This is why I'm against AI

We are on a slippery slope. Some might think what you can do with AI right now is pretty cool. Right up until you lose your livelihood and get replaced with AI.

Someone made a video of Aces High with Dio singing using AI

 
This is the fun aspect of AI, though. I look forward to hearing all of the post-‘81 catalog as if it were performed by the debut-era Maiden lineup, and all of the post-‘88 material performed as if Adrian never left and Janick never joined. Also, Halford singing the Maiden catalog and Dickinson singing the Priest catalog. The Metallica catalog with Mustaine still in the band instead of Hammett. St. Anger reworked in the style of Master Of Puppets, etc.

All of the concerns about the negatives are still valid of course, but let’s at least enjoy the fun parts since we’re getting the whole package regardless!

Nah, I’ll still check out the original, as intended. But there’s no reason not to explore the fun “what ifs” as well.
 
Also, it's pretty cool how that seems to have been done, it's basically just put a Dio style inflection on to the Bruce vocal track. The song doesn't sound like Dio singing a Maiden song but Bruce doing an impression of Dio.
 
There are a few moments where the Dio-inflection almost sounds real, but if you listen to how the words are pronounced, it's clear that this is not a voice understanding what is being sung. It is especially obvious on the last "aces high". Generally, the chorus sounds non-human. We're deep in the uncanny valley here, IMHO.

I'm seeing a lot of videos on youtube now, nerdy fact based history and geography stuff, that have key names mispronounced, a real tell tale sign that it's artificially generated. Seems bizarre that tons of semi worthless content is being generated artificially and promoted by algorithms at the expense of stuff of real value. No one will be watching this shit in a while if all they can find is chatgpt style essays read in a robot voice with stock images.

The technology will only improve, if given the time. That's what's scary. Even now I've seen a few pretty damn convincing Deepfakes

Already some movie studios were trying to force background actors to sign away their likeness so it could be used again and again for perpetuity without out any further compensation.

Heh, yes, I saw that.

I honestly hope that whosoever made this will be deservedly punished. Severely punished.

I don't know which is worse:
- the idea itself
- the uncanny valley result
- the fact that somebody thought about putting together Jobs, Lennon and Socrates
- the fact their heads are bobbing like those of NPCs in an old PS2 game
- the fact that Socrates doesn't talk like Socrates at all, but vomits and spouts these pseudo-inspirational quotes taken right from 00s public spaces posters


Anyway, as for the future, mark my words - the better this soulless, rancid technology gets, the more it starts to become indistinguishable from the real stuff, the more people with turn neo-Luddite - with people actually buying real canvas paintings and hand-written books just to be sure it was created by a human.

We're not there, yet. Even with the best stuff there's always something ... off.

I for one, absolutely detest this and will refuse to read, listen to or watch anything generated by a computer. Primarily because however intelligent the intelligence is, it is still just that - intelligence, which in my book is among the least admirable aspects of human beings.

Also, I refuse to spend more time with something than its author did creating it.

And just to lighten this, I'll put this here as well


I must say I appreciate the slowly creeping horror, that weird feeling when you don't see what's exactly not right at first... it's admirably nightmarish, I think every horror afficionado should admit that.
 
I still can hear Blaze, but... The future will be so fragmented and with endless posibilities. Indeed, every man will literally live in his own universe.
 
Yeah, it kept all of Blaze's pitch gaffes, which made the Brucification sound really amateurish.

Honestly, I'd be really interested in hearing a version of The X Factor that was both remixed for louder guitars and had pitch correction on Blaze's voice. So far I've only heard the former.
