He can only say that because there's no surviving footage of Nokia's N-Gage E3 2003 presentation.

Since I spent many many minutes looking on YouTube for anything showing the slam poetry break dancing and this is the only real thing I could find from 21 years ago I'm posting this:

What the fuck, man...





What's really wild is that those music models are apparently tiny compared to LLMs or image generators (the music models are all closed source, so we don't know for sure). Probably because music is extremely codified, anyway. But yeah, in the future, if you hear a background track in a movie or TV show? Probably made by AI. No license fees or residuals. It's absolutely good enough for that already.

Music is probably easy to do for AI because it loops and repeats a lot plus there is always a 'rhythm' to it. 
It is almost a formula, which makes it easy for AI to generate.

Rest in peace X and trumps 2024 campaign

The Federal Trade Commission voted unanimously to ban marketers from using fake reviews, such as those generated with AI technology, and other misleading advertising practices.
The ban also forbids marketers from exaggerating their own influence by, for example, paying for bots to inflate their follower count.
With the concurrent rise of e-commerce, influencer marketing and generative AI, more advertisers are turning to automated chatbots such as ChatGPT to quickly generate user reviews for products sold online.

That was obviously cooked up in a policy meeting and some idiot who only found out about generative AI a week ago thought it was brilliant.
