Interesting regarding AI and Kpop Demon Hunters 1/2
Artists Against Generative Al
15 AGAINST
Andrew Unferdorfer • 14h • G
A Redditor caught this. Looks like a possible instance where a translation bot fabricated pro-Al misinformation and that got picked up and amplified as real news.
The misinformation states that ChatGPT was used by the creators of KPop Demon Hunters to help them write the song "Soda Pop".
Problem is, when somebody went back to the original source in Korean, IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT USING AI OR CHATGPT!
The article was translated with Al, and it looks like the Al itself made up this complete lie, and the truly terrifying thing is how nobody questioned it until this one person went digging for the truth.
We launched the OpenAl Korea office yesterday!
Fav moment from the launch celebration was hearing singer/songwriter Vince share that ChatGPT helped him write "Soda Pop" from KPop Demon Hunters! It apparently gave him ideas to make it sound "more bubbly"
OpenAl

Tweet's now deleted, but here's a bit further down the web of this:
The original article this was sourced from, from Korea JoongAng Daily, says this:
"Prior to the unofficial event, producer Vince also spoke with Business Director Oliver Jay at OpenAl's official launch event. Vince stated, "We sometimes use ChatGPT to generate inspiration when producing K-pop," and also mentioned that Al technology is already being utilized in K-pop."
The thing is, that's only in the English translation.
The Korean article it's translated from doesn't mention KPop Demon Hunters using Al at all. So, how did it get there? Well, the English article, as confirmed by a note at the bottom, was translated using generative Al. So, since different language versions of the article contradict themselves, there's a nonzero chance that this entire debacle is an Al hallucination ITSELF, spawned from an Al translation

Donald Trump has become convinced that Republicans cannot win the midterms, and that a blue wave would effectively end his presidency and confront him with two years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. He needs martial law as an excuse to cancel the midterms. So America is on a clock now.

Even the law recognizes that sex w/a 10 yr old is rape. It's always rape. But making that 10 yr old carry her rapists baby is evil. It's always evil. A child cannot raise a baby, as a 10 yr old cannot work. So legally the rapist can take the baby. A diabolical system created by Republicans #MomSky

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.
