It’s a fun service and an impressive demo, but to “make music” I need a lot more control than just entering the lyrics and describing the style. That said, there are some awesome examples there already, even with the current limitations, so I’m hopeful. Apparently so are their investors.

If you're looking for control, check out https://www.aiva.ai It's MIDI based, and provides a piano roll interface for editing.

The example song is the best instrumental I've seen generated with AI, and it isn't close.

Since you have a lot of customization though, it's hard to judge how much is the AI and how much is the human.

The example song reminds me of playing Divinity: Original Sin 2. I wonder if game soundtracks were part of training.

[kadushka]

Yes, it's part AI, part human. How it should be, in my opinion.

I wonder if you can really claim copyright on ai generated music like aiva is trying to do.

So this is just using voice synthesis and some sort of "AI" to put lyrics over a backing track? Can't imagine anything lasting or worthwhile will come out of this.

You describe the music you want in text and it generates the whole music with or without lyrics (your choice) a la stable diffusion. You can optionally supply it with your own lyrics. I don't think it counts as "creating music" yet but with inpainting and better tooling, it can probably get to where text to image generation is today in short order.

It’s great for what it is. Go to their site and give it a listen. I was even able to generate my own stuff that sounded quite good to my hobbyist musician ear. Some tracks are so good that you wouldn’t know they’re generated if you heard them on your favorite streaming service
