AI music is layer 3 shitcoinery.

Layer 1 - actual musicians spend years honing their craft, record music, release it to the world

Layer 2 - engineers spend years learning to program, take the music, upload it to their computers, and develop algorithms to replicate the music with variation

Layer 3 - some dude spends a few minutes typing a few instructions into the computer program built at layer 2, gets some some par music and lyrics spit out to him, he puts it up on a Platform, adds a value block, then wants you to send him sats

It really waters down the pool of real artists trying to make it in V4V.

YES. There's a few big accounts I know here that do this on the side.. and can't blame them because people like and zap it.

Not saying my stuff is that great but it sure as hell has more spirit than that garbage. I recently also found the music of nostr:nprofile1qqs9wz937cqu4rz986lkyfpx4ny38r84ku2wnfhls0z8trz0yzxl8wqpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef05rd2z2, he deserves more attention too!

I agree completely. While to some extent I like that people that have an idea and don't have the skills or means to make it can still be creative, but it unfortunately ends up like you described.

I try to dig up tracks for a weekly V4V music playlist, and the out now tab on Wavlake is getting more and more clogged with AI generated album art and music. I guess we'll see if the trend shifts back to proof of work over time.

I just tried making a playlist with LnBeats, and this is gonna get real fun

If you hit the demu button by the search bar, it’ll highlight music hosted outside of wavlake

I didn't realize LnBeats had that option, thanks! Discovering new songs can be a bit of a challenge, especially since I haven't found a good way to filter what's already out there.

By the way, thanks to your suggestion I discovered that Lara Price just put one of her songs on LnBeats! She does a few different genres, but I've been enjoying her blues albums for a while now. Fingers crossed for the rest of her music to show up!

What I like about the Demu button is it still shows everything posted in chronological order, meaning new feeds show up right there. I’ve found that this has helped make a more intimate experience interacting with the music and learning the catalog.

Good to know, thank you!
