Great article @grahamthedev! 😊 If I had to pick a point that stood out to me it’s this one:
“Any attempt to clone ourselves into a digital brain and mechanical presence instantly means the model is outdated. Also the model will never follow the actions our biological self would follow as it will not have the same computational and physical constraints”. I never considered this until I started thinking about AI versions of iconic performers who passed away and how their image is taken from a certain era in their career (e.g., Michael Jackson). The AI might sing and dance like the original, but they don’t have the deceased’s essence. Makes me wonder if the creators of Vocaloid had considered this as they created this AI robot?🤔
Accessibility First DevRel. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
Yeah that was one point that I really hadn't considered.
Another related part that really made me stand up and pay attention was the part about "prior computation" coupled with limited computational power, when you put that in the context of human society, is an amazing way of viewing our progress as the human race, as well as that of AI (and possibly the future / limits of AI).
The whole thing is so thought provoking that I am probably going to need days to process and unpack it all. I am glad you enjoyed it! 💗💗
I'm not sure what you mean by the Vocaloid remark. It's just a voice synthesis software, after all. While there has been some machine learning going on in the field (SynthV comes to mind) it still remains voice synthesis software; you put in words and the voice says/sings them.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
