TikTok Is Testing an AI-Based Song Generation Feature

TikTok's trying another generative AI feature now, as the app will nudge some users to try its new "AI Song," which sounds to be just what the title promises-it generates original music based on text prompts, for accompanying your clips.
TikTok's new "AI Song" feature delivers the basics for generating original music through the text command in the app.
This, according to TikTok:.

AI Song is an experimental feature on TikTok that uses AI to create songs based on prompts you enter. 

According to TikTok, the lyric generation capabilities through this tool are powered by Bloom, described by that firm as the world's largest, open multilingual language model. The Bloom dataset contains more than 176 billion parameters and has the capacity to generate text in 46 languages.

So you'd expect a pretty wide range of lyrical options, which should translate to coming up with some better lines than: "Fulfilling my desires/iPhone eleven glide."

Though that song is catchy, maybe there's something to it.

The choice actually seems to be an extension of TikTok owner ByteDance's earlier AI music project - a standalone app called Ripple, which it launched in a few countries last year.
It lets users hum or sing into the app a melody. It uses a machine-learning backbone to generate more track pieces around the initial input.
ByteDance is apparently employing the same music-creation backbone to fuel this new tool, which will probably aid in more TikTok creators piecing together random viral hits-or at least unique music to use to play over their videos.

But if it is to be extended in business profiles, it may also provide the copyright-free way of adding a sound effect to your clips.

Generative AI can totally disrupt the stock content industry, by providing unique, copyright-free content that you can use freely, however, in whatever way you choose, and many websites are already using AI generated images. And with tools like this incoming, it seems that stock audio will be another area set to be disrupted, though it does depend on just how good the outputs are via the tool.

But even if they're not great, it points to another area of AI development, which will become a bigger consideration over time.

There'll be numerous copyright battles to come, especially as more AI content is produced that looks or sounds similar to established artists.

But for now, at least, the potential here is significant.

TikTok's AI Song option is available to selected users in the initial test pool at present.
