UFenix Flexin waziwa kakhulu ngokuba yilungu leqembu le-rap laseLos Angeles iShoreline Mafia. Nokho, muva nje uthole impumelelo enkulu emsebenzini wakhe womculo eyedwa ngengoma ethi 《Rubberz》, esikhuphukele endaweni yama-58 ohlwini lweBillboard Hot 100.
Nokho, cishe ngokushesha nje lapho le ngoma isidumile, kwaqala ukungabazeka ngokuthi yadalwa kanjani. Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi le ngoma yenziwe kakhulu, noma mhlawumbe ngokuphelele, yi-AI. UFenix uziphikile lezi zinsolo, kodwa impendulo yakhe ayibonakali iqedile ukungabaza komphakathi.
Okunye kwalokhu kusola kubangelwa ushintsho olukhulu lwesitayela sale ngoma. Esikhathini esidlule uFenix wayegxile ku-rap yaseWest Coast ethonywe umculo we-trap, kanti 《Rubberz》 yona ithonywe ngokusobala umculo we-synth-pop waseBrithani wama-1980. Umculo wezwi kule ngoma ukhumbuza kakhulu isitayela sikaMorrissey, futhi uFenix usebenzisa nendlela yokuphimisa efana nesisho saseBrithani.
Nokho, abaculi banalo ilungelo lokuzama izinkomba nezitayela ezintsha. Ushintsho lwesitayela lulodwa alukwazi ukufakazela ukuthi kukhona okungalungile.
Okuphawuleka kakhulu yikhwalithi yokuqoshwa kwengoma uqobo. Uma uyilalela ngokucophelela, uzwa ukungajwayelekile namaphutha amaningi avame ukubonakala emculweni owenziwe yi-AI. Isibonelo, umsindo we-hi-hat unokuzwakala okunjengokuqhekeka, amazwi ekhwaya azwakala njengefayela le-MP3 eline-bitrate ephansi, kanti imisindo egcina i-reverb ivame ukunqamuka ngokuzumayo.
UCharlie Harding, ongomunye wabasakazi be-podcast ethi 《Switched on Pop》 futhi ongumbhali wezingoma, ukhombe lezi zimpawu ngesikhathi exoxa neThe Verge. Uthe: “Amazwi ahambisana nawo anjengezithunzi avele noma anyamalale ngokuzumayo ngaphandle kwephethini. I-reverb yezigubhu igcwele ukuhlanekezela kwedijithali okungekhona okwemvelo, okukhumbuza amafayela e-MP3 angu-64kbps alandwe kuNapster. Njengoba izinkampani eziningi ze-generative AI ziqeqesha amamodeli azo zisebenzisa ama-MP3 asezingeni eliphansi nezinto ezinelungelo lobunikazi ezingagunyaziwe, sizwa imisindo yezinsimbi eyehliswe ikhwalithi ngokusobala.”
Ukufaka le ngoma kumathuluzi okuhlola umculo we-AI akuzange kunikeze ubufakazi obunqumayo. Abahleli beThe Verge basebenzise amathuluzi amahlanu ahlukene, kwatholakala ukuthi amathuba okuthi le ngoma yenziwe yi-AI noma okungenani yasizwa yi-AI aphakathi kuka-20% no-30%.
Nokho, la mathuluzi okuhlola ngokwawo awathembekile ngaso sonke isikhathi, futhi ukuthuthuka kwawo kusasele kakhulu emuva kwamamodeli akhiqiza umculo we-AI.
Kodwa ezinye izinto ezihlobene nale ngoma zadonsa ukunaka kwamathuluzi okuhlola i-AI. Isibonelo, isithombe sekhava yale ngoma kanye nokuthunyelwe ezinkundleni zokuxhumana okugubha impumelelo yayo, kutholakale ngamathuluzi amaningi okuhlola izithombe ze-AI njengokwenziwe yi-AI ngezinga lokuzethemba elingaphezu kuka-97%.
Ngokufanayo, umbhali wafaka amazwi engoma kumathuluzi amaningi okuhlola imibhalo ye-AI kanye nakuGemini, futhi wonke athi la mazwi anezimpawu zokubhalwa yi-AI. Umdidiyeli nomsebenzisi we-YouTube uCurtiss King naye wafaka amazwi kuClaude, naye owathola izimpawu eziningi ezisolisayo zokwenziwa yi-AI.
La mazwi abonisa isici esivame ukuvela ku-AI: “ukusondela ebubini obungenangqondo ngokomqondo”. Indlela yokwenza imilolozelo ilula futhi iqondile, into engajwayelekile kumrapper osevele enekhono elithile.
Amazwi cishe awanawo amamilolozelo asondelene noma angaphakathi. Kunalokho, asebenzisa njalo isakhiwo esiyisisekelo semilolozelo ye-AA, BB, egxile kakhulu ekuhleleni ukuphela kwemigqa kunencazelo yangempela noma ukuthuthuka kwendaba.
Ngokwesibonelo:
“Swipin’ cards and stackin’ chips, I saw you sinkin’ ships”
“Left me standin’ in the pourin’ rain, now I bought a heavy diamond chain”
（Ukuswayipha amakhadi nokuqongelela ama-chip, ngakubona ucwilisa imikhumbi.）
（Wangishiya ngimi emvuleni enkulu, manje sengithenge iketango elisindayo lamadayimane.）
Umqondo wokuthi “Ubani ocwilisa umkhumbi? Ingabe yithi leyo mikhumbi?” awuphindanga uvele futhi, futhi amazwi awawandisi noma awachaze.
