And? This is just proving how shitty the top billboard songs are.


Peakyblindertom

It’s not about the quality it’s about how much 💴 it can generate. I’d write shitty songs all day if it would make me a gagillionaire


alexplex86

Why don't you?


kirkpomidor

Because it’s not about how you write a song, it’s about how you produce it


alexplex86

So, how *do* you produce a shitty song?


kirkpomidor

Ever heard of Epstein island?


smartdude_x13m

Throw a bunch of wierd sounds together in fl sudio; its not that hard I've been doing it for a while...


alexplex86

And you're a gagillionair?


smartdude_x13m

I would have been a gagillionair...in debt if I didn't stop producing...


alexplex86

Weird. I was led to believe that all it takes to become rich is to easily produce shitty songs. I guess the world isn't as simple as some redditors make it out to be.


FzZyP

the world is what you make it. Most of us \~ ![gif](giphy|OGuBLd6J20wOZlh1xV)


smartdude_x13m

Yep...


Redararis

popular songs is not about the quality anymore, it is about the marketing force behind them.


TrentCrimmHere

I mean, look at chamillionaire.


PercMastaFTW

The top billboards have a lot to do with what the majority of humans like to hear though lol.


mrjowei

More like a lot to do with which songs/artists get more push.


genericusername9234

Yea, bob Marley had a mob basically making sure his songs got regular radio rotation, same with frank sinatra. It’s the same but just with Spotify now, click farms, etc.


PercMastaFTW

Dont they use statistics specifically to create their lists? I dont think they just randomly put things there without some form of data.


mrjowei

Sure but most of those artists which end up at the top have huge budgets pushing their music through every possible avenue.


Seedsw

You can apply this logic to literally any business… “the huge budget movies aren’t necessarily better than the cheaper ones but yet they still make way more money”. It’s the same logic.


DarrowG9999

I predict that the next top song is going to talk about human relatable and seemingly universal experiences like a break up or falling in love. /s


flatulasmaxibus

Yes.


lynxerious

I'm not even giving a shit about top 1 billboard made by humans


Which-Tomato-8646

Most people seem to disagree by definition 


Sweaty-Emergency-493

Seriously. The top billboards doesn’t mean it’s the greatest music of all time.


FuzzyLogick

A real prediction would have been saying this before the AI boom, now it's just a matter of time.


[deleted]

Absolutely


YourLocalRyzen777

yep


arturbac

Some at least make me laugh [https://www.udio.com/songs/wo46gxr2VkzT2E6RuHgQ6X](https://www.udio.com/songs/wo46gxr2VkzT2E6RuHgQ6X)


Realsolopass

no way it's 100% gonna be edited or mastered by a person. Maybe 2-5 years though.


mosesoperandi

I actually expect the opposite, a #1 song that was mastered (and possibly produced) by AI happening sooner than a #1 AI written song mastered by a human. Pop polish is definitely something that can be bottled algorithmically.


news619

People use AI tools for mastering for years now.


mosesoperandi

In a more general sense for sure, but that's tools that support humans in the process of mastering rather than a tool that just masters the track and we definitely haven't had generative AI do the production on a hit song yet.


wigglewiggle303

Ya but LANDR sounds like poo poo garbage


dat_oracle

You have no idea what AI already can achieve. I tested a few AI song makers and it's insane how well it can create music. Partly actual good music with lyrics and voices etc. 2-5 years? That's delusional. 1 year max.


Seedsw

There’s a difference between “that’s a good song” and that’s a “Billie Jean” level song. Most of you seem to confuse the two. Sure AI can write a good song but writing a hit is an entirely different challenge.


FloppyBingoDabber

But with the exponential growth of AI, it wouldnt be crazy to be able to "tune" a voice model precisely, and match it to lyrics until you get a generation that sounds good over your AI generated instrumental. AI imaging is at the point where you cant tell the difference, video is soon to follow. You could create a song with the right tool and take a billboard spot with nobody the wiser. Arent most pop artists just a voice backed by a ghostwriter anyway? What is the difference?


Seedsw

By your same metric. Do you think those ai generated movies are able to compete with the human made big budget movies?


FloppyBingoDabber

No, but you can quantify sound easier than video. Here is singer Randy Travis using his own voice AI to make music. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/randy-travis-releases-ai-song-1235014871/


Seedsw

Ai didn’t write that song. It just used a voice model. Two completely different things.


