Stop listening to CEOs. They are fucking morons. And in this case I would argue his sentiment is corrupt and bias. He just wants to push his shitty product by down playing instrumentalists.
No AI will ever replace an artist like Prince. I’ll wipe my ass with any of this AI garbage.
I think people need to stop using the term 'AI' for everything a computer does to simulate thought or creativity. AI algorithms are basically large scale piracy machines capable of scanning the entirety of human art so that it can create a reasonable imitation based off the source material its consumed. Its strength is in its ability to internally pursue, and fail, billions of potential outcomes and come to one that meets the criteria its been givien within seconds or minutes. Instead of a million monkeys at a million typewriters, its like a quadrillion monkeys, and they're all on adderall.
The truth is that it never understood the source material. It doesn't feel anything from it, it doesn't comprehend it. Everything that it does is derived from the material used for training and the instructions its received. If thats the case then we're talking about Virtual Intelligence, not true AI or AGI, and I think thats an important distinction. I'm also surprised that more lawyers and copyright holders don't feel that way.
I am counting the days until we see a tech giant’s legal team argue that this is how human artists work, and that the AIs must therefore be people with rights just like their corporate parents.
I would say I hate putting this idea out into the universe, but you know plenty of those ghouls are way ahead of me.
I wouldn't wipe mine with AI Music. Using a hard drive to wipe sounds painful.
What about an optical disk? You can use it to scrape most of it off.
I wouldn't want to risk it shattering, personally.
What about magnetic tape? You can use it to floss your ass
