GRAS Sound has just released new, AI-powered, virtual audio reviewer technology. Michael Fremer, Jim Austin, Steve Huff and the rest of the dilettantes in subjective audio journalism better figure out what their next careers will be because their days are numbered.
This is truly a modern marvel. Check out the hardware for the virtual reviewer:
Personally, I think they’ve nailed it.
The mouth is gaping in astonishment at how 3 dimensional the imaging is. The eyes have the blank, unknowing look of a listener who doesn’t understand any of the science of sound reproduction. And the ears are available in any hue of gold you like (shown here with the pink colored prototypes).
This is hooked up via a 400Tb/sec optical WAN to the 6,100-qubit neutral-atom array developed by researchers at Caltech.
Once the dataset collected from the listening sessions using the Audiophile-Head Origin Listening Emulator (A-HOLE) is transferred to the quantum computer, it takes anywhere from a week to a couple months to process the data and turn it into a semi-coherent stream of thought that is the audio review.
Much of the processing power is consumed by the logic dither algorithm that tries to make sense of considering itself to be an expert when it actually knows so little. Apparently, making an AI both arrogant and ignorant is exceedingly complex.
At present, it draws the electrical equivalent of a small city to write one review, but so what? If it puts Fremer and his ilk out of business, I say it’s worth it.
