shared a link post in group #Tunes
Since ChatGPT’s launch caught Google off guard, the Mountain View, Calif., giant has caught up—and lately has displayed an unending restlessness. Just this week, it put the #Tunes industry directly in its sights, releasing a new feature within its Gemini chatbot that can produce 30-second music tracks, with custom lyrics and audio. This follows recent advancements in Gemini’s ability to create images and other updates that have pushed it into front-runner status among the chatbots. The new music feature should scare the bejesus out of Spotify and the handful of startups working on #Artificial Intelligence music, including Suno, Udio and Klay, which have raised about $400 million altogether. Sure, Google doesn’t have a history as a major player in music, and its YouTube Music service is seldom thought about. But things are as topsy-turvy as they’ve ever been right now, and don’t forget: Google has just done a deal to supply Apple with AI technology. And Apple sure does have a lengthy background with music. So maybe Apple Music stops being an also-ran behind Spotify by leaning on Google AI—which, yes, is something like an oboist finally beating out a violinist for a primo solo.
