This Music Video Does Not Exist [video]
- alexdowad 6y agoIt started with just noise, but a bit later there was actual music which was very impressive if indeed synthesized out of 'nothing' by a neural network. Chord progression which was something like I-V-IV-vi, a simple melody based on the same progression, a simple baseline...
- MattGaiser 6y agoI don't seem to be getting a video?
- disgruntled101 6y agoWell it does explicitly say it doesnt exist
- ceilingcorner 6y agoEvery time I see one of these “X does not exist” articles, I hope that it’s just a blank page.
- shakna 6y agoI get a YouTube embed [0], of which it probably has a list it tries to deliver one from randomly. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tSa701EftM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tSa701EftM
- rany_ 6y agoI got the same exact video. I wonder if that's because its not random or just doesn't have enough videos
- elbajo 6y agoIt's picking a random video out of 14: ${urls[urls.length * Math.random() | 0]} With the list loaded as an asset: urls = ["Spu3eiOEJ-M", "BE2lZ-Ti1Wc", "lHpcYPfjiLs", "6w2WXRFJpAE", "jPBgu-IO6TI", "g4px8cFR3gc", "whD78YCQXoo", "4iN9738uASY", "2tSa701EftM", "hjinBNYEkb8", "jckJS8RNMbw", "gq5EQtSiJiE", "zhV3ecScgrA", "wVnt_CX0C64"]
- xingyzt 6y agohttps://www.thismusicvideodoesnotexist.com/assets/urls.json https://www.thismusicvideodoesnotexist.com/assets/urls.json has about a dozen video IDs
- eth0up 6y agoWhatever I viewed, frequently morphed into car shapes, with an apparent emphasis on frontal and rear portions. A sort of pseudo intellectual ADHD pr0n vid for kinky vehicle computers, or very peripherally specialized humans.
- poormystic 6y agoLike the music it accompanies, it is probably very good.
- spijdar 6y agoThis makes me uncomfortable, but also very intrigued. Something about the visuals "tickles the brain" but not in any particular way I can reason about. Cool!
- isoskeles 6y agoIt would be cool if videos like these can be generated in realtime to replace music visualizers like waveform or spectrograms. Even if it has no utility as a real visualizer, it is still nice to watch!
- IndySun 6y agoThe videos created are more like visualisers. Not a bad thing, but I was expecting dancers, singers. Still, very impressive technology.
- tener 6y agoIt does now.
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- IceWreck 6y agoEdit: Its using OpenAI Jukebox (https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/ https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/) which claims to actually produce good music. Ive heard music synthesized by neural nets made by different people, this doesn't sound like that. It may be over-fitting. Also, watching multiple videos, all the music is similar. There is this one tune thats in every single one of them.
- brna 6y agoOh, it's human music! Love it. This is my favorite so far, especially the lyrics :D Had to leave the office, to not disturb anyone with my laughter. https://soundcloud.com/openai_audio/classic-pop-in-the-style-of-frank-sinatra https://soundcloud.com/openai_audio/classic-pop-in-the-style...
- fho 6y agoHuman Flesh For Sacrifice!
- indigodaddy 6y agoThe music portion is always the same it seems, yes?
- ajuc 6y agoIt seems there's 2 music pieces with some minor variations. I think maybe the GAN overfitted to these particular songs? Or it found 2 attractors in the space of all music videos :)
- c-fe 6y agoI really like it, altough the music seems to be always the 2 same songs with some alterations - Dancer In The Dark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnGv2gwk8As https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnGv2gwk8As - Cigarettes After Sex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIKTnnsL9CU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIKTnnsL9CU
- mhh__ 6y agoThe former music video shows the holy grail for an AI (Don't have to pay for models, or at least not that kind of model)
- alfiedotwtf 6y agoDid you reverse search that with Shazam etc or did you just know those songs?
- fogihujy 6y agoThe one I got seemed to be a combination of the two. It didn't sound all bad tbh.
- squarefoot 6y agoThe 1st one is very similar due to the syncopated bass being anticipated by one 16th within the 1st beat of each measure. I guess it's common in that style.
- tokenmonster 6y agoYeah, it definitely seems to be overfitting.
