🎵 META RELEASES AI-POWERED MUSIC GENERATOR
Meta's not playing second fiddle to Google, launching their own AI music generator and making it open-source. It's called MusicGen, folks.
Get this - It turns your text descriptions into about 12 seconds of music. Yes, seriously.
This beast has been trained on 20K hours of music. To run it, all you need is a GPU with around 16GB memory. But don't ask for the training code, they're not sharing that.
Performance-wise, it's not too shabby. Even gives Google’s MusicLM a run for its money. But it's not about to replace any real musicians.
Here's the rub. It's learning from existing music, and not everyone's cool with that. Generative music has some legal and ethical gray areas to figure out.
And then there's this - AI-made music tracks are going viral, and causing a ruckus. Labels are claiming IP violations, but copyright laws are still a bit foggy when it comes to “deepfake” music.
Meta's playing it safe, though. They say all their training music was legally covered, so no worries there.
😣 THE AI FEEDBACK LOOP IS GETTING WORSE
Generative AI's rapid adoption poses a significant concern: 'model collapse'.
When AI trains on AI-generated content rather than human-produced content, errors and distortions can accumulate much too easily.
This phenomenon is like successive iterations of a clone losing information, leading to flawed representations of reality.
According to researchers, the issue can be mitigated by regularly refreshing AI with human-generated data.
Nevertheless, this issue underscores two important things:
The increasing importance of human content in the AI-dominated future
The necessity for improved methods to ensure AI's reliability
Sounds like AI may need humans as much as we need AI.
👨⚕️ DOCTORS ARE TURNING TO CHATGPT FOR HELP
Doctors and AI? Apparently, they’re a match made in heaven.
ChatGPT is aiding doctors in better communicating with patients. While there have been plenty of concerns over incorrect medical information, physicians are finding the chatbot quite useful for tasks like summarizing notes and expressing empathy.
ChatGPT is increasingly used to:
Translate medical jargon into layman's language
Provide compassionate responses
Explain complex medical scenarios
Despite some skepticism, proponents see it as a helpful tool in enhancing doctor-patient interactions while reducing burnout.
We would call that a win-win.
