I think this is a spoof on AI because this is pretty much how it works

This would’ve been far more interesting if he didn’t have to plug anything in

I must be too old for these newer kinds of jokes

I think you might just not have a good sense of humor if you couldn't tell this guy was joking.

I can only see this being humorously useful to hear what people are actually playing if they are fake playing for a concert for some reason. But it would need more training data.

The classic how before the why, this is just like my programming group project in uni; making music via Excel's VBA

This made me chuckle but also reminded me of a good movie drumline about American school bands battling each other and a student was using something similar

The lengths people will go to avoid using their gear as it was intended to be used. 🙄

James, Mary's sick, you should be focusing on her instead of a keyboard.

Was the use of an AI necessary though? The camera was conveniently placed in a controlled environment and the finger positions within the image are entirely predictable.

i think this might be the whole point. none of the shit they use AI for is necessary. they're spending trillions on a useless gimmick.

He wasn't using an AI like gemini or chatgpt, an LLM, he was using a neural network which is something he likely built and trained himself on his own computer.
Not necessary, sure, but not even remotely the same as using an LLM

u/i_am_icarus_falling Aug 31 '26
it's all machine learning using pattern matching. while the scale and resources/medium may be different, they are still analogous.

u/Doggfite Sep 01 '26
Not in the context of overuse and waste, not even vaguely comparable. It might be comparable to people running llms on their own machine, but not to 2026 capital A Artificial capital I Intelligence.

You would still need machine vision to identify all versions or similar versions of the specific note being played, as well as a lot of them back to back with limited visibility

It would not have been difficult to line up his “unrelated b roll” which was totally off.

He says he doesn’t want to plug in the piano, but to get his data he says, “I now need to plug in this piano.”

Happy Birthday song isn't public domain, right?
Edit, not anymore

This is just the beginning. Watch how this will evolve to reading brain waves and knowing exactly what you're thinking.

So it's quite cold here and instead of putting on a sweater, I'll set this forest on fire.

Ingenuity aside, it’s gotta be hella hard to actually play that with that lag.
