Stable Diffusion for broke people?
  • There are a few.

    Draw things https://drawthings.ai

    Diffusionbee https://diffusionbee.com

    Are apps available on macos. Not sure about other platforms.

    Other than that a more complex approach is installing automatic1111 which is a web interface that runs locally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqXpAKVQDNU

    Just had a little look at ^ this guy's YouTube channel and he has guides to install stuff on windows too if that's needed for ya.

    Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me)
  • Perhaps you already know this but while the simple minds version isn't a cover, they didn't write it.

    It was written for them by a composer and a producer pair.

    AI is being used to give dead, missing kids a voice they didn’t ask for
  • This is inarguably horrible but the use of AI seems irrelevant. You could make this same thing with any animation tool. It's the idea that's disgusting.

    Do you think AI is mentioned because it makes the article seem more up to the minute and in keeping with current tech trends?

    "A man drew a disgusting picture of a horrible event using pencils and paper this week."

    "Pencils and paper are so awful."

    x last night
  • Correct. Except, the poor won't be the new rich because there are more poor than rich. Many, many more. Hence the idea that the way things currently are is unfair.

    Take the money from the rich, give it to the poor and we will have something slightly closer to economic equality.

    Songs you later found out were covers.
  • Just "Wings." No "the." Although maybe Paul will see this and it'll annoy him a little. In which case, it's "Paul MacHeartnay and the Wings."

    When AI Is Making Music, Where Do the Humans Fit In?
  • I think it's most likely to take the role of the commercial songwriters that write formulaic pop. The people that team up with folks like Ed Sheeran and Lewis Capaldi to squeeze an album out of them in time to fulfill their contracts.

    The formulaic pop won't be much different. The pop stars will be much the same with up to date fashion. The people at the label will make more money because there will be fewer people to pay.

    Writing music as a commercial venture is already pretty icky in my mind. It's sort of the artistic equivalent of learning pickup lines and using them on people rather than having an interesting conversation.

    Music as art won't die but jobs as commercial composers and songwriters will dwindle.
