Sounds better than Armin's latest track. I can if I had the ability to come up with a nice instrumental remix those chords towards the end are dope.
I heard a recent track from Gareth Emery - "Fallen" with vocals in chinese, and decided to try to generate a trance track with east vocals, but I chose japanese because it seems to me more melodic. Yes, the instruments sound simple, but I like this slightly dark atmosphere.

I think i'll spin up a separate thread for our own AI created music, and keep this one mostly for discussion.

That Obsidian Cascade track is pretty nice btw @Pokkryshkin . Gabriel Dresden, Anjuna, Coldharbour fusion. What was the prompt?

My opinion on AI EDM is very simple and very negative: AI is going to be the death of music. I draw the line at stem separation and maybe the "this is the part of your track you need to improve" thing Enigma State mentioned in this thread. Anything else - and especially fully AI generated tracks - will be met with nothing but disdain from me. Soon it'll be impossible to tell what is human-made and what isn't and I don't trust both artists and listeners with that kind of power at all.

The fact that some artists seem to promote AI generation completely puzzles me, their jobs are at the highest risk of becoming obsolete once AI becomes truly indistinguishable from human productions. Yeah sure, there's going to be a brief period where you will be able to generate your own music faster than ever before, but eventually someone is going to take that music, train their own AI with it and then release their own songs that sound like yours. You might get something out of a legal battle but as far as I know, copyright laws cover the musical composition of a single piece itself and not the general sound of the artist who created it. I am very glad laws are being put in place to prevent AI music sites from scraping streaming services, but I think we've come too far already at this point.

I'm going to continue listening to the artists I like and I hope they're smart enough to realise the dangers of this "tool" and to not give in to it.

It'll be very interesting in the future whether anyone in their bedroom could make a quality Ferry Corsten '99 style track in seconds...if the prompts become so advanced it would know exactly what youd want.

While I do acknowledge that AI will be a spectacular piece of technology once it has reached that point, the absolute last thing I want is for already released music to completely lose its meaning because people can just generate similar sounding music without putting in the effort the original artist did, or any effort at all. No matter how it's being used, I don't want it anywhere near the things I like (including, but not limited to, Corsten's '99 style).
