It can be expanded further than 1 min, just tried it… but it seems like it starts to break apart after the 1min mark. Gave me a weird glitched outro on one example and a section that sounds very different from the previous ones.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 17 April 2024 16:28 (one month ago) link
the extensions are clunky, like on my rap song I tried to add a spoken word intro for 33 seconds and when the text was short, instead of taking pauses, it would read everything way too fast and leave it with uncomfortable silence and a feeling like the song was never going to start, or awkward pauses in the middle of phrases.
one thing I do find hilarious about the app is when you do rap songs, it tries to work what you write into meter and if it feels like the lyrics you supplied are missing something, it fills in the gaps with gibberish.
like I wrote "God's cool, he made my balls", but the AI decided there should be another line after that to fit into the meter so it said something that SOUNDED like "take a look at these" but it was really just double-talk gibberish meant to sound like words.

the tech is pretty simple aiui (although resource-intensive), it's a plagiarism machine that scrapes the internet for data
― I painted my teeth (sleeve), Thursday, 18 April 2024 14:49 (one month ago) link
Sure that’s how ai works but given a large pool of data that spits out things that faintly resemble something but it’s something new how can you argue plagiarism?
AI is analyzing thousands of songs from every genre and learning what are the main aesthetics of each one. If AI takes 1000 country songs from different artists to learn about it and do something that doesn’t sound exactly like the source should those 1000 country artists get a paycut?

Yeah at this point is more of a novelty tbh, the legal aspect of it should be studied for when it inevitably gets improved but I suppose the better it gets the harder it will be to actually trace what the source is.
I don’t think it will change real music considerably. It will likely be used as a tool for inspiration or as samples and will be a battle uphill.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 18 April 2024 18:20 (one month ago) link
There are a lot of venues where the people paying kind of don't want "real" music, but rather Muzak (supermarkets, waiting rooms, soundtracks, etc...) and to the extent that this continues the shrinking of music-related side gigs, maybe Jimmy Fallon replacing The Roots with a laptop will mark the turning point, though I guess the question is who loses their job first, Questlove or Jimmy?

My general view of this is that it's a fun gimmick, and scarily "realistic", but typing an idea of what you want to hear into a prompt box and it coming out the other end will never match the thrill of hearing exactly what you want to hear being done by a band and knowing other people exist in the world who are thinking in the same way as you
