AI vs people's jobs
Was there ever a concern that Miku would make singers lose their jobs?
I don't think there was....
If not, why? What does Miku (and Vocaloid technology in general) do that makes it not-a-threat and could AI become not-a-threat in a similar manner?
AI vs people's jobs
@wolf480pl@mstdn.io I think the difference is that Vocaloid just still relies on the creativity of a human. But generative AI largely replaces that.
@sigmasternchen @wolf480pl if you want a good sounding AI it requires a lot of work on the human's part, just like vocaloids. it's just that AI has a lower barrier of entry.
vocaloid is basically its own genre of music. i see AI being its own genre as well.
as a musician myself, it's hard to be mad at something that led to this.
@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club @wolf480pl@mstdn.io Totally agree. I think using AI like synthesizers is totally fine.
The interesting part is: What about stuff like Suno that almost completely removes the creativity from the music making process. Personally I don't know. And the fact I very often just can't tell if a song was AI-generated or not is kinda disturbing. ^^"
@sigmasternchen @beardalaxy
hmm so part of the problem is that some of those AI tools can have an unlimited number of voices, while Vocaloid is just a few recognizable ones?
@wolf480pl @sigmasternchen anyone can make a "vocaloid" just like anyone can train an AI on a data set. the existing vocaloids and other voicebanks have their own culture surrounding them and that can affect the decision to use a specific one.
