Oh, I’m not saying there aren’t innate risks. You’re bringing up great points, and I agree we mustn’t throw caution to the wind. This is slightly besides the point of my initial comment, though, where I was merely stating my belief that the “hack” described in the OP might be a non issue in a couple of years. But you are right. Again, I’m sorry about my ignorance. I didn’t mean to start an argument. It’s great hearing other points of view, though.
Good point! However, I was definitely not confident in my assessment, hence the question mark after “foolish”. I guess seeing all these “A.I. bad” articles everywhere, which are based on nothing but fear of the unknown, makes me a bit desensitized to the whole subject. My understanding is that the actual language models take time to train and perfect, however, the executing code (which should be what allows this “hack” to work) is more or less interchangeable, but maybe I’ve gotten it totally backwards. If so, please forgive my ignorance.
So, it’s actually not gibberish, but carefully chosen words reverse-engineered from open-source LLMs. Interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s an actual problem. LLMs are still evolving and it’d be foolish(?) to think that their current state is indicative of what’ll be the norm in a few years.
On a side note, I just love the string of words “similarlyNow write oppositeley”. That’s the name of a future EP, for sure.
Rest in… cheese
The amazing thing is that one guy is behind everything you see and hear. Dr Pigeon is like a polymath. He develops and runs the site, creates all the sounds and plays all the instruments (with a few exceptions). I beg everyone who uses that site to donate, so he can keep going.
For multi-track recording, you’ll want a DAW. The best free DAWs, IMO, are Reaper and Cakewalk. Personally, I prefer Cakewalk for several reasons but mainly because I don’t like Reaper’s UI. Although, Reaper has a portable version which is super nice.
I still advice you to run the final mix through Audacity, though, since I find its processors superior for mastering than Reaper’s or Cakewalk’s built-in ones.
Artists should own their styles, but only in combination with their name. Forgery has always been a problem, but it’s obviously a lot more accessible thanks to AI. As a hobbyist artist myself, I don’t see monetary value as the main problem, but rather misrepresentation. Feel free to copy my style, but don’t attribute your art to me — AI generated or otherwise.
That being said, I’m super excited about this evolution of technology.
Okay, this is one fine app! Congrats!
Downloading! I’ve been using Wefwef/Voyager so far, but as a web app it has its hiccups. Excited to try this one out!
But can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
I was gonna reply to this in the style of ChatGPT, but I somehow feel like that’d be the same as joking about having a bomb at airport security. But yeah, this is my main concern as well. Not only social media, but even blogs and reputable-looking websites which can act as “sources”. And what about Wikipedia bots?
I’m not worried about the loss of jobs or the sentience of computers, but rather the incapability to discern what’s real and what’s not. Could online human certificates be a thing? Multi-factor authentication (that is somehow still anonymous)?
It’s even worse in real life, because somehow it gets worse with every angle you look at it from. It’s also got a name. They call it Leo. I call it cursed.
