I teamed up with OpenAl’s Whisper and had a lot of fun hacking on interactive transcripts this weekend. The neural net handled the transcription, so I, the human, could focus on programming and implementing the user interface.
See the demo below or live (in Swedish).

AI is increasingly used to generate spam content. Spambots explores what would happen if, instead, machine learning was used to empower a group of robotic Spam cans to tell their tales.
I love how Neil Mendoza’s cute spambots tirelessly remix Huxley’s work. Via Lynn Cherny.
