will at some time be able to create a design from a plagiarised base info, that will be very closely related to the base info, but enough to not infringe on any relevant laws in place. AI Artwork is regularly produced from a base material protected by Copywrite. I have recently made a decision, that most of my experience in Audio and Music Replays are technology dependent, but this is a technology I will be in pursuit of for this interest. For my other Interest Photography, Maybe it will be the next generation of tech' to assist with getting the shot. I already have a Camera Body that auto-captures images when triggered by movement coming into the frame. |
+3 @baylinor
I love this. It demonstrates the very point it's making. Baylinor had to think through the issue -- and THAT, to me, is the indispensable difference in everything. "Output" is a machine term; it only points to one phase of a sequence that begins with a human need, put in terms of a question. I'd modify the old saying, "The only way out is through" as "The only way through is through." To quote one of my favorite philosophers: the nectar is in the journey. |
