Google is embedding inaudible watermarks right into its AI generated music::Audio created using Google DeepMind’s AI Lyria model will be watermarked with SynthID to let people identify its AI-generated origins after the fact.

    Language models dont experience things, so it literally cannot. In the same way an equation doesnt experience the things its variables are intended to represent in the abstract of human understanding.

    Calling language models AI is like calling skyscrapers trees. I can sorta get why you could think it makes sense, but it betrays a deep misunderstanding of construction and botany.

        It is not a measure of validity. It is a lack of capacity.

        What is the experience of a chair? Of a cup? A drill? Do you believe motors experience, while they spin?

        Language models arent actual thought. This isnt a discussion about if non organic thought is equivalent to organic thought. Its an equation, that uses words and the written rules of syntax instead of numbers. Its not thinking, its a calculator.

        The only reason you think a language model can experience is because a marketing man missttributed it the name “AI.” Its not artificial intelligence. Its a word equation.

        You know how we get all these fun and funny memes where you rephrase a question, and you get a “rule breaking” answer? Thats because its an equation, and different inputs avoid parts of the calculation. Thought doesnt work that way.

        I get that the calculator is very good at calculating words. But thats all it is. A calculator.

          Oddly, I’d find a piece of music written by an ai convinced it was a chair extremely artistic lol. But yeah, just because the algorithm that’s really good at putting words together is trying to convince you it has feelings, doesn’t mean it does.
