People talk about getting rid of them evil gatekeepers with AI, but in reality, I feel like AI will only increase the appetite for gatekeeping, and massively so. Would you want to play games and chat with people who might be 95% bots, or with verified humans? And besides, a society without gatekeepers was always a delusion, we only switched from being gatekept by editors to being gatekept by algorithms designed by megacorporations.

[@tubester358]

@@Blaze6108 Yes! Thanks for reminding me of that name. I also think that the bigger issue now is not how easy it is to make music but how much less engaging it gets to be a fan of music. The streaming experience is largely about random suggestions and non-stop listening which makes people who aren't already picky fans see less value in individual tracks or artists so they might not care as much where their music comes from or whether they can interact with the artist in the future. Supposedly, Spotify creates some AI music and sets up a fake artist to have more music on their platform, and then when people sample that music all the revenue comes back to them with no artist to pay. I don't know how or if that will be regulated.

Any tools released to detect these things would be a stepping stone for them to get better, and thus there will always be a continual arms race between them until something breaks. Up until now it's always broken on the side of the generator, but what happens when it breaks on the side of the discriminator?

Btw, a side note on the tools that can detect AI (Context from someone who works in ML) : They would only help for a little while and then those tools might actually do the opposite of helping. A popular form of generative AI is called a GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) which is where you have 2 AI's, a detector AI and a Generator AI and they both learn at the same time and the Generator tries to beat the detector and vice versa. If we build advanced AI detection tools, people could train the generative models in a GAN style with those detection tools until they improve to be able to beat the detectors. Which, unfortunately, makes it a pretty tricky problem.

This is crazy, I did a commercial for a PSA just last week. After sending the first one in, which used an AI voice over, they thought it was a real person and they asked me if the lady could be more cheerful. When I let them know that her voice was an AI voice, they started looking for AI voices on their own, and the project just ballooned into more time and more edits, which were done to match the more cheerful voice they chose. As a very general rule, AI voices definitely tend to sound better with background music. Well chosen music makes it slightly harder to hear the AI’s over pronunciation of every word. If some variation for common words was possible, AI voiceovers would sound much more realistic

If you cryptographically sign it, there's no way for fakes to forge a cryptographic signature unless they steal your key, which is a different problem. The only way to compromise it is to break the security system, not by faking more convincing content. Alex's proposal is basically calling for the world to adopt public-key cryptography widely, and have a social norm of only trusting things signed cryptographically.

[@TheDumontShow]

you better start worrying and fast. this technology is dangerous. not everything is made to be created. this is one of them. this is going to balloon into something we can't control. i want no part of it. but they will feed the masses into buying some form of it. i want no part of it

[@thegreenarrow8286]

I just can imagine this along with the deep fakes where you actually think you are seeing and hearing somebody only to realize that person never did is so scary. Just imagine the folks who could be framed for crimes.

[@jafizzle95]

For the last couple of months I've had this looming sense of dread and anxiety knowing that I'm living the last few years (maybe less) of the current 'way things are'. I don't know how to describe it better than that. I'm just trying to make sure I remember what it's like to live now, as much as now sucks, because I think it might be about to get a lot worse. It's basically like how things were never the same after the internet became accessible, and how things were never the same after the iPhone and smartphone revolution. AI is that, but I think it's going to be 10x more jarring and disruptive than either of the previous examples. While all of those examples lead to some good things, it also made it so much easier to divide people. AI has the potential (and therefore it's basically a guarantee) to destroy so much in addition to the useful and life-changing benefits that it will bring.

[@HaasGrotesk]

I agree! I've been thinking exactly the same. The last few years we'll be able to know what is genuine and man made. After that who know who wrote the text, made the song or made the video. I also think the world will be divided in two groups. The people that completely refuse tech and people that require tech and are consumed by it just like people are now with Tiktok and KZbin. I myself am starting to move away anything tech. I'm trying to literally remove everything and go back to the good old days.

[@HippieP629]

Agreed. I love love tech but we truly NEED to look at all of this more critically. You and I know human nature and we're (generalization of course) so hell bent on going 1000mph that we should pump the brakes more, especially with ai.

[@jestempies]

Keep in mind that tools that detect AI generated content will be used to better train AI generating the content. The better the detectors get, the harder to detect stuff will get. That kind of training is common in teaching AI.

[@mitchellmccarthy7374]

And then that AI will be used to train an AI tool to detect AI generated content

[@MrAdamantine]

I believe it's a must to introduce subjects like ethics and philosophy alongside AI in curriculums because then you wouldn't need to ban it and have a proactive approach to using it.

[@TheAaronJP]

Can't wait to hear 2pac and B.I.G collaborations in future.

[@alattice]

I was waiting for the "this is also generated by AI" part at the end

[@narutodayo]

I can't believe this is actually happening and we are actually having these kinds of conversations about it. It seems like something from a sci-fi movie, not actual life. Incredibly surreal.

