Musician reacts to AI-generated Gypsy Jazz

Video of me reacting to Gypsy jazz music generated by artificial intelligence.

I’m hearing these songs for the first time and wanted to share my reactions in my youtube channel. I hope you find it entertaining. Not my first time hearing AI music, but never heard it do gypsy jazz.

What do you think about AI-generated music?

[no_mis]

wow, first time hearing stuff from suno. It's scary-impressive how well it hit the genre.
Sadly, generated music for commercial use will mean a flood of sound-alike music. So even less streaming money for independent artists, which means less time and energy can be put into new exciting music (something AI can't do imo).
But you're right, we will still keep playing and connecting through chords and melodies and stuff :D

[commissarchad]

It's a touch soulless, but honestly, pretty damn impressive. But, can it drink and play around a campfire?!

[jazzguitarwithandy]

Well that's all of the background music sorted for UK TV 😂

[WansbeckBikecam]

Impressive as this is it doesn't sound anything like the way Django, Fapy Lafertin etc or any of the real gypsy's would play. But it does sound quite like a lot of the other modern players. I think this illustrates how much they rely on licks and learnt phrases going around the chords and scales rather than being actual jazz musicians imho

[unwrought]

Being a guitarist, although not of this genre of which I am nevertheless a great fan, I must admit I wouldn’t be suspicious at all hearing that. It’s much much better I would expect. Yes, the guitar tone is a bit plastic, but I would rather think it’s a weird microphone or something like that than an AI generated music. I am pretty sure it’s just a matter of very short time when no one could recognise anything.

[JustAGuitarPlayer]

Very impressive to my ears. The lines included tasteful rhythmic variation, it wasn’t just a steady stream of eighth notes. Now and then it would end a phrase on an interesting altered note. The variation in melodic direction was there too so to my ears it sounded good. I’d steal some of those lines. But I don’t want AI to take away more money out of musicians pockets which sadly is what it will end up doing.

[christoffernerheimwith]

This is incredible and scary. But I would like to see a blind test: AI vs human. Then let people decide their favourite

[sergioandresvahos]

Your videos are really funny (your sense of humor) but educative

[ukestudio]

A few dynamics (vibrato ..bends) missing. But otherwise, very cool ! Thank you for this experiment !

[michaelvarney.]

Wow… it swings well enough to dance to for sure.

[wackyruss]

In the Distant Future, the Year 2025 there will be Gypsy Robots traveling around the Galaxy in SpaceVardo WagonShips playing AI Generated Gypsy Jazz on the Moon, Mars, and Titan (62nd Moon of Saturn) for denizens living in Domed Colonies! Huzzah!!!

[raybart]

Yes, been playing with this over the last few weeks. The improvement in the last few months is unbelievable. Captures the genre pretty well in my opinion. Also it is a synthesis of real recordings so it kind of is real players combined.

[KimchiSpringRoll]

Yes I was trying to ask suna to make me some gypsy jazz backing tracks on random progressions for me to improv/noodling to but instead of backing tracks it gave me a bunch of intense fast tempo fully composed pieces, I ran out of free tokens for creation and was rather confused and a bit impressed with AI's solo phrasing.

[thirdcoastswing]

I love the accordion . I have no idea how to play one . Prob y i like it more as a listener than if i knew how to play the instrument. Also love the vibrato on guitar. Also love the colors the AI chose. And decided to hang out on. Crazy man

[nickcarroll]

I’ve been having fun with it, but it definitely has limits. I told it to make a 6 part fugue in the style of Bach using a 12 tone row melody. It didn’t even create a fugue at all, and no 12 tone row melody.

[clearbrain]

Unbeatable....
Humans need great practice to play this

[cesar]

Suno is popular, but the latest AI is Udio. You should try it. It's more erratic in scales and harmonies, it can sound amazing or terrible alike, but the overall quality is better.

[jackdancer]

Be groovy to use AI for ideas around the harmony of a song and then we just add our own organgic feel to it. This inspires me hearing the lines, using it as a tool isn't scary. Yeah its impressive and picked out some juicy licks but will never replicate the feel in the the music. Be also cool to have the notes displayed for this tune.

Edit: fully man noticed the single note lines and that mad walk. Like most things we've created that are controversial. "To be used and not abused" in the wrong context anyways.

Just give it a few more I already lost significant amount of client on my Fiverr music gig ....
