AI (Artificial Intelligence) Creators Club!

I've done work with hardware accelerators both as ASIC and DSP implementations. But my last work was in 2020 and do not know know about AI assisted art. Fundamentally I do not dig it's use for that. I like it for medicine, big data, most engineering problems but not creative pursuits like art or music.

Good luck. I'll observe on the side

i signed up with AI Art Generator: Create Stunning AI Art and messed with it some. i used a few of the pics that i liked (getting used to the prompt protocols) to render some image-to-video in runway Runway

using the two in conjunction will take some thought. :) i'm still working on the mi sombrero tune that i posted in @RustfeatherBass' other thread. it's a lot of information all at once! :woot:
 
I will be following this thread and hope to gain some info on the current tools available to us average Users. You know the AI available behind closed doors makes the stuff we have available look like a DOS program!

I did have an interesting interaction with ChatGPT the other day. I was asking it about a College Census form Uncle Sam wanted me to fill out. I asked ChatGPT if it was mandatory to fill out this 20 page form that was asking me all kinds of personal questions such as income, Race, Sex, How I identify, etc. nothing related to College.

Anyway it gave me some gobbly gook answers so I pushed it a little more and it finally told me it didn't want to discuss the topic anymore!

I finally found out on my own search the College Census form was voluntary.

That’s really interesting! It’s a bit of a mystery what guardrails are being programmed into these things.

I posted a thread a while back asking if anyone knew of tools that could aid in composing, specifically if I have let's say 15-20 riffs or musical bits, it could assemble them into combinations in interesting ways. My ideal output would be something like "riff 20 could be a verse and goes well with riff 13 as a chorus, but riff 20 must slowed down by 12 bpm and changed from Bb to G." I wouldn't expect a complete song but just an aid to idea generation. No responses yet that such a thing exists, which I doubt since it would be pretty complex. I'll give a year or two...

I also used an AI lyric generator just for kicks, and although I was not happy with any of the complete final products it generated, it did generate some new ideas, phrases, and "lyrical bits" that were interesting and could be rearranged, massaged, etc. into something I did like. So for me it was again a sort of prompt generator.

This fellow seems to have unearthed and reviewed some apps that might kind of do what you are looking for. Not sure how sophisticated they are, but its interesting!

EDIT: I re-read your post and realized these tools don't do what you are asking. What a cool idea though. I wonder if anyone is working on that.

How can you call yourself a “creator” when AI is doing the creating for you?

I agree...the actual idea of "creating" is going to be obliterated by AI just like Autotune has ruined a lot of vocals and singers. I hate Autotune but it can be a useful tool to fix minor mistakes.
Even some great Singers use it now because they're afraid their song won't be played if it sounds too human.

I think the irony is that theres a lot of musicians all over the world claiming to be AI creators that are also the first ones to throw rocks at rap, nu RnB, and nu Pop as being all talentless, computer/producer auto-tuned garbage..........

Give my regards to Captain Dunsel, who also plays bass...........

:laugh: that's funny. reminds me of my first wife.

yeah, that's a tough one. some of those things would be natural 'moves' for an arranger/composer, i.e., things we'd do in our head (and test, maybe, on a piano or in a DAW).

but i think the manipulation of "riffs or musical bits" is what a lot of folks use their DAW for --- and then there are the ways midi "bits" can work like that, or to that end...but those manipulations still require some human forethought.
 
Generating high-quality art using AI requires as much creative thinking as writing prose. Add to that, you need to know how to use the correct prompts and some basic machine language, which is often dependant on the particular tool that you’re using. The way you deal with prompts in Stable Diffusion is different than the way you deal with prompts in Dall-E.

I suggest you do some reading up on the topic if you want to participate in the conversation. If you’re just not into it, feel free to hit up another thread that fits more to your interests

But does the user need to understand light sources, contrast, brush or pencil thickness, blur or smudge shading, cross hatch, etc and all the criteria most professional graphics artists know and - most important - actually have graphic art talent? I see the merit in AI graphics to help musicians create graphics for their projects but I don't want to hear any complaints from musicians that utilize AI art when graphic artists use AI to compose music for their multimedia projects.....I think AI is that step-too-far in any of the arts but I'm also old and crotchety
