I mostly listen to AI-generated music. 8 out of 10 of my top listens in the last 180 days are AI-generated.

I gradually went from various genres -> mostly nerdcore -> mostly AI nerdcore.

EDIT: Updated link to the most listened songs in the past 180 days. The songs are not generated by me.

I don't like most AI music I've heard, but you shouldn't be voted down for expressing a preference.

I do sometimes turn on ambient noise, some of it is randomized and musical (like '88 keys' at mynoise.net). Not AI, just algorithmic, but just because there's no human composer doesn't mean it MUST be condemned.

I feel like now, you can't even tell! I was in an uber drive where the driver had this incredible playlist of Brazilian bossa nova. It was sublime and some of the best tracks I ever heard. He even said he loves the singer but cannot find their name anywhere. It turns out it's a youtube playlist that is fully AI generated and genuinely some of the best bossa nova you can imagine. I still hear that playlist daily tbh. A legitimate, real Brazilian was vibing to a playlist he didn't even know was AI generated...

It may not be traditionally "composed" but there was a lot of human thought that went into creating the loops and balancing how they play off against each other.

It's aleatoric music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleatoric_music

Why?

[testycool]

It sounds great to me. AI-generated music is pretty popular with Warhammer 40k lore as well.

Also I tend to listen to songs for a few days, during which time I feel they're the best thing ever, which also helps with momentum during work.

After a few days I have to find other songs. Since AI music started getting more traction it's been way easier to find great songs.

I understand the criticisms of AI music, but that doesn't take away from the fact that for me and a growing number of people it sounds good.

[skeeter2020]

If you think that AI generated beige music is nerdcore, you don't know what you're talking about. The best is far more sophisticated and deeply - sarcastically - self-referential that I think it would be a real challenge for AI to come up with something both compelling and meaningful.

[testycool]

I don't have strong opinions on whether the AI music I listen to is nerdcore or something else. Maybe I didn't use the correct term.

I think you touched on the point: people who don't actually care about music think musical pablum is 'good', because it slides in their ear and out without challenging them with actual 'listening'. This guy even assigns a genre to his slop while clearly knowing (and, really, caring) nothing about what he claims to like listening to.

[testycool]

I do care a lot what I listen to. It takes me while to find songs that I like.

Also I am not listening to AI generated music that I generate myself.

These are some channels whose music I like:

i love the braindead takes in the replies you are getting. attacking you for enjoying AI music. these people are in for a rude awakening... actually no. they'll assimilate quietly and pretend they were never this dense.

AI music is just as good as all human-made music. It is at the point of indistinguishability now and anyone actually using suno v5+ knows this.
