In June 2024, the news dispersed on the Internet that an unusual show took place in California: there was a robot on the stage that sang songs and read rap. We checked the reliability of such publications.
In mid -June, Facebook users became share The news of the first concert in history was a robot developed by Technfusion Dynamics. Some publications They scored thousands of likes and reposts. The authors of the posts gave mass details “For example, that Techfusion Dynamics, Apple and Openai participated in the creation of the robot, the robot communicated with the public“ in perfect English with a light British accent ”and“ reacted to changes in the mood of the public ”. Also users shared The impressions of the actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Jessica Chastain, the co -founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, the head of the Hypersound startup Jane Synthesis and the artificial intelligence of Ilon of the Macedonian.
IN comments The attitude to the news was divided. One reacted negatively (“Well, a star star to all stars singing your mouth?” And “disgusting, it would be better to send robots to war instead of men”), others welcomed Such innovations in the field of artificial intelligence (“Cool! It is interesting when the robots will already replace the artists who left our world, such as Michael Jackson!” And “We will soon go not to concerts of your favorite artists, but to concerts of your favorite robots. On the one hand, it’s sad, but on the other, it is progress, and not the fact that it is negative”). The distribution of news was not limited to Facebook: similar publications can be found in Telegram, X, Instagram, "VKontakte" Livejournal and some Media.
The exact place of the concert varies from one post to another. Some users They saythat it took place in the Silicon Valley (as mistakenly called Silicon Valley In the state of California, due to the similarity of the English words Silicon, that is, “silicon”, and Silicone, “silicone”). In others publications The place of the show is completely indicated by a certain selective valley in San Francisco. At the request of the "breeding valley" in Russian and English, "Google Cards" did not give out a single result.
Judging by the photographs accompanying posts, the concert took place in a large stadium with at least two tiers and seats of red-orange. There are about 15 sports arenas in Silicon Valley, but only two of them are visually similar to the place from the pictures: ""Sanford Stadium" And Levi's stadium. On the official sites of both sites there is no information about an innovative show.
Search for news about the concert given by the robot in English gave no more than a dozen results: two publications in Linkedin (1 And 2), one post on social networks X And Instagram, note on the portal Newo.ai And on the news Portal Ministry of Information and Communications of Vietnam. Probably, if such an event really took place in the United States, the largest American and international media would write about this, but they completely ignored the news.
Many publications indicate that the creation of the robot took part Techfusion Dynamics, Apple And Openai. Nevertheless, there are no press releases about the concert on the official websites of these companies. Other bloggers share quotes of celebrities who allegedly attended a performance, but in verified accounts DiCaprio, Chastein And Tsuckerberg There are no posts on this subject in social networks. And two more people mentioned in viral news - Jane Synthesis and Ilon of Macedon - judging by the results of the search in Google, simply does not exist.
It is also strange that on the Internet you can find only four photos allegedly taken during the concert. It is unlikely that with the number of spectators captured on viral frames, no one published a photo or video of what is happening on social networks. Using the service Ai or not To recognize images created by artificial intelligence, we checked four photos from the news posts. The algorithm determined that with a high degree of probability they were all generated by the neural network.
The earliest publication about the show - the post of community TechSol On Facebook, published on June 12 at 10:01 pm Moscow time. Judging by the description of the profile, it belongs to the company that sells individual chat bots, and on its page on social networks regularly publishes news about artificial intelligence and content generated AI. In the comments K. post Techsol about the concert one of the users wrote: “Generated with a chat boot, do not think what is real. But the future is already here ”, to which the author of the publication replied:“ Yes, it is generated by a chat boot, but who said that fantasy cannot become a reality? ” And in response to another comment, he added: “People tend to believe in any information, especially if it looks believable. Maybe this is an occasion to think about how easy it is to manipulate perception and learn to be more legible? ”
Thus, the news of the first concert in history, which was given by the robot, is the result of the work of generative artificial intelligence: both text and images were created by a neural network.
