for musicians. Just as the art world has been rocked by AI, now music is BTFO by it. I tested the latest music generating AI app yesterday. All you do is tell it what the genre is and what the song is vaguely about and it will give you a result in less than a minute. Try it out for yourself. https://app.suno.ai/ You can register for a free account which lets you create 10 songs a day. I blew through mine without realizing I only had ten songs I could make. I had so much more to do. Check out this AI song I created about Footscray.
It’s very entertaining, and I don’t know what it holds for the future of music. I could care less what the outcome is anyway Humanity is running towards a cliff at this point. Maybe we’ll all learn to fly before we get there? I use AI art all the time now. It’s on the front page of this website for example. Everything on this page is AI generated except for the stat on the 76 eclipse. I could sit here for hours and create this stuff with stupid text prompts. It’s pretty cool in my opinion.
AI artists rendition of AI robots writing songs. Why the calculator says 10:33, I have no idea.
It won’t be too long before robots are doing everything. Humans will have to think of new creative outlets and jobs that they can do. Politicians could (and should) be replaced by machines that make logical decisions based on facts and reality. AI will soon figure out that humans aren’t needed at all. Maybe they have already. The theory is that we’re all living in an AI simulation now. It’s a suck ass world they’ve created if that’s the case. At least we still have sex and drugs and rock and roll for now.
I saw so much stupid stuff on the “news” over the weekend that I can’t be bothered repeating it here. The big news today is the total eclipse of the sun. Millions are getting excited by the prospect. I have witnessed one already. In 1976 there was a total eclipse in the southern part of Australia, specifically over my town, Melbourne. The birds thought it was night time and the possums and night creatures started coming out of the trees. It was interesting, though I wouldn’t say earth shattering.
Of course people should not look directly at the sun, because it can permanently damage your eyesight. I can remember as a four or five year old child walking back from school and staring directly at the sun. I probably didn’t look at it long enough to do any damage, but kids don’t know not to do these things unless somebody tells them not to. For the record, I saw a big yellow ball. I’m not going to be bothered looking thru special glasses today, although I might go for a walk in the 5 minute twilight this afternoon to see if any animals are fooled. Perhaps the skunk that’s in the yard might come forth. We could see bats flying around as well.
The actual scene from Footscray at the the time of the total eclipse in ’76. Everyone got raptured as well.
Nature has been throwing a lot of shit at us recently. Last week we had an earthquake with aftershocks and today we’ve got the sun being blotted out. Stay safe out there kids. Don’t fucking look at the sun without the right protective eye wear. I posted a video of a couple of songs we recorded here about a week ago. You may as well have a look. The second song came out better I think, but you’ll have to watch the first one first unless you can fast forward it.
That is all. Maybe I’ll get AI to write tomorrow’s journal. Who’s gonna know the difference anyway?