- reducesuffering 6y agoThis is scary and what I feared would eventually happen. How long before AI is better than every music producer, trained on all of music how likeable something is? How long before fake influencers on IG and TikTok completely dominate by having more addictive personalities and videos to follow than real people?
- BaseS4 6y agoWhy do you care?
- deleted 6y ago[deleted]
- jsilence 6y agoI for one welcome our new AI influencer overlords!
- monsieurbanana 6y agoInternet is already dominated by designed-by-committee personalities.
- ehnto 6y agoThere's two fallacies I think you've touched on here, one is that there is an "objectively best" music. Music is so tightly coupled to cultural movements, very subjective, and extremely broad in scope, it just can't be the case. The second I feel is that people would still be interested in AI music in a meaningful way. I think AI music has a following now because it's interesting and novel, and that gives it a story, but once it's mainstream, that story is boring and people will go back to seeking real culturally relevant music. Sure the music on TikTok/IG and friends could be generated, but I am not sure I care too much. Those platforms are almost entirely vapid, void of authenticity already, the music being fake too doesn't detract that much.
- Cthulhu_ 6y ago> one is that there is an "objectively best" music. Case in point, I enjoy some shit. No way AI will replace lo-fi recorded-in-underground-bunker limited-cassette-tape-release atmospheric black metal / noise. I mean it might, but here's a take from a different angle: art is not just the end result, it's the process and the story behind it. Nobody objectively gives a shit about a selfie from the early 1500's, but because of its provenance the Mona Lisa is considered one of the most valuable pieces of art out there. Nobody gives a shit about a database row with an ID, timestamp, user ID and the text "just setting up my twttr", but because it's the first tweet and it's put on a trading platform and it might appreciate in value, someone spent $2.5M on it. You slag of TikTok because every generation will slag off whatever the following generation(s) do, that's normal. But the generation following you see that differently, and in two decades they will still reference some of the more iconic clips they've seen. I mean I do it with really bad movie voiceovers from nearly 20 years ago, as well as terrible porn intros. It's part of culture. Anyway, there will be a place for AI generated anything alongside the handcrafted stuff. Like how there is still a market for handcrafted goods alongside the mass producing machines. Or hand-drawn art in the age of digital. Or physical valuables in the age of electronic money and cryptocurrencies.
- flobosg 6y agoThe syncing of the visuals to the music brings to mind the video for The Chemical Brothers’ Star Guitar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM
- ehnto 6y agoA really impressive achievement, I wonder how they achieved it when the song was released.
- BeniBoy 6y agoIf you like that, you can look up other music video shot by Michel Gondry. He has an incredible creativity and DIY ethos that really sets him appart. The film "Be Kind, Rewind" is kind of a "mise en abîme" in that regards, shot by Gondry and featuring characters that show the same kind of cinematic craftiness.
- IndySun 6y agohttps://m.youtube.com/watch/GF0-wGbRqEs https://m.youtube.com/watch/GF0-wGbRqEs Making of Star Guitar
- jephson 6y agoI recall seeing a behind-the-scenes clip somewhere (perhaps on the Directors Label series that came out in the early 2000s) where Gondry talks about his brother piecing this together from video footage they'd captured. I can't find that clip but came across this very early exploration towards the final product: https://youtu.be/GF0-wGbRqEs https://youtu.be/GF0-wGbRqEs
- flohofwoe 6y agoStar Guitar is from 2003 which was well in the era of "cheap computers are good enough now that we can manipulate each pixel" (after all, Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park were made in the early 90's, and music videos usually don't need "cinematic" image quality because they were broadcasted over TV). If you look closely at the Star Guitar video, you can find "clipping artefacts" where the fragments are pieced together or fade in and out.
- ggm 6y agoI could totally believe walking into a bar playing this. Who would get the performing rights?
- Udik 6y agoBeautiful, almost every frame is a perfectly plausible and very tasteful abstract painting. But it seems a bit obsessed with cars, not a very meaningful image. Would it be possible to nudge the net to other concepts?
- serial_dev 6y agoIt's actually good music. The visual parts match the music pretty well, too (though it makes me anxious if I look at it longer than 3 seconds). I do wonder, though, whether it's just over-fits, and takes the original music with some minor tweaks. Another interesting point would be to know if this music could be sold cheaply without legal troubles (or even distributed royalty free). Most of the music I heard is pretty neat, I could image using them in YouTube videos, or as podcast jingles.
