Less than two decades ago, the most advanced and modern version of artificial intelligence was a pager. Max it would do was help send short alerts to people connected to the system. Today we have advanced artificial intelligence systems for literally everything. A question troubling you? Google. Alexa. A song stuck in your head? Shazam. Want some food delivered? We have literal robots delivering food on their own. Smart AI surrounds us to perform the most basic to the most complex tasks for us.
Now, this is no Sci-Fi movie. No, robots will not take over the world and make us robotized. (Or are they?)
But is it a threat to us humans in other ways? The way modern machinery replaced laborers and other workers in mills and factories, can this AI software replace us in offices?
What is artificial intelligence at the end? What is an AI model? A computer system that has limited knowledge and does what it is coded as. Right? No.
The recent AI software development is both fascinating and terrifying. Fascinating that humans have progressed this far to make life-like non-living things that work for us. Terrifying that humans have gone so far, so what’s next? What will the AI world witness next?
1. AI-Generated Art/Image
Multiple AI tools that work with images popped up recently. These AI image generators produce complex images with a mere click of a button, Work that a graphic designer or a painter will take hours to make. AI art generators became a popular trend where users would spend a few dollars and generate art in a state of shock.
Stable Diffusion AI is a text-to-image model. This shocking marvel of artificial intelligence can generate an image of whatever you type in it. You can type “a purple girl holding a lightsaber in the middle of a book cupboard” and this Ai will have this image in front of you.
Another one of these AI image generators is Lensa. This AI makes a user upload their selfies and charges a few dollars and delivers that selfie in various styles, eras, and modes. People on social media platforms like TikTok were sharing their faces as a Greek god, a Renaissance-era painting, or even someone from the future.
After these AI art generators became popular, many artists and people pointed out that these bots and AI were stealing from artists. While those AI make beautiful images and versions, they also steal from artists. While casually hiding their signatures and other identification marks as pointed out by this user.
2. AI-Generated Songwriting And Music
Some musicians use data to train machine learning models depending on their desired sound. Others input their musical preferences based on bands or digital sounds into a neural network. An algorithm system modeled after the neurological function of the human brain, which subsequently composes melodies and rhythm patterns.
The way musicians employ AI-based music production will probably continue to change as it grows more sophisticated and pervasive. Who can predict the unexpected rhythms and sounds that will emerge?
Independent artists can quickly produce royalty-free music using apps like Mubert, Ecrett Music, and Songen. These services make use of AI-assisted engines to generate song ideas that users can then edit and complete. Additionally, they assist in preventing the unauthorized use of copyrighted works, which AI has proven to be quite helpful in identifying.
3. AI-Generated Voices
This AI is on the same lines as text-to-speech but with a twist. Microsoft’s VALL-E. There are many AI similar to VALL-E that use something called a “neural codec language model.” It listens to a person’s voice, breaks it down into discrete parts (referred to as “tokens”) using EnCodec, and then compares those tokens to training data to determine how that voice would sound if it said additional sentences than the three-second sample.
Using this, you can make this AI mimic the sounds of anyone from celebrities to normal people. Great for pranks, but also can be a huge welcome sign for scammers and hackers.
Robots and artificial intelligence (AI) will displace some human occupations, but they will also generate new ones. Since 2000, 1.7 million manufacturing jobs have been gradually eliminated thanks to robots and automation systems. On the other hand, it is anticipated that by 2025, AI will generate 97 million new jobs. Some jobs will continue to be replaced by AI. Workers should anticipate hiring disruptions as a result of AI in a variety of areas. Including healthcare, agriculture, and industrial sectors. But it is anticipated that AI will increase the need for professionals, particularly in the fields of robotics and software engineering.
