#2Like Scott Manley says, going from a frequency domain image representation to a time domain sound file is something that is extremely old and does not and has not required AI the last 50 years. It's just that they vibe coded the extremely old, extremely normal algorithmic solution. AI did not recreate the dead pilots voice, it just made data preparation and coding a bit less work.
It's almost certain you've used software or seen/heard software output today that transformed between frequency domain and time domain. It's ubiquitous.

you are correct - I coded this in the late 1980s with digital sound domain experts

#4Why did they need the spectrogram?

#5Not everything is AI, they provided the spectogram. Even a trained eye can read one, especially if context is provided.

#6Why did they need the spectrogram?
I'm only an ardent viewer of crash investigation stuff, not a pro, but it seems to be a good way to show specifics of warning noises, engine sounds, unusual cabin noises (if relevant) and sometimes even structural failures happening over time in a more direct way from the cockpit voice recorder without sharing the actual "audio".

#7Why did they need the spectrogram?
Where else would they get sounds from inside the cockpit that weren’t transmitted on the radio?

FFTs are found in every nook and cranny of modern communications and computing.

It says in the article that the creator used OpenAI Codex, presumably because the spectrogram image wouldn’t have enough resolution by itself.
