"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

In Sonora, no login is required. You can filter AI music results from YouTube and search and listen (without interruptions) by artist (YouTube Music), mood, or genre. The platform makes an auto mix. It is mainly focused on desktop use via web app, Chrome extension, or Firefox add-on. You can also use it as a PWA app on Android if you use Chrome. It works as a search platform and also as a chatbot where you can request more information about an artist or check similar artists. I use it every day and I don’t miss Spotify.

I think it’s cool if you’re looking for a free alternative with no login required and anonymous browsing, and you can find everything because it uses YouTube Music’s catalog for artists.

It is also a non-profit project for promoting indie artists. We are musicians and we know it is really difficult to get heard on the main streaming platforms, so the idea is to select new artists and promote them above the results of mainstream artists and genres. We also give them a PWA app for their music. The idea is to change the artists’ model, which we think is not fair. Sonora is in beta version (although it already has global recurring users every day) and we will add more features in the future. All feedback is welcome.

It Is really a normal search engine, looks like a chatbot.

This looks promising, will look it up next time digging yt for new music. Lately it's been a pain in the ass finding instrumental or no lyrics songs, more than half the results are slop. The only way you got to know it's not slop before listening is if the publication date is 2+ years old

i think this is also used in Sonora. The 2 + years old for generic query
