Washed Out “The Hardest Part” – Made with OpenAI’s Sora
How to make music with AI using Udio
There’s something quite alluring about trying to create art in a form you’re less familiar with. AI music is the latest canvas in this space.

OpenAI built a voice cloning tool, but you can’t use it… yet
As deepfakes proliferate, OpenAI is refining the tech used to clone voices — but the company insists it’s doing so responsibly.

AI Song generates songs from text prompts with help from the large language model Bloom. Users can write out lyrics on the text field when making a post. TikTok will then recommend AI Song to add sounds to the post, and they can toggle the song’s genre. – Read More
