       | As a musician, the things I want most from generative AI is:
       | 
       | 1. Being able to have the AI fill in a track in the song, but use
       | the whole song as input to figure out what to generate. Ideally
       | for drums this would be a combination of individual drum hits,
       | effects and midi so I'm able to tweak it after generation. If it
       | used the Ableton effects and drum rack then that would be
       | perfect.
       | 
       | 2. Take my singing and make it both sound great and like any
       | combination of great singers (e.g. give me a bit of Taylor Swift
       | combined with Cat Power)
       | 
       | I've had a play with the style transfer between singers (bullet
       | point 2 above) but when I last tried it, it was garbage in /
       | garbage out, and my singing is garbage.
       | 
       | What I don't want: To just generate a whole song. Adobe does this
       | style of assistive AI well in the photo editing space but no one
       | seems to have brought it to audio yet.

         | up my baseline or chords or recommend a fill instrument.

       | Fine-tuned on pure rap data to create an AI system specialized in
       | rap generation Expected capabilities include AI rap battles and
       | narrative expression through rap Rap has exceptional storytelling
       | and expressive capabilities, offering extraordinary application
       | potential
       | 
       | Using a certain other music generator I got it to accidentally
       | say ***. It said it with a Latino American accent too.
       | 
       | In fact for whatever reason this tool couldn't use a typical AAVE
       | voice. Just Sage Francis / Atmosphere like dictionary raps and a
       | few Latino American ones.
       | 
       | A big limitation of AI sloop is it tries to not offend anyone.
       | 
       | Art that can't even try to offend is barely art.
