Someone once said that "Artificial Intelligence will kill Humanity" and looking at the Arts scene specifically it seems they may be right.
Pushing a button and getting a sound (or an image, etc) that may or may not be worth keeping is a totally soulless activity to me.
At any rate testing the A.I. in Spire has not yielded any useful presets yet. Some with tweaking might be made into nice patches but I don't think that was the point. Might as well just start from INIT and learn to program the synth for yourself.
I realize that the A.I. in Spire is "young" and in Beta so may still be learning but so far I'm not impressed. Maybe I need to learn the generator tab more but again what's the point? Why not just learn the synth ?
So unless the A.I. has access to features and parameters that the end user does not then the presets it can make won't be any different or any better than those made by a talented human sound designer who is well familiar with Spire. If I were releasing commercial sound banks I wouldn't be too worried just yet.
Speaking only for myself I'd rather see Spire get features that can expand the range of sounds it can make (user wavetables, more filters, different routings, etc) but I'm sure someone will make use of the A.I. function.
I'm always grateful for updates and new features even if I have no use for them because it means the developer is still involved and working to improve the plugin and that gives me confidence to use the synth into the future.![:tu:]( "Thumbs Up!")
