If anyone is interested, I’ll start a ping list for Rick Beato. I posted another of this videos the other day and there was a good response. FreepMail me if you are interested
I’m a Beato fan — put me down for a ping list!
I am just waiting for Rush Limbaugh to go back on the air. Replicating his voice is easy. There is also 30 years of ‘training data’ so his analysis could be applied to current events.
They will be great sounding songs, but they will be empty of meaning because there is no life experience being transmitted.
That’s what it means to me.

I'm not saying AI won't become amazing, or that it won't eventually become somewhat sentient. Just that what there is now isn't that.
Another issue about AI and advancing technology is showcased when applying it to sports. Think about how you feel and react when you watch a hitter blast a 105 mph fastball over the center field wall, or Usain Bolt do the 100 meters in 9.58 seconds, or Lionel Messi dribble through 7 players before chipping the goalkeeper, or an NBA player hitting a 3 at the buzzer, etc.. Would you feel the same if it were a machine doing it, or would you spend your afternoon or evening watching machines compete against each other? How will you feel if all music, and all novels, and all movies are AI generated?
If AI could capture the talent of the 60’s and 70’s, the world would be a much better place.
Beato is great, a ping list would be appreciated. I’ll mail ya for getting on the list...
The only flaw in Beato’s logic is LIVE MUSIC. The “people don’t care” about recorded music alone may be true, but what about where the bulk of artists make $$$ - concerts? Will they come up with AI versions of the new fake artists and project them? Have holograms seeming to run around on stage, but unable to interact with the audience? Or will the Metaverse make all of this superfluous?
Regards,
Isn’t this mostly AI altering a voice to sound like another so far?
If this was as wonderful a tech revolution as it is being portrayed, then going out to dinner where there is LIVE music would still mean LIVE music, or else it's just recorded stuff not worth a cover charge. Going to concerts, whether pop or classical, would still mean LIVE players doing something on stage, rather than paying big bucks to sit and look at a speaker system playing pre-recorded pabulum. Going to a musical or opera would require LIVE performers, still. And if everything is just AI digital, then the profits driven in part by personalities and personas would shrink. Nobody's gonna pay to sit in a room, big or small, and have recorded playback blasted at them. One push of a finger on a machine isn't going to attract paying audiences.
The whole just reeks of marketing, whether it be AI stuff or headlines about the future being a fearful thing. Be afraid; be very afraid. Or go sit at your piano and play a little Beethoven. I'll do the latter. And Beethoven won't be getting royalties either.....
Beato fan here. If you have a ping list, put me on it. Thanks. :-)
I await Mahler Symphony # 11.
