@Plastician It's a shame, because we could use AI better to push at those boundaries - but the way it's (mostly) built is to replicate what's come before without the injection of novel thought.
@Plastician Almosy all music ever has been built primarily on borrowing, developing, stealing and copying previous music.
The skilled artist takes these familiar pieces and makes them new.
In the other hand, mass AI platforms mathematically aggregate that stuff, and spit out the result.
@BenUFO Plex really good - but they are about to start charging for remote streaming sadly.
I'm trying out Jellyfin at the moment, which seems to be working fairly well for the same kinda stuff
@BenUFO Does make life harder for tastemakers and selectors to sift through and find the cream though. So I feel your pain.
I'm excited/worried.
Excited that we're going to have some of the best music ever made.
And worried that I'll never hear it.
@BenUFO But mostly, I feel that's worked out well. Easier access to music production has led to a wider diversity of ideas. The edges of the road have been pushed wider, at the expense of the middle of the road being busier than ever.
And that's going to keep happening. We can't stop it
Haha, love this. OTT is such a lightning rod for the whole "debate" of:
Random person: "My ears like how this music sounds! Yay"
Internet music producer wonk: "Let me explain, in painfully technical words, why your ears are wrong. 1/376"
We're 20 this year, we've decided, out with the old in with the new.

Still in shock about Christine Vaccine.
I can't say how glad I am to have known her. She was such an ally and encouragement when I was brand new to the music scene and had no idea what I was doing.
She was also modest out of all proportion to her talent.
