<off topic>Just dawned on me, today you can generate Mozart's avatar with a GAN, voice with TTS, replies with GPT-3 and music composition on demand with transformers. Or you could demand its opinion on other music, or have it teach you piano. That would be a nice App idea, a MozartBot. Bonus if it can guide you to appreciate the composer's music.
Would this be an early version of digital upload?
- dsr_ 5y agoNo. You're not replicating Mozart's mind. You're replicating your interpretation of some painters' interpretations of what he looked like; a selection of word sequences bearing some statistical similarity to what he wrote down; a fantasy of your own devising as to what his voice sounded like, and you don't have rules for producing Mozart's music -- as this article demonstrates, pretending that you can produce satisfying music from a set of rules is not convincing, in the same way that GPT-3 output cannot convincingly pass a Turing Test as soon as you ask questions about meaning.