[@haksinternationallancing3603]

nice insight! i guess level 3 is when the AI is listening to u as u make this video then makes something even before u post your work.

[@tphotographix]

THIS is actually a dope technological artistic production corundum. - - -but freaking enjoyable!!

[@GraveSouls]

Artists are gonna start patenting their vocal frequencies/patterns which is going to start a whole thing. Also just listened to the song and that is awesome. Pretty sure Jai Z would get approval from Jay Z lol. I would love to see someone do a horror type rap with an AI that morphs between different popular rappers and styles. Maybe call it Rapmonculus.

[@sharpenedge]

Okay... So blend two or three or four different voice models and make your own flavor. Copyright: dodged.

[@GraveSouls]

@@sharpenedge It's not really just the voice but the style (ie cadence, vocal patterns, and other distinct artist features) that would be hard to dodge. Yes, someone who writes lyrics and has a specific artists style in mind could alter the voice frequency a little/lot to achieve it but it loses a lot of what makes that style unique and people who actually know the artist will spot a doppelganger easily. Imagine if the song used a generic feminine voice in place of Jay Z's. It would sound weird and Jay Z fans would instantly pickup on his rap style/patterns.

[@krucial88]

​@@sharpenedge yea your forgetting about copying his exact voice and cadences. That's not stealing his likeness at all....

[@sharpenedge]

@@krucial88 It's like copying their face. We already have it. There's nothing illegal about that. We only need to remix it before using it.

[@boshi9]

Don't see how that would work. What if someone just naturally happens to sound like somebody else? You can't bar people from using their own voice.

[@sunnysanjo]

How can one not feel absolute dread at all of this?

[@nsubugakasozi7101]

Cant wait for A.I Tupac to release a new album. Going to be crazy...hell raiser

[@ceesparxxx]

It's only a matter of time before A.I will be able to scrub through your entire channel, view every video you ever released, learn your voice, the way you present yourself, your exact look, etc......and then be able to tell it to make a MKBHD video and tell it what you want it to be about, and then it spits out a video for the channel, looking like it was a genuinely recorded and edited by you and your team, even though it was all secretly done by A.I. I wouldn't be surprised if in less than 10 years, you can just go to an A.I website, tell it something like: "Make an MKBHD video about the Samsung Galaxy S30." And then it spits out a video that looks like you genuinely made it yourself. I'm telling you now, it's only a matter of time before that becomes a legitimate reality!

[@yangarza]

witnessing all this develop in real time is totally crazy and I don't think it's totally sunk in for me personally

[@bandittree]

That is absolutely wild! I had to keep reminding myself it's an AI not actually HOV, and even doing so didn't stop me from being like, "I can't find a flaw here", the flow, the style, everything was so spot on.

[@HippieP629]

Right?! To me, it's simultaneously literally amazing and incredibly scary af.

[@a17waysJackinn]

its time to flyy

[@alimomen]

This is insane. Was hoping though that you'd mention that while Jay is a billionaire artists should have their work protected here. Either they should be compensated or have to give consent or both.

[@Easy1two3]

What work did Jay-Z do on this track, exactly? His discography is just the training data, for which he has already been compensated.

[@mm-hl7gh]

some people think the artists should get money for being used, other people think the artists should pay for being featured. it could be jayZ got a lot of new attention and made a lot more sales due to this song.. artists who put their drawings on artstation and such sites demand money because their pictures have been used for training.. but if you ask them if they want to give their own money to the studios they got inspired from.. then its a completely different thing..

[@augustday9483]

Level 3 is where an AI designed to detect AI can't recognize it either.

[@vectoralphaSec]

AI is and will change the world forever. People need to wake up and start paying attention.

[@PegiZone]

Bruh, everyone is paying attention. It’s one of the hottest topics at the moment globally 😂

[@DanielDaVinciArt]

This is even scarier considering the fact that a massive wave of Ai generated model accounts on Instagram are taking over, I came across model who I'd seen on a different account with a different name, age and location, with subtle facial distinctions, but they looked so similar, So I started investigating and noticed how they all take pictures at night with the same generic pose. They have 20k plus followers, and the masses don't even know they aren't real.

[@HippieP629]

Damn. smh. It's not all fun & games & "ooh make millions with midjourney!" I really think we've got more to worry about than we think right now

[@DAventador44]

You remember the account name(s)? Genuinely curious to see how weird it is

[@MsTiagosk8]

I wasn't expecting that "Savage" from AI 50 in the end of the video 🤣

[@daishi15]

Very Insightful and Thoughtful

[@Andrew_Bradshaw]

You have such a good point. We used to think seeing was believing when it comes to video evidence but in the future will we even be able to trust what we see. Will video be able to be used as evidence without a reasonable doubt? Crazy times we are in.

[@Xenoni]

The more people can't tell the difference between what's real and what's AI-generated, the more people will revert back to live and face to face interactions.

