Making AI Fart ============== By George Mandis https://george.mand.is/2023/05/making-ai-fart Tuesday, May 2nd 2023 I'll cut to the chase—because a man who took the time to make a computer fart clearly cares and respects, above all, other people's time. I recently noticed a project called AudioGPT on HuggingFace: * [https://huggingface.co/spaces/AIGC-Audio/AudioGPT](https://huggingface.co/spaces/AIGC-Audio/AudioGPT) It is a transformer capable of performing a variety of impressive audio tasks, including generation! You can make dog barks, guitar riffs, drum solos... ![Using AudioGPT to make a computer fart](https://georgemandis.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/aifart.png) The guitar riff and drum solo were interesting, if a bit disjointed and uncanny. I can imagine this will only improve, like so much other AI work happening right now. But I know why you came here. You want to hear a computer fart. - ⭐️ https://georgemandis.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ai-fart.mp3 💨 Well, there you have it. It also immediately passed the [Turing test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test) by proceeding to _deny_ the fart it had generated when I uploaded the file it had just given me and asked it to identify the sound: ![AudioGPT denying its own fart and blaming it on some oinking pigs](https://georgemandis.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ai-denies-fart.png) It claims the sound file "contains some pigs oinking twice." 🤨 It's not the [singularity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity)... but it'll do.
