Ameca Voice Cloning – There doesn’t seem to be a day going by that doesn’t involve a new announcement about advances in AI. I wholeheartedly believe that all artists should make themselves fully aware of both the opportunities and threats presented by this. Ameca is a highly advanced robot that I mentioned in my research paper. Even since writing that paper things have substantially moved on. Below is a short clip of Ameca speaking using the voices of famous people. In my opinion to say that we are rapidly approaching a ‘post truth society’ is an understatement. I think it’s already here.
Doom and Gloom or Hybrid Art Opportunity? – Love it or hate it – the robots are here! Below is a selection of robots generated as a visual experiment. No two robots are the same. Each one has its own unique character. They are all bringing balloons as a gift. There are seventy of them in total, although more were generated. They are all a by product of my research paper. They were fun to generate and I’ll just leave them here.
