AI produces realistic sounds that fool humans
AI that produces sound through analysis of a source video is impressive. Fooling humans is not. Since most of us have grown up on a steady diet of film and television many of the sounds we have in our memories are the work of foley artists that add sound effects to sequences in post. The sound of horse hoofs on cobblestones is likely created from a percussive technique that has no equine participation. The sounds of people being punched may be the sound of a large piece of meat being struck with a club. Similarly crunching snow likely is not the sound of a person walking through actual snow.<p>Our perceptions of sound within a video/film source is already deeply skewed and therefore the notion that this AI is a Turing test of sorts is a weak analogy.
