Show HN: I've Created an AI Monster (vexsound.com)

Last week, I came across sunoAI on X. I noticed many people were having fun with it, creating quirky tracks to share on Twitter. Intrigued, I tried it out and was impressed by the quality of the results.

As part of my journey in building 10 startups, I am always on the lookout for new ideas and sources of inspiration. Could I establish a music label using this technology? The seed of an idea was planted last week, and now, just one week later, we are officially live on all major streaming platforms.

Lars, AI-driven music label, you ask?

Well, let’s say 90%.

The songs are entirely AI-generated, including the sound mastering, with artwork created using Midjourney and artist names and website content crafted by chatGPT. Music videos were produced using tuneform, and even certain web components were developed with GitHub Copilot. Despite all this, 10% of human interaction was still necessary to bring it all together.

What comes next?

I have a plethora of songs lined up. My plan is to release a single every day, culminating in the launch of our first EP with five tracks over the weekend. Let's see if this strategy can attract a dedicated audience of listeners. If successful, my next step will be to introduce another artist specializing in a different genre.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this experiment.

Your feedback on the music would be greatly appreciated.

Lars

What is the point of creating a startup aimed at harming an industry? Why? Out of all the startup ideas that exist, with all the problems humans are currently facing, your idea is to play amateur artist, without having a shred of skill in that area, and to call that a startup? Let me tell you something, if you're not a musician, you can use all the tools you want, your music will never have soul, it will be empty and sound like everything else. Now, I'm telling you this straight, I hope this startup fails and leads you to take a different path, one that's useful to society, that is not aimed at creating chaos in an already fragile industry. Good luck with your other startups.
Haha - Yes, you are right. I really don't care if it fails; it's just a fun side project. Why so angry? Are you hungry?
