In such a hot situation of artificial intelligence, there have been many examples of using AI systems to write articles, write songs, and create visual art, but the question is, can you tell whether they are created by humans or created by AI systems?

Gaetan Hadjeres and Francois Pachet from the Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris trained their AI system on a chorus song by Johann Sebastian Bach. Choosing these chorus songs, as the MIT Tech Review said, “because the production process is stepwise and uses algorithms.” Training this AI system uses 352 Bach songs, which are converted into different notes, a total of 2503 Works. These works made more than half of the 1,600 listeners (including professional musicians and music students) think that they were Bach’s works.

If it is the field of poetry, the AI ​​system is even more challenging. In the competition held at Dartmouth College, the task of the judge is to read 14 lines of poems and the prescribed sentences of escort. Some are written by humans, and some are written by AI systems. In this case, all judges can identify which are written by humans and which are written by the AI ​​system.

In addition, what will happen to using AI to generate novels? A machine learning enthusiast shared his novel “Harry Potter” written after training the AI ​​system…
