Music and it's power of Influence

Image
     Music is a part of life. It has so much effect on the human experience. When engaged in the song, the listener can be at subjection to its ways. The theme, and the tone, have emotion of the kind. If one listens to a thrilling song, the state of the person might be changed, emotionally. The mind invites in the sound and fellowship with it. The influence of music can be most powerful. Sadly the subject matter of the song might be morally dubious. Mankind's shift is swift to its desires, more so than the respected principles that uphold humanity. Songs with wrongful messaging or subliminal style can harm. Music like visual art has been with mankind since the beginning. Those with the power of suggestions over the masses of that land can bend parts of society to his or her will. Pay off people who have the talent to sway the audience and form a culture of the promoted themes. Vigilance is important, so control influences would not take control of the mind, bu...

Soul cannot be captured by a machine

Now the viewer can connect with the art piece because the person is seeing it through their own perspective, but the machine does not have the intention of trying to connect to that person on an emotional level, so there is no soul being driven ...

2020s AI: It is just the beginning

This is magma soap, and it does not exist in real life.  Magma Soap by Dall-e 2/Craiyon Why would it? However, it is an idea rendered as a photo-realistic visual to give the viewer something to see. The world has been "blessed" by more expressive artificially intelligent learning machines. These models look at a set of visual data, that is, photos of the web, and produce imagery based on what they gather. It has a process to it. The results are what people are talking about. Things with precise details are what the models fail at the majority of the time. A real person that exists can be rendered, but not to the point that it can be mistaken for a photo. Artistic style is not a problem anymore. Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and Dall-e 2 have now created countless renditions of prompts that meet pleasing artistic standards. The jump... What is there to say? People have spoken about the dangers, the risks, and any other issue that comes to their minds. They speak, and this AI i...
