More realistic than real sounds
Artificial intelligence generates sound effects that fool the human ear

Researchers seek to develop artificial intelligence that generates sound effects that simulate reality enough to deceive the general public, and this is news that may spoil the enjoyment of the viewer, or cause the aura of the magic of films to fade among its fans, because many of the sound effects that we hear in films and television are prepared and modified later by Folie artists Art.
In a recent study, according to the Dubai Future Foundation's Future Observatory, a small group of participants fell into the deception, believing that the noise produced by artificial intelligence was real, according to EEE Spectrum reports. Sometimes, participants chose AI voices as more realistic than real voices in the audio.
In a study published in June 2020 titled “IEEE Transactions on Multimedia,” 41 out of 53 participants were deceived by the sounds generated by artificial intelligence.
This sounds horrific for the fate of the FolieArt artists, who are working on creating sound effects in the studio, but for now, the algorithm for producing simulated sounds is still far from perfect.
Artificial intelligence is taking its first steps, now, in this field, and the challenge in the future will be to figure out how to match the sound with the actual video that it is supposed to represent. Not only do the sound effects have to appear real to deceive the audience, they must also coincide with the movement in the video. This is the reason why the included videos, produced by the entire artificial intelligence of the sounds of rain or crackling fire, seem convincing, but this video that depicts a running horse does not show the harmony between the sound and the image, it is clear that the cutting and merging of the motion clips do not match the steps The horse, so the video looks fake.
Until artificial intelligence masters these technologies, the jobs of Foly Art artists and sound editors will remain protected.
