General AI stuff

This is a blog about AI in general, rather than learning to Whisper to it.  

I was listening to Aespa’s new song Welcome to MY world (Feat. nævis) last night. aespa 에스파 ‘Welcome To MY World (Feat. nævis)’ MV – YouTube 

I really like it and could write a bit about the other groups I like but the point is that nævis is an AI. I compose music but, although my music might be good, it will almost certainly never be heard by many people. I think our time as composers and singers and songwriters is about up. 

AI Music Generator – SOUNDRAW This can compose any music and for around $17 US a month you can sell what it gives you. 

There are now whole girl groups in Korea generated by AI. Mave is only one: MAVE: Members Profile (Updated!) (kprofiles.com) 

I started thinking about the price of Photoshop after yesterdays blog, wondering why their prices have increased so much over such a short period and I can only conclude that fewer people are using it. For my needs, I could just use Gimp, which is free, I just don’t need all the specialized tools that Photoshop provides. 

I think this is the case for a lot of users. If you wanted to create images in the past, of any sort, Photoshop was a must have tool but now, I can just go to Midjourney and ask for whatever image I want. Describe an angel and I get: 

An angel, describe a female Angel and get a female angel:

If I want angels and fairies in different styles, I get them: 

A couple of years ago, if I had generated angels in software like 3DS, I would still need Photoshop and layer upon layer, trying to make the image beautiful. Now I can just ask for it to be beautiful and it is. 

All I need Photoshop for really is for cropping and adjustment layers for hue and brightness changes, so that images match one another if in a sequence. I think Photoshops days are numbered too. 

If Midjourney can make images, soon there’ll be an AI making feature films. 

I think that very soon all our jobs will be done by AI. There was an article a while ago about ChatGPT passing the Bar exam in the US. It wasn’t trained to pass it, it passed without any preparation. Lawyers will soon be obsolete and if it can pass the Bar exam, I don’t think accounting exams will test it. 

We are entering a new age, one where our skills can’t compete with AI, it might be wonderful but what do people do if they have no job to go to? How will they find purpose in life? 

Maybe we don’t need a purpose, maybe all we need is a lot of the time at the beach, with robots waiting on us, while we listen to AI generated music. 

We’re almost there. 

See you in the next one,

Cheers,
