How Bad Is This AI Music? Let's Listen

Introduction

Hey everyone! You might be chuckling because I'm sporting a white hoodie from Target which I picked up in chilly San Francisco during a Thanksgiving visit to some friends. Now it's stained with ketchup from a burger outing with my buddy Dylan. Despite the mishap, it's good to be back and chat about some interesting topics, including my new Master Class and my upcoming testimony before a Senate committee on AI.

New Master Class and Cyber Monday Deals

I've got some exciting news for you. My new Master Class on arpeggios is now available. It's on sale through Cyber Monday evening at batguitar.com. Additionally, the Beat Bundle is on sale for $ 89. This bundle includes all my past courses such as Bato Ear Training, Bat Book Interactive, Quick Lessons Pro, and the Beginner Guitar Course. Don't miss out!

Testifying Before the Senate on AI

I’ll be testifying before a Congressional Senate committee on artificial intelligence, focusing on intellectual property and copyright. I've been discussing this extensively with my colleagues, as AI is increasingly important in various domains, including our own creative fields. Here at the channel, we are experimenting with a voice conversion AI from 11labs.com that even translates my voice into different languages while retaining my American accent.

One of my future goals is to offer multi-language options for my YouTube videos. We are already testing it in German, and the response has been positive. Following this, I plan to delve into Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and other languages to broaden our reach and offer better accessibility.

What happens when AI starts generating music? Soundraw is an AI platform that generates music in various genres. My colleague Aaron and I decided to test it out, and our reactions were mixed, to say the least. We found that acoustic music generated by AI still faces many struggles. However, electronic music seems to fare better. The quality wasn’t entirely professional, but it was interesting to see the advancements.

Some AI-Generated Music Experiments

  • Acoustic Music: The output was disappointing, with offbeat and unharmonic tunes.
  • Electronic Music: Surprisingly better quality and more listenable.
  • Rock Music: Again, subpar with out-of-tune guitars making it unlistenable.
  • Hip-Hop: Had some potential but was still far from perfect.
  • Ambient Music: This genre seemed to adapt better to AI generation, producing some passable tunes.

Potential Solutions

One proposal might be to prevent establishing copyrights on completely AI-generated music, thus removing economic incentives. This would keep the algorithms from being flooded with AI music. Additionally, labeling AI-created music to maintain transparency could be beneficial.

My New Arpeggio Master Class

Switching gears, my arpeggio course is designed to help you master the guitar. It involves learning arpeggios across the entire neck, incorporating Triads, seventh chords, and other variations. This method facilitates understanding and navigating the fretboard comprehensively.
