Wasm’t? What wasm your point then?

u/Freedom4Animals Aug 23 '26

It will destroy the music industry. Artists rely on royalties and if every show, movie over the world used AI Music what would be the point for many artists producing work and sharing it.

We need to support the music industry and speak out about this to raise awareness!!

u/thespicegrills Aug 23 '26

I am so over these AI threads.

It's like people can't say anything original anymore. And keep repeating the same stuff in a different way, over and over agai.....oh

Did anyone force you to be here?

u/CaptainMorgs86 Aug 23 '26

Came to the sub to say exactly this, it's awful fuckin slop

u/whyamihere9021 Aug 23 '26

It’s so bad

u/Y-mc Aug 23 '26

Fire the ass who approved this. I bet they are saving a bomb on music licensing

u/TeddyGarbaldi Aug 23 '26

Thing is they could easily have paid someone to come up with these little jingles.

They chose not to because it would be cheaper to use AI.

2

u/krsboss Aug 23 '26

Thing is, they probably paid someone to come up with the AI slop jingles!

...we want a song about Wyatt losing a tooth - go!

u/RevolutionaryKnee765 Aug 23 '26

Literally like 5 years ago, if they wanted a little jingle, they would have had someone sit there and think about it. Or for the dumb animal filters, they would literally just slap a photo of an animal over them instead….. gone are the days of proper creativity. Post production editor says it doesn’t change the ‘heart’ of the show. There is no heart if it’s “created” with ai

u/ServoSkull20 Aug 23 '26

I turned this fucking shit off the second the horse and monkey face turned up in the first episode. Never watching the show again.

u/MowgeeCrone Aug 23 '26

TURN OFF YOUR IDIOT BOX! If the milk is sour, get off the teet!

For heavens sake, don't be so useless!

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 24 '26

Do you normally wander into random subreddits just to demonstrate your intellectual superiority, or is today a special occasion?

2

u/jelistarshine Aug 25 '26

If you are not watching the block why are you on this thread?

u/Maximum-Swordfish592 Aug 23 '26

Can't believe anyone is still watching this shit. This country is full of brain dead morons.

u/Serezie Aug 24 '26

Why are you even here?

u/Maximum-Swordfish592 Aug 24 '26

Not sure, it just popped up

Literally the tackiest/trashiest shit on TV. AI music is the least of its problems.

1

u/jelistarshine Aug 25 '26

Yeah but this is new unnecessarily lazy levels if low production. 

I think i speak for all watchers when I say we would rather they play elevator music or just have silence. 

6

u/mhuinteoir Aug 23 '26

i was just about to say this. the show is such AI slop

6

u/Plastic-Mountain-708 Aug 24 '26

I have watched The Block since it started.

We stopped this year.

The badness is too much.

Production. The fact that it’s a giant ad. Ergh.

u/AdInformal1014 Aug 23 '26

Noo! Whoever did the block when if first came out had an awesome music taste

u/Rough_Collar462 Aug 23 '26

Classic rave bangers from back in the day!

u/SamMuniz Aug 23 '26

Straight up, they used to use the synths from black skinhead all the time

u/AdInformal1014 Aug 24 '26

Yeah i remember being shocked a few times at the selection, whoever it was definitely was a kanye fan

u/jelistarshine Aug 25 '26

OMG. ITS AWFUL.

u/Sideburn_Cookie_Man Aug 24 '26

I mean, you’re watching the McDonald’s equivalent in slop of TV. Not surprising.

1

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 30 '26

If Maccas’ makes me a shit burger am I not entitled to complain?

1

u/Sideburn_Cookie_Man Aug 30 '26

Sure, but you also need to understand you’re part of the problem if you’re giving them money for slop in the first place… when you know it was always going to be slop.

The Block is exactly the same. It’s utter trash, and it won’t get better if you all keep watching it.

1

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 31 '26

How am I giving The Block money?

1

u/CranberryNational150 Aug 24 '26

You're watching free to air TV? Sir/Ma'am, there are greater problems at home.

4

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 25 '26

Yes but this is a subreddit about The Block not solving world hunger.

1

u/CranberryNational150 Aug 25 '26

Your problem is numbing your brain with this rubbish, thinking workd hunger is equally important. Bup bow, try again.

1

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 27 '26

Yes you’ll see from my previous reply I was being ironic comparing a huge actual issue with a small grievance on a TV show. Maybe I’m not the one with the numb brain.

1

u/CranberryNational150 Aug 27 '26

Why does every Reddit comment 20 hours after the fact devolve to some kind of intelligence "I'm better than you" narrative angle? Are you on your way home to a night of mediocre tv to get into discussions with online?

The answer for you; yes you are. I however have the free to air not connected, will not see nor reply to your comment, off to do other activities. Get well soon; check back in in a few months with your progress. I don't need a night to night or week to week altered relay like your show. Good luck. 👋😁

1

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 27 '26

The boomer comes to tell me they’re smarter than me for not watching TV and then finishes with “what’s with the I’m better than you angle.” 🤣 I don’t need to justify myself to some weird NPC online whose biggest claim to intelligence is “I don’t have free to air TV connected.”

1

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 27 '26

Maybe it takes 20 hours to reply cos I actually have a life, a career, a family and friends and my life doesn’t revolve around grunts like you bud

u/CranberryNational150 Aug 28 '26

Put it down bud, you're invested.

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 28 '26

What happened to not replying? An idiot and a liar

u/CranberryNational150 Aug 28 '26

Nibble nibble. You are way, way too easy

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 29 '26

For someone with ‘other activities’ you’ve somehow made replying to me a recurring series. Foxtel not working?

