I noticed we don’t have an AI-thread, although this topic is lively debated elsewhere on Crow Hill.
So my proposition is that we use this thread for AI applications THAT KEEPS THE CREATOR IN CONTROL. Important distinction these days.
I was thinking about Christians prophecy last night on the FOTRP, that DAW developers should switch thinking patterns and create Canva like DAWS instead. Your grab what you need.
For all that AI coding tools like Amorph are empowering, it’s perhaps worth bearing in mind that the creators of the LLMs they rely on are as guilty - at least in my view - of pillaging the intellectual property of programmers (and other writers) to train their models generative music AI companies are of pillaging the intellectual property of musicians and composers.
When I ever had a coding or config problem, I used to go on stackover flow and the results were very hit and miss. Now when I might ask Gemini or what not for help, it can still be hit and miss because stack overflow is part of it’s training data.
I know I’m not answering about the Amorph plugin. Just a general thought about using AI for creativity.
Ai has a humongous amount of training data. How could it assess what is correct/incorrect, good/terrible.
I brew beer at home. If I say I want to brew a low alcohol brown ale, it can tell me how much grain to use and what temperature to mash it at. It can suggest what hops to use but there is no way of knowing whether those hop suggestions will result in a beer I actually think is good.
I’m so burnt out by all the bad implementation of LLM’s, that I can’t find the energy to care about the good implementations of LLM’s / AI. And even the best intentioned, well meaning AI software, still relies on information and data that was obtained unethically and uses more energy than it’s worth. I just wish it would all go away honestly. I think it’s an overall net negative, and what little good has come of it, is vastly outweighed by the bad.
A for the plugin, it seems like a fun novelty, but mostly a gimmick. It requires a whole workflow shift without ever proving it’s even worth it. It’s also always online, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just a way for the dev team to get a constant stream of free ideas for new plugins.
