yes, never underestimate greed:

 

"The venture capital firm Sequoia Capital estimates that A.I. businesses could eventually produce “trillions of dollars” in economic value."

[botrytis]

I do not trust venture capitalists because I spent my career working with them. 

 

I do not think so. Why? It will put some people out of work, etc. They do not look at the economic impact to workers and the workplace, only the bottom line.

It is indeed. I actually read it earlier. But it's a bird topic so I'm gonna quote it there.

 

I just visited the Metallica thread. After some consideration I will risk a brave thesis - I think AI should compose not only pop music but also try some trash metal, let's give it a chance and see, guys, how about it.?

Very wise! I've always had problems with understanding people who after buying vinyl not only unpack it but also listen to it, after all everyone knows that vinyl sound deteriorates with each playback..

What copyright infringement is possible in pop music like  this?

These are all 5-6 chords based songs, as @The Computer Audiophile once explained me written usually by professional teams of composers, lyricists etc. It's all been played, replayed and slightly modified millions of times. All sounds the same, sad 'emotional' male vocalists, female ones usually sound like idiots without a trace of personality..

IMO such music should be created by AI and all of these artists instead of drinking multi colorful drinks in Hawaii should find themselves another job, eg in a factory, not a hits factory of course  though..

My opinion - why not embarrass pop music fans by making them realize how sophisticated stuff they listen to. But would they care.?

 

I like GPT talking about conveying emotions and feelings..

 

Q: What are the most popular chords and chords progressions in pop music nowadays?

 

GPT:

One common chord progression in pop music is the I-IV-V progression. This progression uses the first, fourth, and fifth chords of the major scale, and is used in countless pop songs. For example, the chords in the chorus of the song "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor follow this progression (Bb - Eb - F).

Another popular chord progression in pop music is the vi-IV-I-V progression. This progression starts with the sixth chord of the major scale, then moves to the fourth, first, and fifth chords. This progression can be heard in songs like "Someone Like You" by Adele (Am - F - C - G) and "Let Her Go" by Passenger (Am - F - C - G).

In terms of individual chords, the major and minor chords are the most commonly used chords in pop music. Some other popular chords in pop music include the seventh chords (such as dominant seventh and major seventh chords) and the suspended chords (such as sus2 and sus4 chords).

Overall, while there may be certain trends in pop music when it comes to chord progressions and chords, the most important thing is to use chords that fit the song and convey the desired emotion or feeling.

 

Ed Sheeran:

 

“Most pop songs can fit over most pop songs … You could go from Let it Be to No Woman, No Cry and switch back,”

 

To put it extremely mildly - pop music isn't go game where the number of possible stone positions is bigger than the number of atoms in the universe.

Amen.

JP Morgan is crediting ChatGPT for the recent stock market rally. In a new note the bank cites interest in artificial intelligence for more than half of the gains in the S&P 500 this year.

According to JP Morgan, 53% of S&P 500 performance, can be attributed to the language learning model innovation companies and in the case of NASDAQ - 54% of the growth.

The moment AI (even better AGI which some claim is closer than anyone thinks) goes into pop music, I'm investing all my savings into it. Will may be even tempted to sell my spare cables for some extra money ;-)

 

But seriously - IMO it's either we control it very wisely or, in particular in case of appearing AGI we might get scr...d up by it really seriously, like let's say an amateur playing chess with Carlsen (that is of course unless we get boiled earlier on this planet..). 

 

 

Anyway before it happens (and I still hope for AI/AGI World Presidency ;-)) maybe we will get some decent AI pop music and not necessarily only pop music.. 

 

Cheers!

This is IMO extremely interesting.

"Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of interpreting and reconstructing human thoughts.
According to a press release from the University of Texas at Austin, the AI was able to get things right approximately 50% of the time. The results, however, aren’t exact.

Realistically speaking, there’s nothing stopping a clever developer (with access to an fMRI machine) from developing an AI system that can read a person's thoughts and record them to the blockchain.

