The Beatles won Grammy this year. It’s been 55 years since the group disintegrated and 45 years since John Lennon was shot. George Harrison died in 2001 and here sometimes we celebrate the Grammy winner.
This is obviously their final final song (they released their last song 30 years ago) if someone does not find one inside the Old Lennon mattress and we get the final final song. The Beatles continue to walk with little help with their friends. In this case, AI.
Last year, a portrait of mathematician Alan Turing brought $ 1.8 million. No surprise there, except that it was the first artwork of a humanoid robot that was sold in the auction.
And now we have Agatha Christie coaching aspiring writers. And who better than the author who sold two billion copies of her books? Christie, who died in 1976, was revived for the BBC online MasterClass. “Long arms by chance must not be too freely employed,” he says that slightly plummy voice that English sometimes uses to indicate an excellent class.
Christie’s expert advice is yours for $ 105. There are 11 classes in total, in two and a half hours. Isabelle Allende, a Chilian writer happily among us, gives you 21 lessons in four and a half hours for about $ 58.
The dead seem to have fun. And also earn more money.
So what are ethical problems in raising the dead? Is it morally acceptable to do it? Or is the question irrelevant because it is the place where the technology leads us, technology that will be more sophisticated and more common?
Obviously, there is a question of privacy and consent. In human experience, ethical disagreement rarely stood in the way of technological progress. Maybe as AI models gain more self -confidence and think about themselves, they can provide answers themselves.
Last year, the radio station in Poland broadcast an interview with the writer and winner of Nobel’s Wislaw Szymborska. The fear of technology replacing real people is valid – and so it is probably the fear of replacing dead people. At least the sensation of the radio station was a violation of journalistic principles.
Every big invention came up with their own ethical problems. For example, the arrival of cars has raised questions about road safety, the destruction of previous ways of transport and social impact on such “progress”. Likewise with radio and television and internet.
I personally look at the positive side. It means I don’t have to work hard. Long after I am dead, someone will ensure that I write a book that wins the Nobel Prize. Or finish the image that will be ranked next to Mona Lisa. Why use your own intelligence when artificial intelligence can do a trick?
If they could only find a way to convert to me, the millions that I would do in the future, I can enjoy the money while it is still alive.
