MRI + GPT = Mind Reading

Decoding Thoughts with GPT AI 🧠💭

Researchers have found a way to passively read thoughts using GPT AI. This major breakthrough will have transformative impacts on healthcare and privacy.

Bypassing Neurosurgery with MRI 🏥

This advancement is particularly significant because, unlike current language decoders, it doesn't require neurosurgery transplants. Instead, it uses MRI technology to "listen" to thoughts.

But how does this work? First, the participant spends several hours listening to basic, low-level items such as children's tales while inside an MRI. The MRI data is then fed to an AI. The AI begins to form a preliminary understanding of how the participant visualizes the stories in their mind.

Subsequently, the AI is capable of reversing this process. Before, text was used to drive brain waves; now, by analyzing the brain waves, the AI can produce corresponding text. The precision of this technology is quite remarkable for its early stage:

Astonishing! This innovation could provide a crucial communication bridge for individuals suffering from brain injuries or ALS, enabling them to express their thoughts without the need for speech or physical movement.

Can You Control Your Private Thoughts? 🤔💭

As with any groundbreaking tech, questions about privacy are inevitable. Can you control which thoughts you are thinking about? How liable are you for a thought? What about that embarrassing thing you did back in high school?

When fully developed, this technology could potentially be misused for espionage. This allows unauthorized individuals to "hear" others' thoughts.

Spotify - AI Music = Double Standard

Spotlight on Heart on My Sleeve 🎵🤖

"Heart on My Sleeve," features the voices of Drake and The Weeknd. It attracted over 11 million listens in just a week!

Here’s the twist: Drake and The Weeknd weren’t the ones singing…. AI was.

“Heart on My Sleeve” was assembled by artist Ghostwriter and utilized AI voice replication to add in Drake and The Weeknd’s vocals. However, Drake and the Weeknd didn’t work with Ghostwriter which highlights the potential danger of AI in music.

Spotify Protects Artists' Royalties 🎧💰

In response, Spotify has removed tens of thousands of AI-generated songs to ensure royalty payouts for “human“ artists. This act reflects the tension between AI artists and human creators.

Boomy, an AI music generator, is the prime focus of Spotify's recent crackdown. It was introduced to the public in 2021. Boomy has already generated an astounding 14 million songs, which makes up 14% of the world's recorded music!

Unfortunately, most of those songs are not very good and only around 0.1% of them won’t hurt you like, kinda like day-old Folgers 😅 

Embracing AI for Recommendations, Shunning AI in Music Creation 🎧🤔

Spotify, known for its AI-driven recommendation system, is now *ironically* leading the charge against AI-generated music. This raises questions about the company's stance on the role of AI.

I understand the copyright issues, but making AI-generated music is by no means “easy”. I mean just look at how hard Travis Scott is working 🤣
