written by 50 producers, focus tested over 100 iterations, lip synced to when "performed" live, and scores a bajillion dollars.
And people hate AI for some reason. Obviously this shit will be overflowing with "Soul^TM^ "
Pop music is ai v0
Corporations are slow AI that runs on people and paper. Not my original take - it was a term even before the LLM bubble.
I don’t understand why Katy Perry. Janelle Monáe has songs about space, has talked about wanting to go to space, and is a competent musician. If you are doing this stunt, why do you want the “artist” behind E.T.?
It feels like a weird attempt to do some fake “girl power” feminism to distract from the fact that NASA is seriously purging female employees, probably going to retool Artemis to not focus on female astronauts as part of this anti-DEI program - while at the same time this kind of news story puts the reactionary chodes into overdrive, because this is presented as a “feminist” action. (And like no - this is tourism. It’s almost gross to brag about having an “all female crew” when this is just a tourist stunt. If you wanted to do a badass “first all female crew since the Soviets!” thing, then maybe show off women doing science?)
Like it’s Bezos wife, and a couple of women with industry credentials. The engineers I met who were working on Psyche would deserve that opportunity and might benefit from it - this is no different than someone “climbing Everest” on the back of a Sherpa.
Two things can be shit at the same time. Still more human input than suno ai slop
not really. I'd prefer listening to Pho Que by dadabots over any manufactured pop stuff anyday.

Maybe I joined at a bad time but this shit is probably the worst amalgamation of sounds I heard since middle school.
There is currently no pop song worse than this shit.
No, it's meant to be like that. It's mathcore mixed with saxophones and smooth jazz.
It's an aquired taste for sure, but if you like stuff like that (Shining, estradasphere, john zorn) it's cool.
EDIT : The idea is that you can make some pretty cool stuff with AI,and if you dislike that example, similar things made without AI will also be stuff you dislike.
EDIT2 :
thanks for having a bit of leniancy, honestly. Your assessment on it being horrid is a valid opinion to have.
Well I now gave shining a listen and tbh, while it isn't my jam, it sounds like music.
Pho Queue did not sound experimental to me, it was dissonant. Not in a good way, in an "I don't know what the fuck im doing" kind of way. Shining sounds good because they know what they are doing. What kind of principles they violate. An AI has no idea what these principles even are.
In the end, we won't agree here. I think that AI fundamentally lacks the one thing Music has: A miniscule amount of thought. Even the worst pop slop follows certain principles because they just work in some way.
And it will win a Grammy for "Song of the Year."
We've come a long way from that woke song "We Are The World."
