I Hate AI Music, But This is kinda Cool - Infinite Crate (Patreon)

I've been exploring this new plugin called Infinite-Crate, which generates an endless stream of music using AI based on your prompts and the context of the music you've already created.

While I share concerns about big companies using artists' data, environmental impact, and the broader implications of AI, I'm also curious to see what's possible with the latest technology.

The plugin is free to use, you just generate an API key and start crafting music instantly, tweaking prompts, influences, and key settings as you go.

It's a great tool for getting fresh inspiration, and even though it's not perfect and relies on servers for now, I see a lot of creative possibilities, especially if something like this becomes available for local use in the future.

Introduction to the Infinite-Crate plugin, likely created by Google, which generates endless AI-based music streams from user prompts and context.

Concerns about AI using data from small artists, lack of compensation, and environmental impact, balanced with curiosity about new technology.

The plugin is free to use, requires generating an API key, and works by typing text prompts and adjusting sliders for prompt and context influence.

Users can control BPM, key, and other musical parameters, though some (like key) are imprecise.

Demonstration of integrating the plugin with other tools like pitch correction, reverb, and samplers to create unique ambiances.

The plugin allows creative tweaking and offers constant inspiration, serving as a source for quick and unique background music and samples.

Reliability can vary due to server load, but when stable, it provides a seamless generation experience.

Discussion on the potential for future open-source, locally-run models that would remove the need for cloud servers.

Highlighting the advantage of using Infinite-Crate over other AI music generators, with real-time control and more user input.

Reflection on the evolving role of AI in music production, where AI can provide endless inspiration, but hands-on sound design and manual creation still hold personal value.

Closing remarks, inviting feedback and discussion about the use of AI in music.