- BoiledCabbage 6y ago> though it makes me anxious if I look at it longer than 3 seconds I've read that people with Trypophobia can often have similar reactions to these GAN type generated images. You may want to look into seeing if you have a mild case of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypophobia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypophobia
- smithmayowa 6y agoI have tyro-phobia and yeah those Gan images freak me out, any solution for tyro-phobia?
- the_af 6y agoI don't have it to the point of phobia, but I do find images of multiple tiny holes (especially with eye-looking things inside) in animals and plants disturbing. I think it is indeed a natural response. Animals/plants with lots of tiny holes look diseased to me. By the way, if you do have this to the point of phobia, don't look at images of the Surinam Toad, whose young grow out of holes in the mother's back. Really, it's nightmarish.
- smithmayowa 6y agoNever doing that lol
- BoiledCabbage 6y ago
- aero-glide2 6y agoI had lots of fun taking images from https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ and feeding that to wombo.ai (converts static images of people to them singing a song)
- codetrotter 6y agoReminds me of Cuttlefish changing their camouflage. https://youtu.be/pgDE2DOICuc https://youtu.be/pgDE2DOICuc
- bcoates 6y agoIs there an explanation of how it works aside from just "It's a GAN"? I'm guessing it's generating a GAN on frames, and navigating around it (at random?) synchronized to the music, like the transition animations at https://www.thisfuckeduphomerdoesnotexist.com/ https://www.thisfuckeduphomerdoesnotexist.com/ , I'm curious if there's something else to it
- log101 6y agoIt seems great, but these things are not surprising anymore. I hope it will eventually turn into something more concrete than a lava lamp.
- erdo 6y agoI see heavy influences from the video for Take On Me by a-ha (except that was in black and white) https://youtu.be/djV11Xbc914 https://youtu.be/djV11Xbc914
- Eliezer 6y agoMe when I saw the title: Oh fuck my petunias. Me when I saw the video: Whew, this is much less timeline-scary than I was afraid it would be.
- StavrosK 6y agoSo the petunias are safe?
- foobarbecue 6y agoThe petunias were like "Oh no, not again."
- bjourne 6y agoI think the model is plagiarizing somewhat. Both https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhV3ecScgrA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhV3ecScgrA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjinBNYEkb8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjinBNYEkb8 contain the part of the melody from Take on Me by a-ha.
- ssijak 6y agoWhat is a good start to learn about generative art with neural nets? Using tools which work on OSX preferably. Lets say I want to train the AI on classical art pictures and see what it can generate by itself.
- ghego1 6y agoIf you are just starting with ML a very good start IMO is "Deep learning with Python", by Chollet. The second edition is very recent. It starts from the basics and takes you to some complex scenarios. It's focused primarily on Keras, which is a very to use library to start from. The book covers a lot ML on images, so moving from there to generative art should be "easy" once you grasp the fundamentals. I don't know however how feasible is to do ML on Macs, it might be a breeze or impossible, I genuinely have no idea :-)
- tiborsaas 6y agoWhatever tools you pick, if you want to run your training locally, get ready to invest in a neat CUDA GPU.
- acnops 6y agoShameless plug: You can create one of these yourself using https://wzrd.ai https://wzrd.ai , with any audio you want.
- Kelamir 6y agoIt allows to login in only with Google. Can't use it.

- flemhans 6y agoI've had my render queued up for many months, can that happen? It just shows "No renders yet :("
- acnops 6y agoWe had some bugs that caused this! If you could send your project name/ID via discord PM (see https://wzrd.ai/contact/ https://wzrd.ai/contact/), I can fix that for you!
- Kelamir 6y agoI can see it's now implemented. Thank you, acnops.
- drcongo 6y agoI tried this recently but it's possible to get all the way to putting your card details in without it ever telling you how much it's going to charge you. I closed it.
- acnops 6y agoWhat do you mean? Normally you should see the price at the start of checkout. We are improving some stuff though: - Better communication of what's include when you upgrade your project -> DONE - Explain pricing on other pages as well, like home page -> TODO
- unixhero 6y agoIt's so organic!
