Ingenuity aside, it’s gotta be hella hard to actually play that with that lag.

u/Eena-Rin 2d ago

Okay, but now that it's modelled you can probly tweak it to show what people are actually playing in movies and tv shows, like that one YouTube channel does

This sounds interesting. Sauce?

u/MrRizzley 13h ago

Why didn't he play normally but waiting for the key Sound?

I think this is a spoof on AI because this is pretty much how it works

Yeah he’s rolling around in conversational feces for artistic brilliance here

u/NocturneInfinitum 2d ago

This would’ve been far more interesting if he didn’t have to plug anything in

u/nuestras 2d ago

Well, i like it.

u/ForeverSJC 2d ago

I DONT WANT TO GO THERE AND PLUG THIS KEYBOARD

SO I'LL JUST PLUG THIS KEYBOARD IN TO TRAIN THE MODEL........

u/Weigh13 2d ago

That literally is the joke.

u/ForeverSJC 2d ago

joke

I must be too old for these newer kinds of jokes

u/Weigh13 2d ago

I think you might just not have a good sense of humor if you couldn't tell this guy was joking.

u/nuestras 2d ago

🤣🤣🤣 i know i know, but that's the beauty, so so so useless

So it's quite cold here and instead of putting on a sweater, I'll set this forest on fire.

Progress !

I love it

u/czerilla 2d ago

What do you mean "why"? The guy told you, the tripod was out of reach once.. 🙃

u/Willing-Choice5941 2d ago

It's a bit jittery

u/Normal-Error-6343 1d ago

works for me!

u/RedOneBaron 1d ago

I can only see this being humorously useful to hear what people are actually playing if they are fake playing for a concert for some reason. But it would need more training data.

u/Hawtin99 1d ago

Here is the same video on YouTube and TikTok

u/osiekowski 1d ago

Could be useful for recreating audio when there's a lot of other noise

u/llcentrell 23h ago

The classic how before the why, this is just like my programming group project in uni; making music via Excel's VBA

u/KyeeLim 23h ago

on one thing, why

on the other thing, I love stupid invention like this

u/xor_music 14h ago

Just wait til he hears about midi

u/kingedOne 12h ago

This made me chuckle but also reminded me of a good movie drumline about American school bands battling each other and a student was using something similar

u/margogogot1 12h ago

The lengths people will go to avoid using their gear as it was intended to be used. 🙄

u/Katzelle3 2d ago

Was the use of an AI necessary though? The camera was conveniently placed in a controlled environment and the finger positions within the image are entirely predictable.

u/i_am_icarus_falling 2d ago

Was the use of an AI necessary though?

i think this might be the whole point. none of the shit they use AI for is necessary. they're spending trillions on a useless gimmick.

u/Doggfite 1d ago

He wasn't using an AI like gemini or chatgpt, an LLM, he was using a neural network which is something he likely built and trained himself on his own computer.

Not necessary, sure, but not even remotely the same as using an LLM

2

u/i_am_icarus_falling 1d ago

it's all machine learning using pattern matching. while the scale and resources/medium may be different, they are still analogous.

5

u/Doggfite 1d ago

Not in the context of overuse and waste, not even vaguely comparable. It might be comparable to people running llms on their own machine, but not to 2026 capital A Artificial capital I Intelligence.

u/kaleperq 1d ago

You would still need machine vision to identify all versions or similar versions of the specific note being played, as well as a lot of them back to back with limited visibility

u/sundiego007 2d ago

Just plug the thing and play it. 🙄

u/r_was61 Ramen or Die 2d ago

It would not have been difficult to line up his “unrelated b roll” which was totally off.

u/r_was61 Ramen or Die 2d ago

He says he doesn’t want to plug in the piano, but to get his data he says, “I now need to plug in this piano.”

Happy Birthday song isn't public domain, right?

Edit, not anymore

This is just the beginning. Watch how this will evolve to reading brain waves and knowing exactly what you're thinking.

Didn't think I'd be scrolling reddit and find live action shaggy giving a tutorial on how to play the keyboard without scoobs! Zoinks, Like, c'mon Scooby-do, where are you?!
