    The fact that it can generate singing is incredible, but I have to be honest, when I hear this rendition of Lose Yourself https://soundcloud.com/openai_audio/jukebox-905633287 I can't do anything else but laugh. It's still impressive that it has made that but still!

      I’ve listened to a lot of experimental electronic music, if you told me that was a remix by Autechre or someone I would 100% believe you

    I've been jaded by most of the AI advances, but hearing this is I think one of the first times I went "oh woooow". It's struggling, we can agree, to render coherent pieces but if that's just the start then I'm really impressed.

    I certainly applaud the effort. The uncurated list (click "explore all samples") is very clearly hit-or-miss, but when it hits, it's quite impressive. Curated selections could probably easily be...

    I certainly applaud the effort. The uncurated list (click "explore all samples") is very clearly hit-or-miss, but when it hits, it's quite impressive. Curated selections could probably easily be playable at low volume in an elevator or in a supermarket or in a hotel lobby, and very few would notice anything amiss.

    Huh, The Eagles but lyrically fucked up and eventually playing metal. Weird. Edit: Or this one. Mostly the lyrics. Edit: This one is quite nice as well. Pretty close to the original, too!

      The second one is kinda creepy. The AI is self-aware already, and apparently possessed by David Bowie.

          Ah damn, so depending on what "co-written" means (which they don't seem to specify anywhere I could find) it may mean that the lyrics aren't entirely computer generated... that makes it a little...

          All the lyrics below have been co-written by a language model and OpenAI researchers.

          Ah damn, so depending on what "co-written" means (which they don't seem to specify anywhere I could find) it may mean that the lyrics aren't entirely computer generated... that makes it a little less spooky. :(

    AI Weirdness made a blog post about this, with multiple covers of Baby Shark. The metal one the author made herself is inspired.
