Is this AI-generated flamenco?

Sure is. AI hasn’t figured out compas……yet. I’m sure it will. One thing is for sure-AI has better guitar technique than I do.

Even with perfect compas Flamenco dynamics is really hard for A.I. to copy, I guess much harder than electric guitar and other stuff. But eventually .....

Hopefully all this A.I. BS will lead to more appreciation for live music and gigs, at some point in the future that will probably be the only thing A.I. can't do, unless they build Paco de lucia robots.

Ive read a few pieces on this. That ai won't be the doomsday we think it will.
Bit it will redesign our priorities and what is considered important roles/careers industries.
Basically one of then said plumbers will be the highest paid... tongue in cheek i thin bit makes the point. But it said that live Music, art, crafts, trades.... well rose to the top again. It will push us back to these wonderful things and traditions we have kinda lost sight of

This has already been true for quite a long time already.

I just replaced this broken bathroom sink with a new one alone.

I guess my future is now secured and A.I. can kiss my humanoid A....

Also accepting apprentices starting today!

Aim higher. The guys making the money will be the ones who employ the plumbers.

RE: Is this the end? (in reply to Stu

I really hope this comes to pass. I wonder about the future of the recording industry when I’ll be able to instruct AI to create a Solea with chacon singing and Vicente accompanying and watch it on a hologram. Or have it create an original composition based on a melody I sang in the style of Mozart. I could amuse myself for hours with that kind of entertainment. Can you imagine the level of instruction for all types of endeavors? There goes the teaching gig. That link I posted the op had spent time creating several ai videos. He wrote the letra for one of them. The singing was AI. AI mixed up palos in a few, having sig go into rumba, etc. It could be that the op doesn’t understand flamenco or that AI wasn’t given explicit instructions.

Smart - that way, the work can scale. I, on the other hand, have only 24 hours in a day to replace sinks, etc.

Arash, do you want to come work for me? Bring your friends too.

RE: Is this the end? (in reply to rombsix

This is the problem with musicians not being able to earn money from recordings. They can only do one gig at a time. I can imagine music supervisors using AI to create music for commercials and even movies, eliminating another revenue stream. In my small business I employed tradesmen. For a few decades I supplemented my income with music gigs. At some point I made more money taking a phone call than the best paying gig I could get. That’s when I asked myself why I was giving up a weekend day to drive a few hours to a gig.

But “Arash Plumbing Contractors” still has the lead because he already has the skill. :-)

Dammit... beaten again!

You were driving to gigs because that got you happiness that money (through tradesmen) cannot buy.
