How many Lemmy users are non-technical background? (programming.dev)

I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

I'm a music composer and currently learning deep learning to help me compose music and arrange it. I don't know if I should consider myself as a non-tech person or not.

I think deep learning is quite technical, so... :)

I am very interested to know what exactly you're learning for deep learning, as that phrasing can be taken a couple of ways. Are you learning how to use an already-existant technology that can be used for musical composition, or are you learning how to create a deep-learning musical composition system from the ground up?

While both can be considered very impressive, the latter is both more impressive, and extremely inefficient if all you want to do is musical composition.

Mostly, I use deep learning for generating music in my own style. However, there are times when I want to stem classic songs, which can be very challenging. This is because known stemming AI, such as Demucs, is designed to separate modern music instruments only.
