Leading AI startup Metaphysic converted vocalist Daniel Emmet into Simon Cowell in a stunning demonstration.

If you are a fan of AGT you would know how difficult it is to impress 'America's Got Talent' judge Simon Cowell, being called the best act ever on 'AGT' is nothing short of SS Rajamouli's creation. So, when the talent-show judge honored Metaphysic's Artificial Intelligence (AI) act with this high praise, unfortunately, fans didn't agree with him. Fans felt that it was a disgrace to the talent-hunt show to call AI as greatest talent. According to a report by Forbes, Leading AI startup Metaphysic converted vocalist Daniel Emmet into Simon Cowell in a stunning demonstration of how far AI has advanced. Their unique performance earned them a spot in the competition's semi-finals.

Judges were impressed but not fans

While the judges were busy singing praises of the performance, fans were anything but impressed. Many fans took to Twitter to question if AI performance can even be considered a talent.

A fan tweeted, "#AGT Imma be real. I didn't think Metaphysic was good. I thought it was creepy. Maybe we shouldn't be having people use ai to puppeteer dead celebrities? Or living ones for that matter?"

"I'll never understand how the judges can be head over heels about that and not like real talent like Bayley! If Metaphysic wins the show I'm done watching. #AGT" wrote a fan.

"No offense, but I don't really get this metaphysic act. Sure the technology is cool, but it's basically the same performance as last time but in opera & more judges. I don't think it's remotely close to the best act of the season. #AGT #AGTLive. #AmericasGotTalent" added a fan.

The world of Synthetic Media

Synthetic media has become synonymous with the aspects of manipulation, particularly in deep fakes (and boy, will we come on to deep fakes). That has largely been down to how the technology has hit the public consciousness, driven by concerns over fake news and the genuine concern that people may use it to manipulate our perceptions of reality.

Synthetic media is an all-encompassing term for the artificial creation or modification of media by "machines" – particularly programs that rely on artificial intelligence and machine learning.

In other words, it's media that is produced by technology. For this reason, you might also hear synthetic media called "AI-generated media".

Role of AI in the Music Industry

Creating Music: There are 12 notes in modern music, as well as 24 major and minor scales. When you combine these factors with various tempos, harmonies, and voices, Artificial Intelligence can generate millions of tunes. Musicians may now produce music utilizing simple production, remixing, and mastering techniques thanks to artificial intelligence. These allow artists to generate endless variations of melodies and give a vast creative playground. Some popular AI software is AIVA, ChucK, etc.

Virtually creating pop stars: During the pandemic, people can't go to musical concerts. Authentic Artists has released a vast collection of AI-powered virtual artists capable of creating new musical experiences. Their animated virtual musicians create all-original songs to perform on screen, and they also respond to crowd response by changing the speed or intensity, or even skipping to the next song in the set.

Finding future artists: Artificial intelligence aids the music industry's A&R (artist and repertoire) discovery by sifting through songs in search of the next future artist.

The application of Artificial intelligence in music production is absolutely astounding, and it will have a big influence in the near future. Our world will continue to sound nicer every year as AI software improve and the music industry learns how to utilize artificial intelligence as a supplement to human creativity.
