"In my work I explore how different processes can be automated. Recently, however, the hobby I love, took a different direction.
I have just released a new single, Typhoon. While I have previously produced electronic music, this time I got myself some real drums and a guitar.
I hadn’t played the drums for fifteen years, but for the song I was writing, I couldn’t get sounds I was happy with using programming.
With the drum set I ordered, the very first take was exactly what I had been looking for.
I could make music using AI but making it myself is so inspiring and rewarding that I don’t want to outsource it.
Lauri Järvilehto hadn't played the drums for 15 years, but the noticed he couldn't get the sounds he was looking for using programming.
However, I do use AI to make music videos. I don’t have the skills or the extra money to produce a high-quality video myself, and using AI allows me to create fantastic visuals.
It makes sense to use AI for tasks I find boring or don’t know how to do.
I used to be skeptical about AI
My work explores the differences and similarities between the human mind and AI. I am interested in how to optimally combine human mind and artificial intelligence.
I used to be skeptical about AI. But today, I’m amazed by the similarity between large language models and humans. The way a machine creates a space of meaning is very close to how deep human understanding is formed.
If you asked me whether a machine is capable of powerful expression, I’d answer yes, why couldn’t it?
And is it possible to make a machine that can think?
If I’d asked myself this a while ago, I would’ve said maybe not. Now, I say that it seems very likely.”
