AI MUSIC: FRENEMIES FOR THE MOMENT

The music professional are announcing that the future of music is with AI, but as a new tool.

The idea is furthered by the claim that rock 'n' roll would not exist without the electric guitar. Without the Roland TB-303 [bass synthesizer] or the Roland TR-909 drum machine, there would not be any acid housemusic. Without the sampler, there would be no hip-hop.

Furthermore, well-known producers and musicians, like David Guetta, are adding that nothing will ever be able to match taste. This world-famous DJ declares: ”What makes someone an artist is that they have specific tastes and certain emotions they want to portray, and they will use all the tools of the modern world to do so.”

The artist Grimes, who is also the mother of Elon’s children, asked musicians to use AI to clone her voice to produce new songs:

"Split 50% royalties on any successful AI-generated song that uses my voice, The same terms apply to any artist I collaborate with. No restrictions apply while using my voice.”

Her announcement was made when she was already working on a program "that should simulate my voice well," but she also takes into consideration others by releasing a cappella songs for users to use as training data for their own software. Fans already posted links to songs they had written using her own vocals as soon as she made the announcement.

The Canadian musician expressed excitement about being a guinea pig for the technology and added, "I think it's cool to be fused with a machine." The music industry is trying to figure out how to respond to a wave of AI songs made using the voices of artists. In April, Universal Music produced a song called Heart On My Sleeve, which featured deep-faked vocals from their artists Drake and The Weeknd. This is surprisingly without their consent. Very embarrassed, Universal had to take it down pretty fast from streaming services.

In recent months, TikTok has seen an increase in the number of AI-generated songs that have gone viral, as fans have altered existing songs to sound like they were performed by a different artist.

An AI program that attempted to produce a song "in the style of Nick Cave" received a harsh critique from a very skeptical Nick Cave himself. The musician referred to the outcomes as "a travesty" and "a grotesque mockery."

Born in 1957, you are a bit old fashioned Nick if I may! At least you made the young audience lough aloud.

AI AND PHOTOGRAPHY: FRIEND OR FOE?

The winning submission for the creative photo category of the Sony World Photography Awards was revealed in March 2023. It was a black-and-white photograph of an elderly woman holding a younger one that was named "PSEUDOMNESIA: The Electrician."

The image is described in the news statement announcing the prize as "haunting" and "reminiscent of the visual language of 1940s family portraits."

However, Berlin-based artist Boris Eldagsen declined the honor. He claimed that his photo was not actually a picture at all because he had created it using DALL-E 2, one of the AI image generator available freely. His prank has spurred debate about whether AI-produced or assisted photos should ever be regarded as art.

Using DALL-E 2, all Artwork was completed via text prompts, inpainting, and out painting. As an example of inpainting, you might write, "I do not like his tie," then cross it out and rewrite, "I want him to have a white tie."

You then receive ideas from AI. You can start over if none of those ideas appeal to you. When the frame is insufficiently large, you out paint. To view the entire tie, his slacks, the chair, and the floor, you added an additional frame. It never ends.

As with any piece of art, the initial stages are quickly generated, but the final stages can take days or even weeks to complete.

It is suggested to standardize language and stop referring to realism AI art as "AI photography" since it is not photography. “Promptography” is one favored recommendation that was made by the photographers’ community. It is broad enough to incorporate effects that resemble drawings, paintings, and photographs.

Robotic Pen Based Writing With Ai

Tristan Farneau (France) worked on a machine that can mimic human writing by holding a pen using a robot clone and 3D printer. The robot uses an algorithm to convert text typed from a keyboard into written text that includes imperfections to imitate human writing.An engineer keeps an eye on a battery of 20 autonomous machines with a 0.1-millimeter precision robotic arms.

The “Manuscry” start-up build every component they require using 3D printer . The idea is to gradually increase the number of scripts with AI for image recognition from eight to twenty.

They intend to expand internationally and boost production capacity in order to fulfill the rising demand from big enterprises. Currently, they have modestly 200 customers for whom they have already sent more than 100,000 cards which is in proportion rather impressive.

They run different campaigns. First To retain customers in the context of B2C relationships, particularly for businesses devoted to providing customer service. In second, B2B prospecting in competitive environments to reach more challenging prospects. And in third, inviting customers personally, or partners to an event.

WINING A FORMULA 1 RACE WITH AI IN THE TEAM?

By mounting 24 sensors on a race car in 1982, McLaren was ahead of its competitors by making the first foray into data processing. More than 300 sensors are now used by each Formula 1 car to enhance performance on the track.

Over the course of a race weekend, a car produces 1.5 terabytes of data. This information must be converted into milliseconds by the race crew. Humans are unable to respond to events on the track quickly enough because of how quickly a car stops in the pits, commonly in less than two seconds.

Typical sensor types found in Formula 1 car today include:

Wheel speed sensors detect the speed at which the wheels rotate, providing information on the vehicle's speed, acceleration, and braking capabilities.

Accelerometers are sensors that monitor the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle in all directions. They can be used to evaluate cornering speed, driver-experienced g-forces, and suspension performance.

Temperature sensors: Used to ensure peak performance and avoid overheating, these sensors monitor the temperature of a number of automotive parts, including the engine, brakes, and tires.

Pressure sensors: These sensors gauge the tire pressure and can be used to improve traction and lower the chance of blowouts or punctures.

Flow sensors assess how fluids, such as fuel and oil, move through a vehicle's systems. By using these sensors, fuel efficiency can be improved, and engine damage can be avoided.

Weather sensors: Linked permanently to weather radar images over the track that the pit lane team cannot see from where they are.

Now all these sensors are linked to AI with the DL history of years of racing. McLaren is still the AI pioneer in the sport and, in early 2017, started a cooperation with a data analytics company to generated data with AI (Splunk, UK).

Formula 1 is the perfect complexity example of a sport moving on five continents weather conditions, over a period of 10 months for 24 races.

Today, McLaren's engineers get insights into the performance of the car, spot areas for development, and make tweaks to optimize performance thanks to the incredibly quick process of data collection from their cars' sensors, as well as other data sources including telemetry and driver feedback all feedback in AI data computer power.

Naturally the other teams have since caught up, and AI cooperation gives them a new advantage to consider equally with the other teams.

WILL YOU WEAR AN AI CONNECTED MONOCLE?

Although we are accustomed to using Open AI's chatbot in its most basic configuration, subsequent plugins and APIs made available by the business will let users engage with Chat GPT using smart glasses. This feat has already been done by Stanford students, indicating the potential of this technology.

Wearing AR glasses and a monocle makes it appear as though the generated reaction was the individual's own. The technology's creators call it "real-time Charisma as a Service (CaaS)" and think it has a wide range of uses, such as assisting those who struggle with social anxiety, public speaking, and job interviews.

"Life OS," a different project that leverages the SAME monocle, even employs facial recognition using the built-in camera. This enables the connected chatbot to instantly identify the proper conversation partner and pertinent conversational topics, acting as subtitles for daily life.

The Chat GPT glasses were developed utilizing Monocle AR technology from Brilliant Labs, which has a wide range of possible uses and shows how AI and AR can be used to solve problems in the real world. It will be interesting to see how this technology develops and what effects it has on society.
