Guys, can we please call it LLM and not a vague advertising term that changes its meaning on a whim?
For some weird reason, I don't see AI amp modelling being advertised despite neural amp modellers exist. However, the very technology that was supposed to replace the guitarists (Suno, etc) are marketed as AI.
I think that's because in the first case, the amp modeller is only replacing a piece of hardware or software they already have. It doesn't do anything particularly "intelligent" from the perspective of the user, so I don't think using "AI" in the marketing campaign would be very effective. LLMs and photo generators have made such a big splash in the popular consciousness that people associate AI with generative processes, and other applications leave them asking, "where's the intelligent part?"
In the second case, it's replacing the human. The generative behaviors match people's expectations while record label and streaming company MBAs cream their pants at the thought of being able to pay artists even less.
Is there anything like suno that can be locally hosted?
You might be interested in YUEGP.
Wouldn't it be OCR in this case? At least the scanning?
Yes, but the LLM does the writing. Someone probably carelessly copy pasta'd some text from OCR.
Fair enough, though another possibility I see is that the automated training process for LLMs used OCR for those papers (Or an already existing text version in the internet was using bad OCR) and those papers with the mashed word were written partially or fully by an LLM.
Either way, the blanket term "AI" sucks and it's honestly getting kind of annoying. Same with how much LLMs are used.
