Sweet Jesus. You realise this is the mental equivalent of stuffing your stomach full of junkfood and soda every day?

This is a mainstream break up song: https://youtu.be/ekzHIouo8Q4

This is a vocaloid break up song: https://youtu.be/9pQR4a5sisE

The first isn't bad by any means. There's a million break up songs and that's one of the best sad ones. Most are just... angry? Blaming? Empowering? They work fine. They sell records. Many have have a billion views.

But the second one, even with the clunky translation, strikes somewhere deeper. It's written by someone who had enough time ruminating on a break up. The ending hits a little harder, because break up songs are about endings.

Both are sincere, but the first feels more formulaic. I'm inclined to think the first one is the soda.

I feel Suno leans towards this group of songwriters and poets who have something to say. Sora doesn't.

Vocaloids are hardly similar to fully AI-generated songs. Vocaloids are still human controlled.

And also that VOCALOID uses "traditional" signal processing techniques as opposed to generative deep learning techniques.

As opposed to the kardashians and real house wives and Chappell Roan?

No, the whole horseshit belongs together of course. Just that the AI slop is the logical culmination of the dumbed down pop-culture of the last 15ish years or so.

That doesn't sound meaningfully different from what people are already doing on Instagram and TikTok all day.

Absolutely correct and my comment is by no means dedicated just strictly to the AI slop.

For a lot of people music is a focus aid, not the object of contemplation.
