The march and quality of LLMs for music production continues unabated.
This subject has been oft debated in this forum so I won't bore everyone with a rehash of the arguments for (not many) or against (the majority).
However, I thought it worth briefly highlighting that the availability, and ease, for creating mid-quality music has just got a whole lot wider although the lyrics are a tad naff. As Caesar would say "Let the Games begin!"
FWIW, To my ears the samples “Sweet Like Plantain“ and “Sea Shanty“ sounded not bad on a mid-fi laptop. The one about the socks is plain silly but funny.

Hmmm, another processing plant to manufacture input for Spotify and co.
Ah well, who am I to complain when - as I just learnt watching the winter olympics - that one can get 29 points for a tripple corkscrew and a 360 buttplug (I`m sure that`s what the commentator said) in the slopestyle event.

Wikiloops is an amazing platform to experiment with the styles of music that I never have had the opportunity to vocalize with. Thanks to all the excellent musicians/producers, the sound quality of the tracks are spectacular.
