It's no longer just small talk. Debate over AI intrusion and its usefulness That possibility is happening here and across the country in cafes, workplaces, and even on the dinner tables of many families around the world.
“Hey, I think you should take some classes to learn about AI,” my husband suggested recently while we were eating dinner. “No, Dad,” our teenage child said suddenly. He kept telling me about video clips that I might mistake for the real thing, saying, “You don't need to learn about it. Just be careful!”
Some children think their parents don't need to learn about AI because they've managed to get by without it, but now it's harder than ever to ignore it. The moment you open your phone or computer, like a genie or a personal assistant inside a magic lamp, your phone or computer is already staring at you on its screen, patiently waiting for your input.
But it turns out their answers aren't always correct, depending on the information they were initially given. When my child's friend Rami, 17, heard his father's advice about his future career, that he should learn about AI and try to get a job in this field, he just burst into tears.
Rami spends his time as an artist, drawing original animated characters and selling them online. She gets paid to do it and receives a sizable amount for each order. Since they don't have to beg their parents for pocket money, they have achieved a status close to that of idols among their friends.
“Mom, look, if Rami's father tells her to do AI, it will kill her as an artist,'' the child began to explain. “When she lets the AI use her work input, the AI reuses it for a million other people, and the originality of the work disappears without a trace.”
The same goes for music. If AI can be used to provide different samples of your own melodies and songs, it will be used by others, just as you might use someone else's work to sample some styles or songs.
When overseas students return to Vietnam for Christmas break, they talk about how AI has impacted their lives both on and off campus. The overwhelming question everywhere is how not to use AI for writing, essays, and papers, and how to use apps to track whether someone has used AI tools for writing, photography, or video.
Regulations are beginning to warn students not to overuse the convenience of tools, but to stay up to date with the latest developments in the field.
It has to be a two-way street. If you provide your own copyrighted work to AI, you may use previous copyrighted works of others, and vice versa. When you use AI, you are already standing on top of the giants of time and history, creating something without your signature.
Over the past few months, Vietnam's music scene has been rocked by songs composed by Ken Quách (Quách Anh Thảo) and Hương Ly Bông (Nguyễn thị Hương Bông), two music lovers with no connection to the music world. They enter information for the AI to write lyrics, write musical accompaniment, and sing new songs. please don't say itis translated as forever drunk on you.
The song debuted in August and became an instant hit. Today, four months later, the song has been played more than 16 million times and has been covered by real singers. It's a romantic song that incorporates rumba beats and soul rap, and was written specifically for heartbreak.
The metal version of this song was put together by a group of rockers on YouTube, who aim to build a rock community in Vietnam and want to provide listeners with an explosive, different and inspiring musical experience. The song's chorus was used in hundreds of thousands of TikTok videos, and later used by a million other people in their music reels.
Without any marketing efforts, the song and chorus spread quickly and could be heard in cafes, restaurants, co-working spaces, or parks as training music for open classes.
Singer Nguyen Vu recently released a version of the song with permission, which was played over 2 million times and received positive reviews. AI could give you a perfect version with no undertones, but when a human sings, it makes a difference because they sing with emotion. “I'm going to compare,” he reportedly said.
Vu pointed out the most important elements that make any art special. It is the human emotion, musicality, and nuance that conveys heartfelt warmth and makes art come alive and necessary to all of us.
As with art and music, the author's personal attitude makes the work come alive and move. If you need research for your job, AI can help. True works of art still need to be created using human emotion, sweat, tears, and sometimes blood. VNS