[@caloykoy1]

@Xenoni I ❤ this. I hope most people will go this way. ☺️

[@dustindustindontworry-jz8dh]

That'll be a good thing. The small minority will go back to face to face interactions. The vast majority will merge with A.I to become human 2.0.

[@rylaczero3740]

I agree, real life interactions matters more to me now.

[@FireJach]

idk man, if AI gets so advanced it can even deepen the social problem - AI girlfriends, AI entertainment. Any news will be so difficult to acknowledge as real... our society might get more miserable

[@vinimooraess]

@@FireJach AI is really gonna fuck up the justice system, cause in the near future picture/video evidence doesn’t work, anybody who hates someone enough will be able to make a video of that person killing someone or selling drugs or whatever else

[@gavriel45]

It really does sound like Jay Z… the only people who may be able to tell the difference are seasoned mix engineers. Mix engineers who can pick out artifacts in the rendered output. If the AI gets any better, which it will, no one will be able to tell this apart from real recorded vocals

[@horsetrainingpro]

You prompted my CarPlay Siri twice when you said theory 😂

[@alocii]

I think the "solution" might be to come at it from the other side. Instead of automatic detection of AI-content (which is a losing game that is getting increasingly more difficult), lets focus on "human-made"-certificates. Theres something Adobe is working on called "Content Authenticity Initiative" where you basically track development of an image from camera to publication - lets do that with all creative output. As a (not professional) writer that'd be the same as giving people my edit history of the docfile for the text, as an artists it'd be basically a screen recording of the process. I think we wont and we shouldnt stop AI, but for human creativity to survive we need to be able to tell which is which, if nothing else to be able to give it "human-made"-stamp of approval. People can still find ways to cheat, of course, but then they would have to do it with intention and it would be a lot harder to do (and for what purpose?)

[@tal_wolfrid]

What if AI be able to produce that kind of video

[@alocii]

@@tal_wolfrid yeah, people will always find ways to cheat so it wont be 100% but compare it to people using aimbots in CS, it will be something the person does with intention of cheating then instead is as it is now just everything being mixed.

[@minmin-hd9bu]

i've seen art community already crying over AI being able to reproduce speedpaints.

[@JakeDuthDev]

Fullscale video production is coming in the next year or two. Not only will we have time-lapse capabilities, we'll have feature length films written by AI. At that point it doesn't matter if you can prove you made it or AI did, it'll just matter which one's better and gets more sales

[@adarshjay4451]

I am waiting for that first video where it feels like just another video by your favourite youtuber and just as you are about to close it at the end expecting them to say their customary "like, share, subscribe", the actual youtuber walks in and thanks the AI for "generating today's video"

[@MIchaelSybi]

It just shows how limited humans are. Our build was so much about survival, that very little resources have left to thinking. Some people are exceptional, but it's a mutation rather. Whereas Chat GPT already passes linguistic exams with 146 IQ. 160 is just 1 percent of humans

[@bdjfw2681]

that would be nice i think.

[@MuskVideo]

The potential destruction of our political systems by bad actors (Russia is known to have been involved in interference in elections) is the most worrying thing. This is extremely bad news for democracy that relies on honesty in reporting of events, that voters are engaged and discerning. Imagine the right wing fever dream of being able to generate content about the 4chan qanon fantasy stuff. Very worrying. The solution of having people believe in and focus on legitimate sources of information is undermined by the narrative that had been spun off mainstream media being not trustworthy. Despite them mainly having very high journalistic standards. Worrying times.

[@TalEdds]

As soon as I heard A.I. generating peoples voices just makes me think about the scammers who can use this to sound like a family member and trick you into giving them info when you think it's a loved one.

[@Blues-House]

This is an interesting concept. I'm still not conviced that AI is intelligent and a lot of so called AI is still a bunch of algorithms but calling it AI sounds more cool. Level 2 is really where the intelligence is as it can have an original 'idea' as opposed to just very quickly sifting through what has gone before and re-hashing. True story, try this yourself: in chatGPT I typed, "Write me a blues song in the style of Roblert Johnson" Guess what the first four words were? Yep: "Woke up this morning", well I did ask for that I suppose😉 Great video, thanks for sharing, thumbs up. Cheers.

[@agustinperes6904]

Spotify, youtube music and apple will probably act as a gatekeeper. There is a reason copyrights and antitrusts are a thing, back then the threat was piracy and not paying for movies and music. Right now the threat is AI generated content, with data they don’t own. You can’t even put copyrighted music on this platform, it doesn’t make any sense if they allow something like midjourney to continue profiting from that.

[@MysticMylesZ]

1:38 yep... that fooled me 😂 until someone said it was fake on a podcast then I stopped and thinking for like 10 seconds and looked back at it 😂

[@ivanjasper6772]

It makes sense that a lot of the A.I content would fool us since the way we experience most artists today is via some sort of digital outlet. We rarely experience the nuance of analog anymore with artists and since the pandemic with each other.
