<story><title>Stable Audio Open</title><url>https://stability.ai/news/introducing-stable-audio-open</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>Uehreka</author><text>&amp;gt; The new model was trained on audio data from FreeSound and the Free Music Archive. This allowed us to create an open audio model while respecting creator rights.&lt;p&gt;This feels like the “Ethereum merge moment” for AI art. Now that there exists a prominent example with the big ethical obstacle (Proof of Work in the case of Ethereum, nonconsensual data-gathering in the case of generative AI) removed, we can actually have interesting conversations about the ethics of these things.&lt;p&gt;In the past I’ve pushed back on people who made the argument that “generative AI intrinsically requires theft from artists”, but the terrible quality of models trained on public domain data made it difficult to make that argument in earnest, even if I knew I was right in the abstract.</text></comment>
<story><title>Stable Audio Open</title><url>https://stability.ai/news/introducing-stable-audio-open</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>mg</author><text>When they released Stable Audio 2.0, I tried to create &amp;quot;unusual&amp;quot; songs with prompts like &amp;quot;roaring dragon tumbling rocks stormy morning&amp;quot;. The results are quite interesting:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;@MarekGibney&amp;#x2F;videos&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;@MarekGibney&amp;#x2F;videos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I find it fascinating that you can put all information needed to recreate a whole complex song into a string like&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;     rough stormy morning car rocks hammering
     drum solo roaring dragon downtempo
     audiosparx-v2-0 seed 5
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
This means a whole album of these songs could easily fit into a single TCP&amp;#x2F;IP packet.&lt;p&gt;If a music genre evolves in which each song is completely defined by its title, maybe it will be called &amp;quot;promptmusic&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;I will try the new model with the same prompts and upload the results.</text></comment>
