I know that some monstrous majority of cognitive processing is visual, hence the attention these visually creative models are rightfully getting, but personally I am much more interested in auditory information and would love to see a promptable model for music. Was just listening to "Land Down Under" from Men At Work. Would love to be able to prompt for another artist I have liked: "Tricky playing Land Down Under." I know of various generative music projects, going back decades, and would appreciate pointers, but as far as I am aware we are still some ways from Imagen/Dalle for music?

I believe we’re lacking someone training up a large music model here, but GPT-style transformers can produce music.

gwern can maybe comment here.

An actually scary thing is that AIs are getting okay at reproducing people’s voices.

Voice synthesis has been going steady. Lots of commercial and hobbyist interest: you can use 15.ai for crackerjack SaaS voice synthesis in a slick free UI; and if you want to run the models yourselves, Tortoise just released a FLOSS stack of remarkable quality.

Music, I'm afraid, appears stuck in the doldrums of small one-offs doing stuff like MIDI. Nothing like the breadth & quality of Jukebox has come out since it, even though it's super-obvious that there is a big overhang there and applying diffusion & other new methods would give you something like much like DALL-E 2 / Imagen for general music.

The developer behind Tortoise is experimenting with using diffusion for music generation:
