AI and the future of music

I meant as a consumer of music, the origin of the music doesn’t much matter from an enjoyment of the sound.

But the rest of the post was my critique of AI from an ethical, and practical, standpoint.

Just because AI can create music or other art does not necessarily mean it will be good or popular. But if some of it is, I'm good with that; after all, AI was invented by people. 

I thought the 60 minutes AI segment was very good.  The science fiction crowd will focus in on the destruction on mankind, while the science crowd will cheer the ability to perform 1 billion PHD man hours of research in a week.  This morning I was reading of some lawsuits launched against Meta and Google for copywrite infringement  as material has been absorbed, incorporated and copied by the AI learning process.  Interesting arguments.  The sad reality is that the criminal element will always exploit any advancement in technology to their advantage and our detriment.  The future will be different but that doesn't always mean better?

Do you think Geoffrey Hinton quit his job at  Google for fun ? Hinton was the genius , the man who designed this neural networks thirty years ago as they are now , do you think he quit his job and speak that A. I. is a danger for us all for  the thrill of making the news ; do you think he think as you  : " i am good with that, because A. I. was invented by people" ?

😊

great post thanks...

Just a word about Hinton : he is not a science fiction writer...

Exactly right because apart from the spiritual stakes in this game, there is a power stakes, and we know what big corporations annihilated  freedom in the last three years...

Imagine now they control A. I. ?

do you trust the like of Bill Gates ?

I dont think so... As i say i am optimistic... Criminal corparations will cease to exist in thirty years... If not we will all die..

The sad reality is that the criminal element will always exploit any advancement in technology to their advantage and our detriment. The future will be different but that doesn’t always mean better?
