AI produces realistic sounds that fool humans
I think people here are underestimating how big a thing this actually is and I think the headline is kind of to blame for that. This is much less about fooling humans than about what this actually means.<p>Humans spend a huge part of our early live learning to listen and to connect the dots between what we see and what we   hear.<p>The fact that Deep Learning algos now can simulate audio based on what they see thats the big thing here. Not the production of the sound that fools humans. You can almost sense how imagination and inspiration is inside the reach of machine learning (yes there are some way to go yet)<p>We are now not only seeing individual senses being simulated but also the relationship between them. And as a bonus what one machine learns one place can be instantly added to the knowledge of the other.<p>Thats IMO the big deal here.