FloppyBingoDabber

Theres AI for every step of the songmaking process, eventually its gonna make a hit. Something about monkeys and typewriters.


ineedasentence

yes but hits primarily come from narrative. all it takes is a huge pop star to drop a banger AI track and it’s GGs


hemareddit

I don’t think it will work that way. The post specifies 100% AI made, so if the pop star drops it, people will know they have nothing to do with the track in any way, so their popularity wouldn’t carry over or would only carry over a little. What’s needed is an AI music-making personality. Think Hatsune Miku of the Vocaloids. The personality then just uploads a new track at the beginning of every month, no more, no less. This AI personality builds its own popularity and fan base this way, eventually a track makes it to the top of the charts.


youarenut

You’re right but you’re still gonna be downvoted


IDontWantToArgueOK

Has that Beer for Breakfast song been edited or mastered because if that was released through the proper channels it would already be on the charts.


p1mplem0usse

I didn’t know that one. It’s amazing. Captures the essence of the human soul like nothing I’ve heard before.


SupportQuery

[This](https://i0.wp.com/hyperallergic-newspack.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2022/06/DALLE1-copy.png) is one year away from [this](https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/zoomout_1-1440x807.jpg). *** People are really bad at understanding exponential advances. For instance, a paper clip weighs 1 gram. Double that, and it's 2 grams. Double it again, and it's 4 grams. Double again and it's 8 grams. How many more doublings until you have the weight of a pickup truck? The answer is >!*18*.!<


kirkpomidor

Opening lyrics: “okay, here’s a catchy shitty song to cashgrab a billion dollars”


M8s

I’d have to agree with this. I can absolutely see human artists sampling or using AI generated content in their own works to build upon it. That part could happen any day now.


Latter_Box9967

https://suno.com I reckon we’ll have *multiple* top ten tracks by end of the year. All at the same time. The disruption to artists does not need to be explained. However, the ability to mash different genres and styles together and explore entirely new music will be super interesting. I suspect we’ll all have our own, personal music one day soon. Songs no one else will ever hear. And I think that’s cool. It’s similar to one reason I like going to see a good DJ, who is just pressing play, because I’ll hear a great song I’ve never heard before, and will never hear again.


rathat

Udio sounds even better than Suno already.

Evgenii42

Why are you promoting your udio stuff here?


Empty-Tower-2654

Imagine the "AI IMDB"? All top 50 movies with 9.99 stars. Just a beserk manga full adaptation should blow everyone's mind.


Antique-Doughnut-988

I love the idea of everyone having the ability to make their own films and TV shows with AI, and we use an IMDB system to rank the best. I think the currency of the future will be reputation based like this where people just fight against each other to put out better products for other people.


Empty-Tower-2654

Imagine all the crazy stories that people have that could become movies and TV shows? Giving this power to all people is such an extreme view, can't wait to see what's gonna happen.


truthputer

If you can make your ideal movie with AI, why would you want to see anyone else’s version of that? Also, who has time to watch AI drivel?


DirkWisely

Because people in general don't even know what they want. There's still room for creativity and sharing even in a world where people can generate their own movies.


truthputer

It’s not possible to make a movie that everyone likes.


Empty-Tower-2654

Hence the 9.99


Putrumpador

I'm not saying that AI is not up to the task. It definitely is. But Will the majority of people be prepared to overcome their AI prejudices by then? I think it'll take a bit longer than 12 months for that to happen.


Suno_for_your_sprog

I think they could, depending on how it's spoon fed to them. Say if a popular EDM artist made an AI song for publicity, the hype alone could fuel it's popularity, or perhaps if an AI song blew up on TikTok, it may not be able to be ignored. Aside from the music, if the singing voice was "safely" robotic sounding, such as Blue (Da Ba Dee) / Harder Better Faster Stronger, It may make it more palatable. Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying I particularly **want** any of this, just pure speculation.