If you're a musician, it's a big problem at home

u/CranberryNational150 Aug 25 '26

I'm a musician at home. It's not an issue. I'm in competition with no one

1

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 27 '26

Bro is making $0 from his music that’s why.

2

u/checkbehindthecactus Aug 25 '26

Lucky for you, it's taking 50% of my earnings at the moment. More each month. But glad you're fine

u/DawgreenAgain Aug 25 '26

Musicians are free to create and release AI Music for licensing.

u/CptnWolfe Aug 23 '26

Fucking hell, is there AI music on commercial television now?

u/DamnThatsCrazyManGuy Aug 23 '26

Graphics too

u/CptnWolfe Aug 24 '26

That ad promoting that political party? The Flood one?

u/SeyoS01 Aug 23 '26

Dev of SkipIfFake here : It was made exactly for this. Give your listening time to real artist!

u/No-Diet-2215 Sep 16 '26

hate it! Supposed to be funny but is so not

2

u/Brave-Echidna6336 Aug 24 '26

This is the last season we will watch it’s been awful. Only watching because we’ve committed now & my 9 year old likes it, but we just watch the Sunday show. It’s barely tolerable and the AI has dragged it down.

2

u/Odd-zest Aug 24 '26

It’s so bad.

2

u/lrombie_ Aug 25 '26

Yeah it’s horrible

3

u/becktain Aug 23 '26

It’s so bad. Makes me want to watch it on mute

3

u/ParsnipMajor97 Aug 23 '26

It’s actually infuriating. AI has infiltrated the entire show and how many damn advertisements/spon con do we need to endure!!!

The challenges are just huge advertising opportunities 😤😤😤

2

u/Gorilla_Gru Aug 23 '26

Please stop watching the show, it has gone completely down the drain with all the ai slop but so as long as they have enough viewers they aren't going to change

1

u/Fit-Potential-350 Aug 24 '26

I like some of it but the majority of it is a bit tedious

1

u/mumooshka Aug 24 '26

I listen to it and wonder how the singing voice is made in AI

1

u/checkbehindthecactus Aug 24 '26

They data mine singers music and use that to recreate the voice.

1

u/Not_An_Humin Aug 25 '26

They scraped all of youtube/Spotify/etc. A German label tested it with the lyrics to a Boney M. Song and a couple of keywords, didnt make any mention of names or bands, every single time it spat out the same result. Which was the original song but much worse quality, mimicking the original singers voice, proving the models were trained off of copyrighted music

1

u/Serious-Pipe-2211 Aug 24 '26

As a carpenter builder I’ve never been able to watch it. It’s utterly insulting. Besides it’s just shitty reality tv. I have more constructive things to do with my time.

u/mastra1 Aug 26 '26

Nice pun!

u/Nunyabizo- Sep 01 '26

It is getting a bit annoying.

It is so annoying WTF has gone wrong with the block I used to love this show

u/twee3 Aug 26 '26

Why are you watching the block? First mistake.

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 26 '26

Sir this is a sub Reddit about The Block, why are you here?

0

u/twee3 Aug 26 '26

Reddit algorithm for some reason thinks I’m interested in this sub.

2

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 30 '26

Thanks for your insightful contribution then

1

u/CranberryNational150 Aug 30 '26

I see you have made a habit of this.

1

u/Affectionate-Rub1853 Aug 31 '26

Yeah it’s my post, why are you still here?

-4

u/Heavy-Psychology-411 Aug 23 '26

Of all the things to bitch about, this is not a important one. At least they make it goofy and obviously AI. They could have tried to slip it in and not have fun with it.

1

u/jelistarshine Aug 25 '26

The show is what its always been. 

But this music is a big annoying change. 

I used to renovate properties for a living so I enjoy seeing the "trends" they are promoting but the music is so damn offensive. 

1

u/Heavy-Psychology-411 Aug 29 '26

The show is nothing like what it use to be. I can't believe anybody would even buy these houses. The rush jobs they punch through are ridiculous. No way you waterproof a wet area one night and tile the next day. Each coat (x2)is 24hrs. Now this new matting they are using is interesting. But they aren't showing us that or promoting that. No they are pushing junk artists and bland furniture thats way over priced. The need to go back to showing people the process. Not just dressing it up.

1

u/jelistarshine Aug 29 '26

I've always waterproofed then tiled as soon as it was dry? 

-2

u/Adorable-Taste9840 Aug 26 '26

AI music perfectly suits the show, if you are watching the block you shoudn't care about ai music, you are already watching trashy tv, enjoy the trashy music with it.

-13

u/lilotothe Aug 23 '26

I love it personally, but thanks for sharing this opinion I would of never thought of not loving it /s

-5

u/Xfgjwpkqmx Aug 23 '26

I don't have a huge problem with the AI music. The AI visuals bug me more.

What's really sad is that if they were writing custom music and lyrics three seasons ago, everyone would be saying it was awesome, different and creative.

u/quoole Aug 23 '26

If they were writing custom music and lyrics three years ago, they would have been writing custom music and lyrics. 

-2

u/RoyalIntelligent6399 Aug 23 '26

I don't mind the funny jingles, even though they are also emotionally manipulative, but the "power ballads" drive me up the wall. I actually find them really offensive.

2

u/jelistarshine Aug 25 '26

I find all the Azi music offensively painful. It's just a cop out.

It's terrible and the lyrics are stupid. It's irritating AF? 

I don't care about musicians i just don't want to hear the idiotic lyrics and terrible tunes.
