"Meta's Free AI Model Transforms Text into Musical Masterpieces"
Meta has released an open-source AI code called AudioCraft, which allows users to create music and sounds using generative AI. The code consists of three AI models, including MusicGen, which generates music from text inputs, and AudioGen, which creates audio from written prompts. Meta believes that AudioCraft could usher in a new wave of music, similar to how synthesizers revolutionized the industry. However, concerns about copyright infringement and bias in training data remain, and it is yet to be seen if machine-made songs can gain popularity beyond being used for elevator music or stock songs.