This could lead to a "proof-of-thought" paradigm, wherein perhaps people could mint nonfungible tokens (NFTs) of their thoughts or record immutable ledgers of their feelings and ideas for posterity, legal purposes or just bragging rights.

The impact, for example, of thought-to-blockchain NFT minting could have implications for copywriting and patent applications where the blockchain serves as proof of exactly when a thought or idea was recorded. It could also allow celebrity thinkers such as Nobel laureates or contemporary philosophers to codify their ideas in an immutable record — one that could be commoditized and served as collectible digital assets."

 

Scientists in Texas developed a GPT-like AI system that reads minds

 

Could also be used to prove that eg someone's composition is a fruit of his own creative process, I guess..

I prefer direct human communication rather than thinking about what someone may be thinking. Given that the machine required to read someone's mind with 50% accuracy weighs between 10,000 and 20,000 lbs., I don't think this new ultimate tool of passive aggressively communicating with someone will be as useful as some people think.

Don't be so old-school, Chris, not on this thread..

The so called 'direct' human communication is so imperfect. It's actually rarely direct - you know, self-censorship, lies.. It's so slow - speaking, typing, all of that takes time..

Just imagine really direct 'thought to thought' communication, its speed, straightforwardness, truthfulness..

Just imagine, having a brilliant thought which immediately is immortalized in a blockchain and patented. Someone else having the same idea 5 min later - sorry boy, you're late..

Just imagine a customer of an audio shop listening to let's say 2 audio systems without a need to say anything.. And the dealer saying immediately after that (after Audio AI analyzed everything the customer thought about while listening to the music) - I tend to agree with you sir, the bass could be better controlled, highs smoother and more detailed and also soundstaging a tad better than in those 2 systems, our latest AI based on your impressions proposes in such circumstances a system consisting of components X, Y and Z. It also suggests that you might be not satisfied with a traditional stereo in the long run and strongly suggests an Atmos system.. 😎

@botrytis and all old-school analogue guys.. 😉

 

Of Geoffrey Hinton who recently quit Google to warn of the dangers of artificial intelligence:

 

"Once he accepted that we were building intelligences with the potential to outthink humanity, the more alarming conclusions followed. “I thought it would happen eventually, but we had plenty of time: 30 to 50 years. I don’t think that any more. And I don’t know any examples of more intelligent things being controlled by less intelligent things – at least, not since Biden got elected.

“You need to imagine something more intelligent than us by the same difference that we’re more intelligent than a frog. And it’s going to learn from the web, it’s going to have read every single book that’s every been written on how to manipulate people, and also seen it in practice."

He now thinks the crunch time will come in the next five to 20 years, he says. “But I wouldn’t rule out a year or two. And I still wouldn’t rule out 100 years – it’s just that my confidence that this wasn’t coming for quite a while has been shaken by the realisation that biological intelligence and digital intelligence are very different, and digital intelligence is probably much better.”

There is a new thread on which many offend GPT and accuse it of many things..

 

 

All I can do is to repeat once again:

 

Chat GPT for president!  

 

Hereby I will prove that it's the only solution that makes sense.

 

I asked GPT:

Create 10 commandments for contemporary times based on universal values not religious ones.

 

GPT:

• Treat others with respect and kindness, as you would like to be treated.
• Value diversity and celebrate differences, recognizing that every individual is unique and deserving of equal respect and opportunities.
• Take responsibility for your actions and decisions, understanding that they have an impact on yourself and others.
• Be honest and transparent in your dealings with others, avoiding deceit and manipulation.
• Strive for excellence in all that you do, seeking to constantly improve yourself and the world around you.
• Practice empathy and compassion, seeking to understand the perspectives and experiences of others.
• Be mindful of the environment, seeking to minimize your impact on the planet and protect its natural resources.
• Honor the rights and freedoms of others, including their right to express themselves, worship as they choose, and live free from discrimination.
• Build meaningful relationships with others, cultivating connection and community.
• Foster a spirit of generosity and altruism, seeking to contribute to the well-being of others and society as a whole.

 

Now.. show me a single politician whose actions are in accordance with these (IMO making deep sense) commandments..

 

And in addition knows that audio cables matter!
