Are you actually using an AI mastering service? Ozone’s “AI”, which I use for mastering seems to be anything but.
I’ve drawn a line at AI should not make it into the final product (I want to be able to manually tweak everything) I’m fine with whatever Ozone does when configuring itself.
He’s chosen Anthropic which is complicit in a war, whose AI is being used by the military to further military interests. Out of many more ethical models out there, why go with that one specifically?
In case this isn’t a rhetorical question, Claude is considered to be leading the pack for developer functionality. I can’t comment on the overall decision process, but it’s clear that lots of people a) don’t think about ethical concerns b) don’t prioritize them in decisions or c) align.
All we can really do is ask that people consider these things or explain their process so we can make informed decisions.
fwiw it’s worth I agree with your general points.
The OP’s observation is that there is at least one white guy that fucks with keeping the fire going. There can be as many others as you wish!
I say this as a software developer and producer/dj hobbyist with a solid understanding of AI and it’s pitfalls:
I genuinely have not had any kind of positive experience with LLMs and music writing. I hate Suno but it is at least trained on music. It can kinda approximate the target.
But asking an LLM about music production has yielded so much garbage (likely because it has been trained on garbage- the music producer influencer sphere is notoriously full of bad and anti-creative advice).
It’s generally ok for music theory, but ask for say, a sound design walkthrough and you’re gonna be left scratching your head. Ask it for arrangement advice and you’re gonna get incredibly generic advice. It hallucinates workflows and plugins between DAWs (i.e. suggesting using an Ableton plugin in FL). And like sure, I can
So, I don’t think we’ve synthesized the requirements for getting a music production teacher out of llms yet. And to be clear, I hate where ai is taking the world and that it’s forcing questions about human authorship, but I’m also not a “everything it outputs is wrong” person. Just this specific use case isn’t there yet.