Ngokufanayo, imigqa eyodwa yekhwaya ibonakala inencazelo, kodwa uma ihlanganiswa ayinakho ukuhambisana okunengqondo:
“Bankrolls on the table”
“Watchin’ local cable”
“Hatin’ that I'm able”
“Hatin’ that I'm able”
（Imali eningi isetafuleni）
（Ukubuka ithelevishini yasendaweni）
（Ukuzonda ukuthi ngiyakwazi ukukwenza）
（Ukuzonda ukuthi ngiyakwazi ukukwenza）
Ngaphandle komugqa othi “local cable” obonakala uqine kakhulu futhi ungokwemvelo kancane, amazwi ashiya neminye imibuzo: Yini ngempela uFenix akwazi ukuyenza? Kungani ezonda lokho? Imibuzo ephakanyiswa amazwi miningi kunem Antworten awo.
Indlela le ngoma eculwa ngayo nayo iyamangaza.
Ingxenye yesithathu yamazwi ibonakala ima ngokuzumayo emgqeni othi “Not the jewelry”. UHarding uthi le ngoma “ayikwazi nhlobo ukugeleza kahle”.
Uthe: “Ayikho irapper esezingeni elamukelekayo ongacula amazwi esihloko athi ‘I just let the rubber band snap’ ngale ndlela eyihlazo. Ukwehlukaniswa kwesigqi sayo akujwayelekile kakhulu, futhi zonke izigcizelelo ziwela ezindaweni ezingalungile.”
Wachaza futhi: “Ngenxa yokuthi kufakwe izinhlamvu eziningi kakhulu, ingoma kufanele igcizelele igama elithi ‘the’ esikhundleni selithi ‘rubber’, okwenza zonke izinhlamvu ezilandelayo zigqame ngesigqi esingeyona esemvelo.”
“Ukudlala” bukhoma kwe《Rubberz》 nakho akusizanga uFenix ukuba abalekele lezi zinsolo. Ezikhathini zokuqala zokudlala esitudiyo, kwatholakala ukuthi lo rapper udlala ngomlomo ngendlela eyihlazo. Ngezinye izikhathi, isigqi namazwi angajwayelekile kule ngoma kwakubonakala kumenza naye angakwazi ukulandela, sengathi akasazikhumbuli izingoma zakhe.
Eqinisweni, akazange abonakale ezama ngokwanele ukufakazela ukuthi ngempela uyayicula le ngoma.
Lapho uFenix eqala ukucula ngempela, izinkinga zazibonakala nakakhulu. Amavidiyo amaningi okudlala bukhoma abonisa ukuthi akakwazi ukuphinda ibanga lezwi kanye nesisho esizwakala enguqulweni eqoshiwe, futhi kubonakala sengathi akawakhumbuli namazwi. Ezingxenyeni eziningi zokusakaza bukhoma, noma ngabe uyacula, okusadlala empeleni yinguqulo yokuqala eqoshiwe. Izwi lakhe langempela lehliswe kakhulu, kanti uDJ wayeyehlisa ngamabomu ithrekhi ehambisana nomculo isikhashana, ezama ukufakazela ukuthi le ngoma iyiqiniso, kodwa umphumela wawungagculisi.
UFenix wazivikela. Uthe umehluko phakathi kwenguqulo eqoshiwe nokudlala bukhoma ubangelwa kakhulu ubuchwepheshe bokucubungula amazwi obufana ne-AutoTune.
Nokho, uHarding, uCurtiss King kanye nomhlaziyi womculo uAnthony Fantano baphakathi kwabantu abaningi abaphikise le ncazelo.
UKing ufanise i-AutoTune “nethuluzi lokuhlola isipelingi”. Nakuba i-AutoTune ingasetshenziswa ngokweqile ukuze kwakheke umsindo werobhothi oyingqayizivele, umsebenzi wayo oyinhloko ukulungisa amaphutha ephimbo, hhayi ukwandisa ibanga lezwi lomculi noma ukudala isisho esisha.
UFantano uveze ukuthi i-AutoTune ayikwazi ukunikeza umculi ikhono lezwi angenalo ngokwemvelo.
Mhlawumbe ubufakazi obuqine kakhulu obusekela umbono wokuthi 《Rubberz》 ayenziwanga yi-AI ukuthi “imbi ngendlela i-AI ebingeke ibe ngayo”. UHarding uthe: “Ngingacabanga ukuthi umbhali wale ngoma kungenzeka ukuthi akakaze asebenzise enye into ngaphandle ‘kwekhibhodi yokuzilolonga yezingane yama-80s’ ukwenza ingoma.”
Uma le ngoma yenziwe ngempela yi-generative AI, kusobala ukuthi kusetshenziswe imodeli ebuthaka.
Uthe: “Okungikhathazayo ukuthi abalaleli bangacabanga ukuthi le ngoma, eyenziwe yinkampani yomculo we-generative AI esezingeni eliphansi isebenzisa imodeli embi, iyajabulisa. Amamodeli athuthuke kakhulu aseyenze inqubekelaphambili enkulu ekunciphiseni amaphutha omsindo abonakalayo nasekulungiseni isigqi esingajwayelekile samazwi.”
UFenix wake washicilela izingxenye ayethi zingamafayela ephrojekthi ePro Tools, kodwa lokho kukodwa akufakazeli lutho. Ngaphandle kokwabelana ngamafayela okuqoshwa okuqala kanye namafayela aphelele ephrojekthi, ukungabaza ngokuthi 《Rubberz》 yenziwe yi-AI cishe ngeke kuphele.
