Another big company added AI in a creative way. Spotify added DJ AI and I can’t get enough of it! DJ is fun, calls me by my name and talks and knows my music tastes. It was trained on a voice of Xavier “X” Jernigan and sounds so real.
Here how it works:

Make sure your Spotify app is up to date: The AI DJ feature is only available on the latest version of the Spotify app, so check if you have any pending app updates and install them. 2. Check if the feature is enabled on your account: Make sure that the AI DJ feature is enabled
The AI DJ's voice was created using technology Spotify acquired from Sonatic last year and is based on that of Spotify's head of Cultural Partnerships Xavier “X” Jernigan
AI DJ is using Generative AI through the use of OpenAI technology. DJ provides you with insightful facts about the music, artists, or genres you’re listening to every few songs #Spotify#AI
Spotify says it leveraged its own in-house music experts’ knowledge base and insights unlike ChatGPT, which is trying to create answers by distilling information found on the wider web, Spotify’s more limited database of musical knowledge ensures the DJ’s commentary ends up being… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Practical use of A.I.
(part I) - Custom gifts for kids.
A lot of you are asking me about the practical use of A.I. and what skills someone may need and what they'll do to earn money doing A.I.
I made a number of custom children custom gifts.
Parents often asked me to train a model on photographs of their child so we could include the kid in A.I. generated story. Here's a tutorial I made on how to train a model on your photos:
If a child's 100% likeness isn't the goal, you can use Midjourney and using images as a reference. The final photo will be changed but the character will be more or less similar. Here's a tutorial on character consistency:
I'm taking another Machine Learning specialization. And here're 5 more AI courses I took in the past that helped me a lot both as a learner and a teacher.
🧵👇
Course 1: After talking to several people I thought I'll invest more time in learning. A lot of people perceive adulthood as the end of learning and only working, but that's where there'll be the first shift. Continuous learning to keep up. coursera.org/specialization…
Course 2: I took this course to see how best to explain AI to others. I think it's beneficial to take it to anyone. Besides, it's free and short: deeplearning.ai/courses/ai-for…
When I visit museums I always wonder what those broken sculptures looked like. Thanks to Generative Fill I restored some. The last one is my favorite.
Would absolutely love to see your restoration efforts: broken sculptures, ancient temples, anything goes!

When you visit me in New York we can see it together in the MET

RunwayML refused to work with her marking my images not appropriate, so I had to learn how to do frame interpolation in Adobe Premier. It's called Cross Dissolve and it's a doozy
1) commercial safety 2) transparency 3) great UI 4) inpainting and outpainting built into their most popular product, Photoshop 5) offering a separate free product (Firefly) 6) combining efforts with Google and NVIDIA

1) Adobe trained their model on images they had license for and it's important as governments started questioning how AI models were trained. There'll be regulations, which means having a commercially safe model is a priority. Quality can be improved by licensing more assets.

In the US there're hearings at Congress and at the Copyright Office (I was part of the conversation). There'll be rules and Adobe is doing it right europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-…
