Voice synthesis has been going steady. Lots of commercial and hobbyist interest: you can use 15.ai for crackerjack SaaS voice synthesis in a slick free UI; and if you want to run the models yourselves, Tortoise just released a FLOSS stack of remarkable quality. Music, I'm afraid, appears stuck in the doldrums of small one-offs doing stuff like MIDI. Nothing like the breadth & quality of Jukebox has come out since it, even though it's super-obvious that there is a big overhang there and applying diffusion & other new methods would give you something like much like DALL-E 2 / Imagen for general music.
