ANECDOTE

AI Music Tells

  • AI-Generated Music: AI music generators, like Suno or Udio, have noticeable tells, much like AI image generators.
  • Details: These tells might become desirable in the future, similar to how people appreciate the imperfections of older technologies. One example is how Suno and Udio are trained on low-quality MP3s, resulting in a grainy, hissy sound reminiscent of AM radio or early digital music formats.
  • Horns Analogy: A key aspect of real music lies in its imperfections. For instance, the beauty of a horn section comes from the slight variations in timing and pitch among the different horns.
  • Details: This aspect is currently challenging for AI music generators to replicate effectively, as they tend to prioritize perfect synchronization and pitch.
