    …This is a live concert for thousands of people that pay to see a hologram sing and dance. Yes, of course it’s in Japan. It’s one of their major pop stars.

    *edit: Holy hell there’s a lot of you getting butt hurt over Miku.

    Well that kind of proves the actual point I was making, which wasn’t attacking “your precious”. It’s that if AI does it well, tons of people are going to lap it up. They’re asking for this.

      The songs are still written and composed by humans, only the performance is Virtual, and even then they are mocapped. It’s more akin to vtubers rather than AI

        I played around with the vocaloid software a few years ago and that shit is fucking complicated.

        It’s not just dragging a midi file in and hitting play, you have to hand sculpt every syllable and every fricative throughout the entire performance. It can take literal days when you account for all of the backing tracks and everything else.

        Add in synchronizing that to a video and doing all of the mocap and digital effects compositing for that fuck that noise.
