Observing these patterns of influence gives clues about how our models generalize from their training data. For instance, if the models responded to user prompts by splicing together sequences from the training set, then we’d expect the influential sequences for a given model response to include expressions of near-identical thoughts. Conversely,... See more

Embodiment, AI - IDFA Report-1
Exploring the intersection of embodiment, immersive media, and artificial intelligence in documentary storytelling, highlighting audience experiences, challenges, and the evolving strategies used by creators to convey complex realities.
LinkAt IDFA DocLab in November 2023, MIT researchers explored how the
different forms of possible embodiment were being used by artists, and how
they had impact on audience experience and understanding. We wanted to
understand what strategies and tools artists are using, how these projects
are being received by audiences, and whether the knowledge communicated
or experience delivered is distinct from that shared by more traditional forms
of flat screen media.
AuthorityHacker surveyed 1,200 music consumers and got some striking results: 93% said they did not value AI-generated music as highly as music produced by humans. And, while over 60% said they would consider listening to AI music, some 56% also said they would not willingly pay for songs generated using AI. Perhaps most striking: 89% of those... See more
