The influence of generative AI on popular music: Fan productions and the reimagination of iconic voices

This essay explores the burgeoning phenomenon of fan-generated content that utilizes generative artificial intelligence (AI) to mimic the voices of deceased or retired popular music artists. This practice can be seen as an extension of Digital Audio Workstations’ (DAWs’) capabilities, potentially leading to the creation of musical pieces that resemble traditional covers and mash-ups. The essay analyzes three representative works in this creative category. Two of them are of a fan nature, exploring imagined alternative paths in the development of popular music, while the third is a parody. As these examples demonstrate, the rise of AI covers raises numerous questions. These include concerns about the nature of human creativity and the potential response of the music industries to this technology’s proliferation.

In the Pool of Imagination: Diving into Miraji’s “The Caves of Ajanta”

ABSTRACT In the poem ‘The Caves of Ajanta,’ Urdu poet Miraji (1912–49) presents a sensuous experience of imagination as a type of terrain, the features of which are formed from time itself. Underlying this impersonal geography is an understanding of permeable personhood that is central to Miraji’s creative and critical practices. Miraji’s poem describes imagination as having a texture, a speed, and a disposition. By drawing on Buddhist technologies of the self and conceptions of temporality, he complicates the inherited sense of a coherent and continuous individual, along with the geography of Ajanta itself, through the medium of imagination. This article situates this movement towards impersonal imagination within Miraji’s larger poetic and critical oeuvre, including how it contributes to a larger project of reimagining the categories of life and creativity.

A task-oriented framework for generative AI in design

The intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Design disciplines such as Architecture, Urban Planning, Engineering and Product Design has been a longstanding pursuit, with Generative AI (GAI) ushering in a new era of possibilities. The research presented here explores how GAI can enhance creativity and assist Design practitioners with tasks to create products such as, but not limited to, renderings, concepts, construction techniques, materials, data analytics or maps. We apply a framework of combinational, exploratory and transformational creativity to organize how recent advancements in GAI can support each creative category. We propose a conceptual framework of GAI towards transformational creativity, and identify real-world examples to demonstrate GAI's impact, such as transforming sketches into detailed renders, facilitating real-time 3D model generation, predicting trends through analytics and creating images or reports via text prompts. Our work envisions a future where GAI becomes a real-time collaborator to complete certain automated tasks while liberating Designers to focus on transformational innovation.

Boost Your Brain. Om lexikal kreativitet i faktaböcker för barn i ett svensk-engelskt perspektiv

This study investigates the expression of lexical creativity in Swedish and English nonfiction books for children aged 3–12. The first part examines the pattern of lexical creativity in 14 nonfiction books, originally written in Swedish. In these books, simile, metaphor, anthropomor- phism, neologism and wordplay are the most common categories of lexical creativity, whereas alliteration, allusion and other creative expressions are much less frequent. These findings are compared with the expressions of lexical creativity in two English nonfiction children’s books of similar contents. Analysis reveals that one of the books, Moira Butterfield’s How Animals Build, has a pattern of lexical creativity much like that of the Swedish books. In the Swedish translation of this book, most of the lexical creativity is preserved. The other English book, General Knowledge Genius! by Chrisp et al., exhibits a non-target-like pattern of lexical creativity, resulting in a considerable loss of lexical creativity, in particular alliteration, in the Swedish translation. The article ends by discussing the main factors related to the neutralisation of lexical creativity in these books, namely divergent genre norms in the source and target cultures, target group adap- tation as well as the translator’s effort to maintain the stylistic level and coherence.
