"Red and White Appearance" AI Skylark behind the scenes to produce the true face of "disturbing", is it necessary to formulate regulations?
The 70th "NHK Red and White Song Festival" was held. The highlight of this year is that the Miku Skylark, who died in 1989, will be resurrected with AI (artificial intelligence), and the new song "From Thereafter" after 30 years will be released on December 18.
Takeshi Kitano and Reina Izuhara and others starred in the commemorative image of the song. Kitano said, "This is Mikon's highest masterpiece, a very good song," referring to the tears that Hara shed when he listened to this song, "Now that I think about people who are not around, will I cry when I hear it?"
In September, NHK aired a documentary about the production of Miku Skylark, which was resurrected by artificial intelligence. On the show's homepage, as a reflection of the audience, "Super Crying." appeared. Great project. It's also a great show. Save forever. I hope that the people of the whole country can watch it" and "this year's red and white song will be very much looking forward to it from now on" and other praise voices. On the other hand, there are also critical opinions "fearing that it will become a blasphemy against Mr. Skylark".
It's not just some people who feel uncomfortable.
Manga artist Ryoko Kobayashi published a blog titled "You Can't Insult the Miku Skylark." He wrote: "The song of the Skylark is not a kind of bland thing, and it cannot simply be reproduced on a computer."
Shizuo Yamakawa, a former NHK announcer who has been the host of the Red and White Song Club White Group for nine consecutive times since 1974, said in an interview with the Mainichi Shimbun that "even though the sound seems to be very close, the maturity of the image is 'to that extent'": "But I am against doing this."
So, if the technology is further developed, the Voice and Appearance of the American Air AI can become a replica of myself, would it be good? Miko Nakamura, an actress who is friends with Miku Skylark, said on a Japanese radio program: "The simplest thing to say is 'hate'. Sure enough, I can still be here to make people move, I hope I can sing this song. ”
However, the things that make the deceased a "work" often happen in movies, TV series, etc. from the past to the present. In the film "Bohemian Rhapsody", which describes the 2018 hit British rock band "queen", the performance of Rami Malek, who plays the protagonist, is very similar to that of lead singer Freddie Mogheri, and has become the topic. But seeing this scene, I am afraid that few people will feel that this is "blasphemy against the deceased" (live actor). However, if the "copy" of the American Skylark with AI technology will trigger the controversy of "whether to be moved to reunite or insult the deceased".
