That's certainly workable but, if the intention is to get a representative sample of Internet users, it'd be very biased.

The idea to apply computer vision algorithms to spectrograms is not new. I don't know who first came up with it, but I first came across it about a decade ago. I just ran a quick Google Scholar search, and the first result is https:&

I wonder if there might be room for a hybrid approach, with a time-domain model taking machine-generated spectrograms as input and turning them into sound. (Just a thought, no idea whether it actually makes sense.)

> the Land Cruiser will be passed down for many generations Wait, what sort of longevity are we taking about? 15 years? 20? I don't think we humans can reproduce quickly enough for that to span "many generations". :-)

Also, in many use cases that have been described thus far it's a collaboration between the AI and a human (i.e. the AI writes the first copy, the human edits). That blurs the line even further.

So did I but, man, that took ten years of pretty intensive study (13 hours a week at the peak, across four school subjects). They taught us really well, but there's got to be a way to reach this level of proficiency with less effort.

A key challenge with something like this demo would be figuring out how not to leak PII or other sensitive data (embedded in the exception or stack trace) to a third-party web site.