- puddingnomeat 6y agogluten free, too
- terse_malvolio 6y agoCultural extrapolation
- amatecha 6y agoI would love to see this used with music that's already extremely "algorithmic" and aesthetically lends itself to a computer-created process... IDM stuff like Access to Arasaka[0], Autechre[1], Qebrus[2] etc. Can I just take an artist's entire discography (or that of a few artists) and generate comparable material? Ahhhh can I have "more music" from my favorite artists!??! hehehe :) [0] https://tympanikaudio.bandcamp.com/track/nypox https://tympanikaudio.bandcamp.com/track/nypox [1] https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/acroyearii https://autechre.bandcamp.com/track/acroyearii [2] https://exophobiaorgqebrus.bandcamp.com/track/hmn-fshn https://exophobiaorgqebrus.bandcamp.com/track/hmn-fshn
- OhHiMarkos 6y agothis looks like a new cicada 3301 riddle?
- londons_explore 6y agoIt looks like this has involved uploading tens of thousands of videos to youtube... (guessing by the video names). All unlisted and without ads... Presumably uploaded with the API... Thats tens of TB's of free storage provided by Youtube there... With no ads... Do you not run a risk of a ban for that?
- ryankrage77 6y agoThere are only 14 videos linked to from the the website (see my other comment on this thread). The video IDs could be seeds for generation, or some other identifier besides sequential numbers.
- hahajk 6y agoThose visuals are badass. I know the nn was trying to replicate “realistic” images, but this semi-organic nonsense vibe would actually be awesome at a concert.
- menzoic 6y agoCan someone explain why this is impressive? Seems easy to correlate music features to visuals. It's been done for decades. What's special about this one?
- smusamashah 6y agoMusic generated with this https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/ https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/
- tcgv 6y agoI enjoyed the music and thought "wait, was this song AI generated?" then I turned Shazam to confirm it and it showed: "k. (Klesh Remix)" "Cigarettes After Sex"

- creata 6y agoI think you're talking about visualizers.[0] And yeah, this is a very nice visualizer, but I think it's a bit much to call it a "music video." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_visualization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_visualization
- motohagiography 6y agoUsing AI this way seems like the equivalent of inventing spam for music to me. It's interesting, but basically we've figured enough out about the entropy and shape of an honest signal that we can automatically produce noise against it that cancels meaning, or subverts it. The difference between simulating music and using formalisms to make discoveries about it seems like a matter of intent. As in, what's the difference between a horizon, a window viewing one, and a picture of one? The existence of an observer makes them related, and the position of the observer makes them different. That difference is probably analogous to what simulated music is to intentional music. The existence of a listener makes it music, and the relationship of the listener makes it different. These AI generated images are like cancelling-noise to images we already associate meaning with. Which is seems analogous to 1/f fractal or Perlin noise at a certain level of abstraction. Not to dismiss or attempt to trivialize the accomplishment at all, but when people create tech that is overwhelming to the senses like that, sometimes a new frame of reference can help.
- foobarbecue 6y agoDoes anyone know what this is? I see a lot of people jumping to a lot of conclusions, but no explanation on the site. EDIT: Ok, there's text at the bottom that I missed, with some cursory information and a link to http://taggartbonham.me/ http://taggartbonham.me/ . It says: Built with OpenAI's Jukebox and NVIDIA's StyleGAN2. Watch another or contact me
- gfody 6y agoa GAN for music videos, in the same vein as thispersondoesnotexist.com and thisworddoesnotexist.com - here's an index of them https://thisxdoesnotexist.com/ https://thisxdoesnotexist.com/
- foobarbecue 6y agoI'm asking if anyone here knows anything about it beyond what's implied in the URL (I'm aware of the other websites with similar URLs). Things like: how was it made, what are the inputs, is it generated on the fly each time you go to the page?
- gfody 6y agooh. it's just playing a youtube (you can click through to youtube on the top left - "ThisChannelDoesNotExist" the videos are unlisted)
- midlightdenight 6y agoThe music is made using OpenAIs Jukebox like others have said. My guess is that this is using this repo for making the visual part https://github.com/mikaelalafriz/lucid-sonic-dreams https://github.com/mikaelalafriz/lucid-sonic-dreams
