We all appreciate and express themselves via music in different ways. We are having a musical experience when we hum or sing along to our favourite songs in the shower, while driving, or simply for fun. What if we could make music just as simply as we can sing it? Imagine having access to artificial intelligence that would allow you to write your own tunes.
You can accomplish it with the help of MusicLM, an AI technology that Google announced in January. It may be trained by altering hummed or whistled tunes to fit a text caption's description of that style in addition to text-based cues like ChatGPT. In essence, you may use it to instantly turn a song that is playing in your head into real, high-fidelity music by humming it out.
How does MusicLM work?
MusicLM, which was first described in a research article, was trained on a dataset of 280,000 hours of music to produce "realistic" tunes with incredibly exact descriptions like "a calming violin melody backed by a distorted guitar riff." To get the model to create exactly what they have in mind, users may define instruments and genres like "classical" or "electronic" along with the "vibe, mood, or emotion" they are striving for.
In addition, Google showed off its capacity to modify whistled and hummed tunes in accordance with the manner specified in a caption. Not only that, but the AI model could also be fed descriptions of art in order to produce music that matched the mood of paintings.
The powers were astounding, but there were also some serious issues that surfaced. The fact that models like MusicLM might be trained on copyrighted music to produce new songs is only one of the numerous ethical issues that Google researchers noted with regards to these models. They also noticed that the model occasionally produced music that was an exact duplicate of the tracks it had been educated on.
