AI and the future of music

I am a retired professional illustrator. I've painted hundreds of jobs for Disney, Mattel, Dreamworks, Marvel, Universal, etc.

Just a few months ago I was shown images created by an AI program called Stable Diffusion. Some of the images are fantastic, and all created using written negative and positive prompts. Looks like I got out just in time.

Do you realize that we're now all on 'THE LIST', because Big Brother AI has read all these posts...

 

@rettrussell and ibmjunkman

Thanks for the 'Beatles' songs. So unexpected and welcome.

 

 

Here is a blues song ChatGPT just did for me (invested time ten seconds):

(Verse 1)
Well, my baby walked out that door,
Left me stranded, ain’t here no more.
Said she found another man to please,
Now I’m drowning in these lonely seas.

(Chorus)
Oh, my lover done left me, oh, how it hurts,
Tore my heart apart, ground it into dirt.
I’m singing the blues, feeling so blue,
Since my baby said we’re through.

(Verse 2)
I remember the nights, oh, so sweet,
Her touch, her voice, making me complete.
But now she’s gone, ain’t by my side,
I’m left with nothing but tears to hide.

(Chorus)
Oh, my lover done left me, oh, how it hurts,
Tore my heart apart, ground it into dirt.
I’m singing the blues, feeling so blue,
Since my baby said we’re through.

(Bridge)
I tried to hold on, begged her to stay,
But she had her mind made up, she walked away.
Now I’m sitting here, with a whiskey in hand,
Trying to drown the pain, just as fast as I can.

(Verse 3)
The nights are long, and the days are cold,
Without her love, I’m growing old.
But I’ll keep singing, these blues of mine,
Hoping someday, she’ll change her mind.

(Chorus)
Oh, my lover done left me, oh, how it hurts,
Tore my heart apart, ground it into dirt.
I’m singing the blues, feeling so blue,
Since my baby said we’re through.

(Outro)
So, I’ll keep on playing, these sorrowful tunes,
Hoping they’ll reach her, under the moon.
Maybe someday, she’ll come back to me,
And this blues song will set me free.

One point people miss completely especially engineers...

Art history is a mirror reflecting human values choices and reflecting human history of consciouness itself..

A.I. is useful... Arguing the opposite is stupidity...

but the PROBLEM is an educational and societal deep one...

We are not ready for it especially with the big corporate monsters controlling it...

 

The problem is a spiritual one :

how could we recignize ourself as ourself as human" imperfect creature but free, if we loose the ability to look in the mirror of our own art creations because we will not be able to separate them easily from machine design ?

As Geoffrey Hinton put it, A. I. is not PROGRAMMABLE BY US at all AT THE END process of his growth... It is us humnans who begin to be programmed by it the first day it is born... It is done by basic Hinton works and others one year ago, at least Hinton know it others engineers many dont know it as Le Cun  ...

Now the definition of what a "mind" is and his relation to a "material brain " is one problem we already encounter with us confronted to artificial intelligence or A. I.

Now soon the diffference between a human mind and his human brain compared to A. I. "mind" and A. I. brain neural networks will be replaced by a deeper question soon with ARTIFICIAL CONSCIOUSNESS, which are not there now as A. I. is already...But it will conme because the maths is already there...

This A.C. will be autonomous being as in "Blade runner" movie and the basic mathematics behind their design is already written ...

Now it is PHILOSOPHICALLY very deep spiritual question and spiritual responsability as illustrated in the movie ?

What is consciousness , and the difference between artificial consciousness and human or living consciousness of animals ?

The answer in the best way i can put it is this :

The universal consciousness field "light" has a projected  "shade" manifesting to us as an abstract phenomenon in our own mind ... The prime numbers distribution...

This phenomenon is DICOVERED, not invented by humans, and this mathematical phenomenon is the BASIS of mathematic itself, it is the static skelton of the dynamic universal consciousness field...

All natural living consciousness from plants to humans are grounded in "it" as ONE conscuiousness, the prime numbers distributions is INFINITE... It is the most complex phenomenon in all universes which anyway are all finite and ONE universe  at the end..

To create A. C. Anirban in his book :  "Nanobrain: The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal ".

He used a FINITE small number of primes and demonstrated why we need only a finite numbers of primes to do so...

But think about that, all living creatures are grounded by evolution and DNA in the same information/conscious field which is INFINITE ..

Artificial consciousness will not be grounded in this field... No spirit/soul relations..

Artificial consciousness can only do ONE THING : creating a conscious mortal HIVE...One miilion years of life is nothing compared to infinity and  eternity...

 

Why did i say all that here ?

Because we live in a time when we must choose between being humans or negating our own potential and immerging ourself in a dead end...merging with A. I. is completely wrong goal...

Transhumanist religious zealots dont know what they spoke about at all...

i prefer to trust mathematics and spiritual great human souls..

Art is a mirror very precious one... Destructing it with A. I. is a catastrophe so useful A. I. would be and it would be...Big pharma will use A.I. to destruct and control us... Anything else is being naive to the utmost...

 

Art is about soul  expressing and reading not about decoration of living room or about movie design FIRST  ...

 

 

+1 @hilde45 on using AI to end cruelty to living beings.

Also +1 to @hilde45 on music as communication

and +1 to @mahgister on the spiritual dimension (and not trusting Bill Gates).
