AI generated audio @Onj @jscholes Did you maybe give it the instrumental version, not the version with the TTS voices and Patrick and the sheep and the ripping noises and the telephone and everything? Also, I don't pay for Suno. Does it let you describe what you want in a cover? For reference, this was the track I gave Riffusion.

AI generated audio @Onj @jscholes Also, I'm not exactly being fair to it by giving it a track as strange as Freaky Freaky Fwoof to work off of. I suspect that people who aren't trying to be funny could make something pretty okay.

AI generated audio @Onj You should. It's free while you're in beta. It also advertises that as you favourite songs, and upload your own tracks, it can train itself to better match your musical style. So...I...ummm...I guess I'm pretty screwed.

AI generated audio @Onj Right, one more and now I'm off to do something productive with my life. This time I wanted to be a bit more fair and ask Riffusion for something at least vaguely musically similar. I asked it to turn the track into a kpop song. It, uh, just kind of ignored me. Anyway, here's the Bollywood Freaky Freaky Fwoof remix everyone always wanted!

AI generated audio @Onj I assume Frankie had something to do with it.

AI generated audio @Onj Its the day after valentines day. Also I was curious about how much effect my prompt has. I asked for the same track as a romantic love ballad. Why is it in german? This German man eventually gets just as excited about Frankie.

AI generated audio @Onj I originally tried with Cheap Plastic Roger, but it just turned that into horrific shrieking noises with someone smashing a drum behind them. Completely unlistenable.

AI generated audio @Onj Yup, it was! I have no idea where the yelling man came from, or what happened to the sheep. But the phone stayed untouched, for...reasons.

AI generated audio @rlegowski1 @Onj It deeply amuses me that the most identifiable thing it kept from the original track was the telephone ringing sound. Everything else came from, I don't know where. Some sort of AI fever dream.

AI generated audio The says you can upload songs, give it a prompt, and it will make a remix for you. Being in capable of doing audio editing myself, that sounded exciting! So I grabbed an old @Onj track from his TBRN days, and asked for a hardcore dubstep remix. It gave me, uh, something. It's called Frankie Wolf, apparently. You remember that time you wrote Frankie Wolf, right Andre? Seriously, I bet nobody can even identify what track this was before the AI did unspeakable incomprehensible things to it.

@mcourcel A little riffusion tip for you. There's an unlabeled button above the "Create the music you imagine..." thing in the banner landmark. That's an upload button. You can extend or remix existing recordings! Uploading recordings that aren't actually songs is extra fun.

@mcourcel Yeah, that interface is really annoying. And the songs it generates are much shorter, even if you use the extended model.

@FreakyFwoof Absolutely yes. If they all went on strike he would have to change his behavior pretty quickly. Passivity isn’t really an option in wartime.

@FreakyFwoof I would if they’d take me. But as a blind guy all I can do is post online calling his supporters mean names in hopes at least one of them can be pressured into quitting following orders. And refuse to buy American products. And attend protests. I don’t think you, as someone not directly in trumps crosshairs, gets to judge me for that.

@FreakyFwoof Yes. Trump is quite serious about making Canada a state. He’s said multiple times economic warfare is his plan.

@FreakyFwoof So the people who fought hitler were just extremests? Trump has effectively declared a Cold War on Canada. If being willing to fight and die to defend my freedom, and believing others must do the same, is extreme, so be it.
