In my short span of writing about artificial intelligence (AI), I have seen its use in various industries and sectors. However, an AI live streaming bass solo till the end of time? Well, that is a first for me.
How Does it Work?
Now, for the unaware, a recurrent neural network is a kind of a machine learning model that identifies music patterns, predicts the most common elements, and then reproduces them in its own way. So, Carr and Zukowski trained this model on bass materials by Neely to start a never-ending live stream of unlimited bass solos.
The duo, following a few initial trials, limited the training dataset to fast-paced bass playing. This is because the RNN is more efficient in identifying faster tempos. As a result, the quality of the live stream improved by many folds and, according to the Dadabots team, this helped the AI to generate more exciting bass playing.
