Bennett’s style of Pride and Prejudice, he surprisingly (albeit depressingly) picked up gender stereotypes from the original work: When we asked Jane Austen’s artificial intelligence to adopt Mrs. As Picasso said: “Good artists copy, great ones steal. Even great human artists admit to processing the “learning data” of their ancestors. In our debate, we wanted to see how reliably AI can reproduce a creative text from the past and what its results would be when considering one’s own creativity. They trained AI to sound exactly like the people whose style they imitated, using about 100,000 words for each that were available in public. To train our “writers”, we worked with AI practitioners Marina Petrova and Bruce Amick at the New York agency Intentful. Obviously, the potential for misinformation in this area is significant. Synthetic human faces are created, which we believe more than real.
We have seen artificial intelligence that produces images in the style of a Mughal painting on a computer trying to convince a crowd of sages that he has become sane, and deep forgeries of rapper Kendrick Lamar as OJ Simpson. But certainly AIs are already able to replicate everything from financial news to synthetic songs by Nirvana, Rembrands and Fellini products. The engineer’s claims seem questionable, as there is little evidence that AI has yet to come to its senses or may even ever do so. Google denies this claim and removes the engineer for violating commercial privacy.
The one we used was in the same broad category as LaMDA, NLP, owned by Google just made headlines after one of its software engineers claimed it was reasonable.
Different AIs like these have been created. This creation deploys a technology known as natural language processing (NLP), in which the computer can be “trained” on millions of pages of classic texts and other online content to interact with the human user – through fast or voice recognition. GWENDOLIN: But Mom, you can’t be serious! The power of NLP World content will soon be created by AI and nothing can be done about it. LADY BRAKNEL: I really can’t see why you’re all making such a fuss. Bennett from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (1813) Winston Churchill with an exciting parliamentary speech and Oscar Wilde, improvising a hitherto unknown scene with artificial intelligence from The Importance of Being Earnest (1895): The timely question is whether man-made content will soon be overwhelmed by “synthetic” content. While this one included artificial intelligence in its “own character” discussing the ethics of its technology, this time, taking on different characters, we were able to explore this topic from a very different angle. This was a continuation of another special debate on artificial intelligence that we described in the Conversation a few months ago. The suggestion was: “This house believes that most of the world’s content will soon be created by AI.” Subscribe to our newsletter now for a weekly summary of our favorite AI stories in your inbox.