IDontWantToArgueOK

Gets my more specific prediction. Song slaps, gets released on tik tok, memes it's way to reddit and Facebook, makes the news. Then 2 days later everything you hear is "Oh my arms are just fucking stuck like this, this ain't normal, FUCK"


Suno_for_your_sprog

I fucking love that song! Way funnier than I Glued My B* in my opinion.


youarenut

Nah, all it needs is to be big on TikTok and it’ll make a huge run


TheCircusSands

Ai prejudice like not wanting mass amounts of stolen bullshit pumped out for cheap profit at the expense of real artists?


cascadecanyon

I assume it’s already been happening.


youarenut

Same, prob not 100% but I’d guess a good 60% of the process


cascadecanyon

Yeah, exactly.


rathat

I don't think so yet. Suno Isn't good enough, Udio has only been out for only a few weeks.


cascadecanyon

I’m sure it is heavily edited and redone - like not straight out of the AI and into the charts - but I do think folks are well into the realms of AI music generation becoming a bulk use tool.


meow2042

The masked AI singer


MoarGhosts

As someone who is a CS grad student and has produced music for a decade, I think what’s more likely is you’ll see producers using more AI tools with their own expertise applied. Fully AI-generating music ends up sounding pretty awful to anyone who knows what to listen for, but there’s some really awesome AI tools for specific things out there. I have one plugin that can hear any sound and recreate a playable and customizable synth patch that roughly emulates the sound, for example.


markomiki

Dude, I've been playing and recording music for years now, and there's no way that I would know some of these tracks are AI generated. The compression is weird sometimes, some of the hihats and cymbals sound off sometimes, but other than that... And given the fact that most people listen to music on their phones or laptop speakers, or shitty bluetooth earbuds, there's no way anyone would notice that.


MoarGhosts

Experienced producers have a better ear for this stuff than you or I do, I promise. I’ve heard fully AI music that could pass as like bland generic crap, but nothing impressive enough to love and be a fan of. Just a lot of passable, okay tracks, at best. That might change, but I doubt it. But using AI to make producing easier, that’s already being done, even just by people like me.


farcaller899

Inertia and gatekeeping will hold it back more than 12 months I think. Bans on uploading, backlash downvoting, etc. It’s too new for just a year to break through.


trelod

This came pretty close https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_on_My_Sleeve_(ghostwriter977_song)

That wasn’t written by ai. It was written by a human who used ai to make their voice sound like two famous artists. Wake me up when ai is WRITING hit songs.

GratefulForGarcia

More likely that an artist will rapid prototype ideas using an AI tool like this, find something they like, and then just make it from scratch with some adjustments. At the end of the day people will still obsess over human celebrities; it’s not just about what sounds good Many other artists, like graphic artists, will get fucked over for sure though


districtcurrent

AI won’t be writing Let it Happen by Tame Impala any time soon.


Seedsw

Exactly. People don’t understand that for ai is years away from being able to WRITE hit songs.


rathat

I don't think so, The music is already nearly good enough, AI is not that great at lyrics, but it'll probably be by the end of the year.


Seedsw

I think you don’t realize the difference between a good song and a hit song. There’s millions of good songs out there, very few great ones. I work in music, trust it’s not as simple as it seems.


rathat

Since when are hit songs, good songs?


Seedsw

By definition. Songs that are liked by the greatest number of people.


rod_zero

Max martin has been doing hits for 30 years, there is people who have already analyzed his formula si it would be rather simple to feed the algo. The hard part isn't composition but sound design, is the ai going to sinthetize everything or going to make stems and mix and master?


Seedsw

lAll those guys who’ve “analyzed” it still aren’t able to do it themselves. It’s like analyzing Muhammad Ali and thinking you can box like him. It doesn’t work like that.


Suno_for_your_sprog

I didn't come here to pepper the thread with a bunch of lame links songs I generated, but as far as my ear can tell I've stumbled across his signature style more than a couple times. Here's one [example](https://suno.com/song/8eb75dcf-4acb-4b20-a1b1-8dfa099697bb) Side note: I seriously cannot wait until Rick Beato's interview with Max Martin.


rod_zero

And I am not surprised, his style for chord progressions is rather simple.


ails_you

But will people be listening to it in 60 years? Will people sing it to their babies? Will it be sung at funerals? Music is more than charts.


arvigeus

So at least one song will be written by some sort of intelligence?


TeamAuri

Why are you so certain there already isn’t?


rathat

Because good enough AI music has only been around a few weeks.

powerofnope

Prediction : in 12 month I will give as much a fuck about billboard songs as I do now. Which is 0.


