Finally we can listen to Mozart's lost 28th piano concerto or Beethoven's missing 33th piano sonata o_O</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">-J.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br></div><div align="left" dir="auto" style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Prof David West <profwest@fastmail.fm> </div><div>Date: 4/5/23 1:55 AM (GMT+01:00) </div><div>To: friam@redfish.com </div><div>Subject: [FRIAM] AI possibilities </div><div><br></div></div>Based on the flood of stories about ChatAI, it appears:<br> - they can 'do' math and 'reason' scientificdally<br> - they can generate essays, term papers, etc.<br> - they can engage in convincing dialog/conversations<br> - as "therapists"<br> - as "girlfriends" (I haven't seen any stories about women falling in love with their AI)<br> - as kinksters<br> - they can write code<br><br>The writing code ability immediately made me wonder if, given a database of music instead of text, they could write music?<br><br>The dialog /conversation ability makes me wonder about more real-time collaborative interaction, improv acting / comedy? Or, pair programming? The real-time aspect is critical to my question, as I believe there is something qualitatively different between two people doing improv or pair programming than simply engaging in dialog. I think I could make a much stronger argument in the case of improv music, especially jazz, but AIs aren't doing that yet.<br><br>davew<br><br>-. --- - / ...- .- .-.. .. -.. / -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. .<br>FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv<br>Fridays 9a-12p Friday St. Johns Cafe / Thursdays 9a-12p Zoom https://bit.ly/virtualfriam<br>to (un)subscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com<br>FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/<br>archives: 5/2017 thru present https://redfish.com/pipermail/friam_redfish.com/<br> 1/2003 thru 6/2021 http://friam.383.s1.nabble.com/<br></body></html>
