Do people actually care what Obama has to say about AI? I'm just having a hard time seeing where his skillset overlaps with this topic.
"AI can't do [thing]" *AI does thing* "Well AI can't do [other thing]" *AI does other thing* "Yeah, well AI doesn't have soul (or some other nebulous thing)"
We can't just dismiss rapidly improving AI and ignore the coming consequences. Things like "soul" or any other element that is considered human never mattered when it came to commercial music. A lot of radio hits are quickly-produced trash, with perhaps a catchy tune, and little in the way of meaningful lyrics. If it's considered "good enough" (i.e. it makes money) then that's all that is needed for a company. Don't fool yourself into thinking the artistry ever mattered in this context.
Wow, a word from a global expert on AI, Barrack Obama. I hope he’s a bit better at it than he is at world peace!
