"You can make money, but I will never lose money." Xiang Shan nodded, "And this music has really made me a lot of money. Lao Di is not a scientific researcher, so what he said is only superficial."
DiBner shrugged and said with a smile: "That's true. Why don't you, boss, explain it further?"
"'AI that imitates Mr. Kenji Kawai' is actually not difficult to create." Mukayama said: "The real role of the one hundred music critics is not just to train the composition AI. They will also make decisions on the results output by the composition AI.
Evaluate, write down comments such as 'This certain part of this piece does not look like Mr. Kenji Kawai'. These comments will also be recorded - what do you guess it does?"
Lao Di nodded and showed a flattering attitude: "It's also...training AI, right?"
"Bingo! I trained a batch of music review AIs by the way. Of course, the evaluation perspectives of this batch of AIs are not as diverse as humans - humans can range from 'style', 'groundbreaking', 'experimental', 'ideological', 'emotional resonance'
They evaluate a song from other dimensions. They only have one evaluation angle, and that is 'Does it look like Kenji Kawai?'"
"Each music review AI will only obtain data from 60 random ones out of the one hundred music critics. Only one group can obtain the evaluation data of all one hundred music critics. The other group will only obtain the evaluation data.
Evaluation data of other music review AIs.”
"In short, when the project reaches the second stage, these AIs will separate into a set of mirrors and form a closed loop in another supercomputer, where AI creates, AI evaluates, and AI gives AI feedback."
"The two types of AI give each other feedback and strengthen each other, eventually reaching a higher level."
Lu Xuanyu was a little stunned: "Can I ask... what was the result?"
"As a natural person, as long as you are familiar with Mr. Kawai's works to a certain extent, it is basically impossible to distinguish the music output by the AI from Mr. Kawai's own music - unless you remember all of Mr. Kawai's music." Xiangshan pushed the smart phone.
Glasses, with a smug look on his face: "While some of the music critics who are not familiar with Mr. Kawai are actually able to distinguish the music output by the AI. For example... well, those AIs love white noise elements too much, but currently there is no such thing.
Human musicians integrate this element into music so harmoniously.”
Zhu Xinyu said: "Ah - this is entirely a problem with the database you gave me. Those AIs can't understand the point that 'white noise and orchestral music are two different sounds to humans'."
"There are still some similar questions. But the summary is that if you make a judgment from the perspective of 'Does it look like Mr. Kawai?', then there is a high probability of being fooled. But if you break out of this mindset, first start from the perspective of 'Yes'
If you don’t judge from a human perspective, you may gain something.”
Lu Xuanyu was a little dizzy: "This... Mr. Kawai is also a 'human', I mean, he is also in the category of 'human musician', right?"
"Human beings' judgment of 'whether they are human' is vague. If your brain is concentrating on judging 'whether these music conforms to Kawai Kenji's style', then 'using white noise' may also be regarded by your brain as Mr. Kawai's."
A creative attempt - and the white noise is integrated as an integral part of the music and is not obvious! Don't stress about it!"
Xiang Shan turned around and said the last sentence to Zhu Xinyu behind him.
Lu Xuanyu nodded: "Then this research...where is the profit?"
"We finally checked the machine's code and tried to find out the parameters that make people think that the music has Kawai Kenji's personal style. This parameter is the so-called 'authorship'. In addition, there is also 'how to judge whether the music resembles Kawai Kenji'
"Parameters of sub-personal style." Xiang Shan said, "Since the last century, human beings have been trying to establish a 'method for computers to understand the world' from scratch, and in turn study the 'path for humans to understand the world.'"
"And one of the most important and ambiguous directions is 'how humans recognize other humans'. Humans, after all, are the sum of all social relationships. Why do humans think that other humans have 'personality'? This"
In what way does individuality exist?"
"I have a friend who believes that the data that determines human personality is actually very small. Most of the huge data in human consciousness are 'common characteristics'. If a suitable format is used for compression... Oops, I'm sorry to say it all at once.
too much."
Lu Xuanyu nodded in awe: "It does sound like a very meaningful research."
"I actually opened another project team. Do you know the promotional materials on the streets of Tokyo? Including the theme activities of the Sky Tower, the huge posters on the streets of Shibuya, and the graffiti on hundreds of street promotional vehicles.
"Xiang Shan said, "The name of the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament comes from the most popular comic book "Dragon Ball" in the last century."
Lu Xuanyu had a vague premonition: "Boss, you can't be..."
"Ah, that's right. I also trained an AI that imitated Toriyama, the author of "Dragon Ball"." Xiangshan nodded and smiled: "Since computer graphics recognition is a problem, I actually plan to let Toriyama
Teacher Ming did it himself. But a friend of mine pulled me and said, 'I'm already 90 years old, so don't harm me. Just make a full set if you want to do it.' So I gritted my teeth and did it - but...
It’s easier than expected. The Japanese have been training AI to imitate the god of comics, Osamu Tezuka, for more than ten or twenty years. They started a cooperative project, gained their research experience, and then used it as an assistant to Mr. Akira Toriyama.
Cartoonists and veteran artists from the "Dragon Ball" animation production team were all brought over..."
Lao Di added: "'Dragon Ball' is an important part of the world's popular culture at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, and it has received extremely widespread attention. This move is very eye-catching. In addition, according to public reports,
This research is of great significance to how people who have been blind for a long time can regain their sight, and will be helpful to patients with cognitive dysfunction such as alexia, spelling, partial aphasia, and agnosia."
Lu Xuanyu nodded: "It's really... amazing."
Because of his past experiences, he has great respect for these medical research studies.
"Well, in addition to those, of course we also obtained the parameters of 'Why Toriyama Akira is Toriyama Akira?'" Xiang Shan nodded: "Lao Lu, we also talked about it during your surgery. About 'What?
It's the topic of Jeet Kune Do' and 'What is Bruce Lee's personal style'. If you want to know the answer, I can also help you ask - use AI to ask God."
Lu Xuanyu pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Actually, no need."
"My teacher once told me that Jeet Kune Do is not just about technique. We should be more concerned about how martial arts affects our thoughts and lifestyles."
