But then I started to find pieces of music from amazing artists, with the artist often being difficult to find. I see why it would be hard to come out as someone other than BoC here, because there is such a vetting process for the really good stuff, and in honesty, I don't think many of us truly and fully listen to every suggested track that comes up in the other threads.
So, the attention goes to those who produce the most amazing pieces of music, that make us feel like we might be hearing something wholly new to our ears. The sad thing is that there's a price to pay for that, which is to be picked apart, piece by piece, until the music is no longer about the music, but about the possibility that it's BoC. And I get it, this place is all about BoC.

They're fun and the music is often nice, I'm glad people make them. I don't know why it sounds like BoC to so many people, Im not hearing what you're hearing. Feels like the work of a different mind entirely to me.
I agree about locking this thread down. The more I read and watch videos online about AI, the more eye opening this tech actually is and how far it’s come along. It’s too easy for someone to use one of these AI generators to pump it full of the older legit BOC material from Random 35 Tracks Tape, A Few Old Tunes, etc., just to have the AI regurgitate a bunch of similar yet differentiated sounding tracks. Seems that the end user can even manipulate individual tracks to slightly differ them up from the original to varying degrees. Really crazy stuff. I’m officially out on all this shit. Was fun while it lasted.Frindia wrote:How disheartening. I wondered if that was AI generated and asked a few people if they believed it to be and was assured that it was not. What a pain in the ass. Lock this thread and throw away the key. Maybe it will help from anyone continuing this mess.
I say screw the creator. This person has strung us along too far and missed their opportunity to come forward last year. My .02 of course.Orbited insanitarium wrote:I'm deeply sorry but in my heart of hearts I do not believe this music at all is Artificial Intelligence.
Apologies to you if you do, and I wish not to be called a big thicko for my thoughts. I am taking this serious tone as I imagine it would be very disappointing for the creator if they read this, their work to be demeaned to that of skynet.
Oh gang, we better than believing this is just a case of 'feed the machines'?

Good take. I had forgotten about that Wouldn’t You Like to Be Free track being AI generated. That was a year ago and the technology has only improved by leaps and bounds since.April 7th wrote:I got the impression I ruffled a few feathers when I asked if AI could have any part in this. For what its worth, this is what AI did with Wouldn't You Like to Be Free.

I think there's a case to be made against the thrift store tape being AI. Although I am satisfied that it probably isn't BOC. It's highly unlikely that the Redondo Vacuum and Janitorial commercial would have aired on British or Scottish regional radio, I don't think they would have backed up on VHS, the tracks are shorter than typical BOC tracks and artificially aging things with software doesn't seem like their style. They modified a VCR to record Semena Mertvykh.
I like the music though. Whoever -- or whatever -- created it.

Yes, it has recreated several sound-a-likes, but when you listen to it, it still sounds poor quality as if it's being ran through a bit crusher. Just like when AI generates "realistic" voices, you can still hear the imperfection that gives it away. Sure, it's not outside the realm of possibility of it being AI generated, but it's also not outside the realm of possibility that there's an individual that sat down wrote and recorded the music. As far fetched as it is, this idea of it being long lost recordings of BoC isn't out of the realm of possibility either. I'll say it again,,,,after all,,,we're not talking quantum physics or string theory here. I think it's less likely to be AI.
