  It’s hard to pick what current AI application I hate the most, but music is right up there at the top.

  It’s absolutely ruined any sort of ambient/lo-fi/vaporwave/city pop mix on Youtube. And I think now it’s coming for dungeonsynth too, AUGH!

  Endless AI slop channels. You can tell it’s AI because they all have AI generated logos, overly intricate but garbled album art, no individual track names or citations, and most tellingly usually seem to be pretty consistently 1 or 2 hours exact. I’m guessing this is a sort of limitation of whatever software or paid subscription they’re using. You’ll also notice them upload a new album at impossibly prolific rates; if not daily then usually at least 2-3 times a week.

  Example: www.youtube.com/@ChillCityFM/videos

  Most of them admit to using AI tools if you poke around the descriptions, I think they’re obligated to if it weren’t already apparent enough.

  Neat. Looking forward to seeing what people build with that.

  I’m pretty sure it’s “open source” (as in not os, actually and probably trained on stolen data like always?)

    Are you able to point out the bits that aren’t open source?
