Will mass-adoption of generative AI tools increase or decrease the historical awareness of humanity?
Wondering how many teams have written the ethics section on their site with ChatGPT and how ethical that is...
Human-Centered Machine Learning
Designing Human-Centered Machine Learning systems is a great challenge & opportunity. Instead of trying to replace humans, aim to empower them with tools that play to their natural strengths. Especially in creative domains, human-in-the-loop systems are an under-explored frontier.
Generative AI sparks excitement in countless people eager to explore new storytelling methods, despite them lacking a story to tell. It mirrors those who spend years preparing to create art, only to never actually produce any. Welcome to the era of Great Computational Comedy
Cross-pollination of ideas across disciplines is an incredible catalyst for innovation. Unearthing gems from one domain and applying them to another can unlock refreshing creative perspectives.

"Remembering when jack clark and friends included the *complete* alibaba IPO as funding for ai along with a random china electric car company and the sale of ARM to nvidia (which never happened?!)"
I'm fortunate to have many musicians as friends. Most of them are deeply worried about the impending AI-generated music wave. As practitioners in this field, we bear a responsibility to take this seriously & focus on creating tools that empower musicians, rather than replace them
The misconception that generative music is merely a technical challenge must be debunked. As technical capabilities become open-sourced & commoditized rapidly, the challenges lie in crafting meaningful tools, interfaces, new business models, and fostering a thriving community.
While the AI revolution is profound, so far you can't dance to it. This is about to change.
Imagine a future where a handful of powerful incumbents monopolize the burgeoning generative music landscape, using forceful tactics to maintain their stronghold. This would stifle artistic freedom & innovation, even as these giants claim to champion the very opposite.
Intelligence is the easy bit. Inter-species cooperation and ecosystem balance across the web of life is the complex bit. Love is the eternal mystery.
