AI Can Predict Hit Songs with Frightening Accuracy

Because human behaviour is often predictable en masse, systems can model human behaviour, including music and writing styles and some aspects of visual art, with implications for how people intuit "creative" input

But I write here to say: mimicry of outcome from almost the philosopher in the cave isn't intelligence, despite what thought experiments imply, or people want to believe.

Machine hit picking isn't new btw.

Intelligence is a massive hill to climb. Picking off the edges is more or less useless to emerge a theory of mind, or anything else.

> So what they did was they had these listeners, while they were listening to songs were a wearable device, sort of like an Apple Watch, or a Fitbit, something that can track your cardiac activity. So your your heart rate, for instance. And they collected this cardiac data, and use it as a proxy for brain activity by putting it through this commercial platform immersion neuroscience, which claims to be able to measure emotional resonance and attention by using cardiac data.
