Carmi Levy

For those who know that questioning everything includes questioning this show's existence.

The Last Show with David Cooper.

to generate it can even sound good you can make some really funny parodies with it but how do the music companies how do the audiences and how do these charts that list hits perceive ai music it turns out not well we're gonna go to sweden for something that happened on their charts i'm here with carmi levy it is time for technology time

We're talking tech stories of the day.

Carmi, what a pleasure it is having you here.

Oh, it is so good to be back with you, David.

Thanks for having me.

So an AI song in Sweden charted or was about to chart?

Tell me about this.

What's so wild to me is that this story seems so normal for us to discuss.

Like, of course, there's this controversy, but this idea...

that people can't tell the difference between AI music without a deep dive, without investigative journalism.

I remember talking to you, Carmi, on this show, maybe six months ago, maybe a year ago, in the not so distant past, you and me sitting saying, in the not so distant future, like now, we won't be able to tell the difference.

as this hypothetical thing that we were entering and it's happened and no one's saying anything about it, but it's like, we're basically at a point where you can't tell art that's AI generated from real art and it's just going to get better.

And that is both depressing, but also kind of amazing, like an achievement that we've unlocked.

I just want to say that moment here because we talk about AI every day, but like these milestones, they happen so fast.

It's, you almost don't even notice them.

The chord isn't real music.

On the downside, you know, these people like this group in Sweden can pass off AI music as if it were human.

This is a huge downside.