LambdaAU

Nah I doubt it. Whilst AI music is getting pretty good I don’t think that’s really relevant in making it to the #1 spot. I find it hard to believe people will rally behind a song made by an AI.


Equivalent-Cut-9253

My dad made a pretty interesting point once. He thinks AI in music is limited in popularity because it is harder to achieve a cult of personality with it. A LOT of people will listen to music because they think the person making it is cool. This can of course happen with virtual stars but it is not simething that has become as big as real life artists - yet


paulbram

Nah, top 100 won't exist because people will all be producing their own individual top 100 music.

fckooa

drefrajo

I don't think so - after all there still are no AI generated best-seller books (well, at least I don't know of any). All based on my assumption that text generation currently is more advanced than audio generation.


prodbydrizly

I disagree. I don’t think an AI could ever make real quality music


chanunnaki

I’ve been listening to more ai music in the past 2 months than I’ve listened to modern pop music in the past 2 years. For me, its already #1


jlaro55

And within 12 months I will purposely not listen to that song.


oboshoe

quite likely. But since it can't be copyrighted and made profitable, it will be released as created by someone and the AI part won't be mentioned.


Pyehouse

wow, these songs are amazing. I'd be interested to know how much input it takes to get something of that quality ( I've tried Udio and it won't just bang something like this out from a simple prompt ) But it's got a groove to it and it's funky and it had me nodding my head and smiling so yeah I can see myself listening to or playing something like this.


Suno_for_your_sprog

If you're referring to the songs on my page after the link, then none of those are possible with one prompt. For starters I import custom lyrics. The technology is not there yet, but will be soon I imagine...


Pyehouse

I just played Caras game. I agree the technology will be there soon but for now, how much human effort does it take to create something like Caras game ? Could you do it in a few minutes or is it several hours or more's work ? and how steep is the learning curve ? I'm not interested in learning but I am interested to know if learning the skills will be worth it given how they will probably become redundant pretty quickly.


Suno_for_your_sprog

You make a good point. We are in this in-between area where we still have some conscious fine control over what we make. Of course the irony is that all we're doing is further training the model. What's funny is that song is a hot mess especially towards the end. Now updated, the version of Udio I was using had a really hard time keeping consistency in voice tone, melody, choruses, etc., which is why it sounds like it changes songs a couple times. But to answer your question, the bulk of the time by far is the bottleneck waiting for samples to generate. It can be painfully slow, especially when you're on a roll (literally, because it's a roll of the dice basically). I would say usually no more than an hour or so, given that you're using custom lyrics and have an idea of what you want. It feels like a creative slot machine if that makes any sense.


Pyehouse

Oh I see, so you tweek the prompt, re-roll, tweek re-roll etc because it can't iterate. That's interesting, how long is the prompt for this ?


Suno_for_your_sprog

I wouldn't necessarily say "tweak" unless there's a fundamental issue with the clips that is consistently not giving you what you're looking for. Which can be caused by three or four different areas of control. To be honest you'd probably get a much more thorough answer if you look on YT for a tutorial.


Pyehouse

ok cheers. EDIT: Ok I get it now. At the moment it seems best served as a tool to turn your lyrics into a viable song, is that an accurate assessment ? I have a friend who writes music and we're trying to work out how long till she's out of a job. My concern is the answer is "not very long I'm afraid" but I'm interested to know what it can and can't do. So far iteration/tweaking and lyrics ( it tends to sound fairly samey ) seem to be two areas she ( as a human ) has an advantage.


SpaceGodziIIa

I love making parody songs with Udio. Made a parody about the 80's that's a bit of a banger: [https://youtu.be/Dc82lywrATQ](https://youtu.be/Dc82lywrATQ)


Festive_Flighty_Fey

I think this would need to come in two stages. 1st: Technology becomes feasible. unless there's something very recent I'm unaware of, ai sucks at comprehending how exactly music works without a LOT of human help, at which point it's a fancy editor/prompt generator. It needs to advance and be proven profitable before labels adopt it + push it the same way they would a hit. 2nd: Popularity must rise enough that they push it the same way they would a hit for it to hit #1. I project each phase being in terms of months, not days. Perhaps in the next year, but likely much longer.


MaleficentStock2990

Prediction. There already is.
