AI and Art kinda wondering
So why isn't there a thing where you can type like "new Taylor Swift song about eating fish; instruments: vocals, vibraphone, and bagpipes" and get a pretty convincing mp3?
I'm reasonably sure that all the tech exists?
My current half-serious theory is that the record companies wrote the AI companies to let them know that if they tried that, they'd be sued into oblivion.

@ceoln I would be surprised if open AI isn't working on this as we speak (yes, even on Sunday). And the generated songs will be performed by groups akin to Gorillaz.
The creator of the right AI would own all the creative cycle and profit, profit, profit...

Could be! They had that one "jukebox" Weblog entry back in early 2020, but I don't remember anything since. If they were to release something really good that was based on training on lots of tracks from major record labels, I'd bet there would be a major copyright lawsuit or three.
But maybe that's not really what's happening, I don't know. :)

For sure. :) I've weblogged considerably about this, and pretty much came to the conclusion that there's no telling what (for instance) the US copyright office / courts will do, because the laws and precedents are so messy! Happy to discuss more, also.

@ceoln I believe talking about copyright of AI generated art is worth of a whole new thread...
