Commissioning The Slop Song

[Leo Gura]

I want someone to make an AI-generated song about slop. Call it The Slop song. It needs to be a deep, soulful song -- similar to Mad World -- about how slop is taking over the world.

@bazera That's a decent start, but needs fleshing out and more pathos.

Thanks for sharing.

would be funny if it actually is slop talking about the destruction that slop is doing to our society

my god, i miss that song mad world .. I haven't thought about that in so long, that was the first song that made me reflect deeply on life as a teen

@Leo Gura I am a professional songwriter/musician. Have been writing music for nearly 20 years with a degree in music concentration. I can do this without the use of AI and can assure you that because it's coming from a human, it is guaranteed to have soul.  

I know you're probably just doing this for shits & giggles lol and why not right? But it is nearly impossible to create an AI-generated song (aka tincan music) sound soulful. AI does not have a heart or a "soul" and one simply cannot create authentic music without those two things, period. That's like expecting an inanimate object to love you or assuming a photo of a feast will satisfy your hunger. 

I recently wrote a piece titled, "I Don't Wanna Live In This World Anymore" (yes, quite blunt. It's also one of the most vulnerable songs I've ever written) but it's got a similar dark lyrical theme as Mad World. It touches on slop a little.

Of course I don't expect AI to actually make it soulful. I was looking for a parody of soulful.

Feel free to take the idea and run with it.

I intended this as a viral parody song.

Behold, The Slop EP

 

 

The Slop Song - 2.mp3

[PolyPeter]

Feeding the ghost in the machine tonight A billion pixels, but none of them are bright Waxen faces staring from a hollow frame A million voices, but they all sound the same We’re drowning in the silver, we’re starving for the gold In a marketplace of stories that never have been told.

 

And I find it kinda strange, I find it kinda grey Watching all the beauty slowly melt away It’s a kingdom made of slop, a digital debris A world of hollow echoes where I used to be me No heart in the rhythm, no soul in the skin Just a shallow ocean where the noise wins.

Brushes of code painting ghosts of the past Nothing is sacred, and nothing will last No blood in the ink, no sweat on the brow We’re trading the fire for the "here and now" A sea of white noise, a plastic-wrapped dream The world is a glitch in a soulless stream.

hey @Leo Gura, I tried uploading 3 more versions, but i think there is a limit for how many MB I am allowed to post in a topic 

i made sure the files themselves are less than 4mb each

[Leo Gura]

@PolyPeter Upload limits here are very low. You need to upload to file sharing sites. This forum is not a file sharing service. We have limited server disk space.

Do you want mad world but just lyrics changed?

[integral]

[Verse 1]
Children scrolling on the day they're born now
Happy data, happy data
And they'll feel the way the algorithm taught them
Sit and swallow, sit and swallow

[Verse 2]
Wrote a poem and a thousand bots replied to me
None of them knew me, none of them knew me
"Hello, model, tell me what I'm thinking"
Looking through me, looking through me

[Chorus]
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The world I had before this
Is the best I've ever had
I find it hard to show you
I find it hard to know
When everything is content, it's a very, very
Slop world, slop world

[Verse 3]
All around me, generated faces
Empty smiles in empty places
Scrolling, scrolling through the morning
No one warning, no one warning

[Verse 4]
Their feeds are filling up with nothing
Same expression, same expression
Close my eyes, I want to find a real thing
Not a hollow world, not a hollow world

Hahahahaha @integral

Honestly, who can blame anybody for this behavior?

human made music is way superior, orders of magnitude across multiple dimensions 

 

ai music is unidimensional

lolol i think the music has to be judged on how good it is in its genra (the quality) not how someone like its from there preferences.

Its very hard for me to see why any of leos songs are good that he posts on the blog. But i can see why its good within its genra as it stands relative to the others in its genra. 

But with this Ai music its not going to be a solid piece from begging to end, there are good part were the ai got it right and Parts where it could do better. So when these AI songs are posted its got to be taken with a grain of salt. (the potential)
