第一次機器人指揮家
2020年在阿聯酋的一場音樂(le) 會(hui) 上,一個(ge) 人形機器人指揮了一個(ge) 現實生活中的人類管弦樂(le) 隊。在視頻中的這個(ge) 機器人名叫androids Alter 3,它在一個(ge) 基座上搖來搖去,揮舞著手臂,向一排排坐著的音樂(le) 家打手勢,就像一個(ge) 真正的活生生的大師。它所指揮的歌劇的名字是《可怕的美》(這一名字某種程度上很適合視頻裏機器人呈現出的陰森感),由日本作曲家涉穀圭一郎創作。
In 2020, an humanoid robot conducted a real-life human orchestra in UAE. In the video (watch below), we see the humanoid figure conducting and singing with a human orchestra with frightening precision. Swinging around on a pedestal, the ‘androids Alter 3’ robot waves its arms around and gestures to rows of seated musicians, just like a real living maestro. Rather fittingly, the name of the opera it is conducting is Scary Beauty, written by Japanese composer Keiichiro Shibuya.
機器指揮家"Alter 3"
與(yu) 最近幾年開發的其他類人機器人(如漢森機器人的Sophia機器人)類似,Alter 3的外表和動作都很像一個(ge) 人類。它的臉是最精致的身體(ti) 部分,靠在一個(ge) 金屬、機械化的身體(ti) 上,在指揮台上連續不斷地工作。“這項作品是人類和技術之間關(guan) 係的一個(ge) 隱喻。有時機器人會(hui) 發瘋,人類樂(le) 隊必須跟著走。但有時人類可以非常舒適地合作,”創作了這首曲目的日本作曲家Shibuya告訴路透社。雖然作曲家創作了音樂(le) ,但是機器人負責現場表演的節奏和動態,甚至在混音中添加了自己的電子人聲。“當然,前提是機器人是根據自己的意願移動。”它的技術員Kotobuki Hikaru說。
Much like other humanoid robots developed in the last few years, such as Hanson Robotics’ Sophia the Robot, Alter 3 both looks and moves like a human being. Its face is the most delicately formed body part, resting on a metal, machine-like body where all the technology can be seen working away as it conducts on the podium.“This work is a metaphor of the relations between humans and technology. Sometimes the androids will get crazy, human orchestras have to follow. But sometimes humans can cooperate very comfortably,” the composer told Reuters. While Shibuya wrote the music, the androids robot was in charge of the tempo and dynamics of the live performance, even adding its own electro-vocals to the mix. “The premise is that the androids itself is moving according to its own will,” said its technician Kotobuki Hikaru.
機器人取代人類藝術家?
這引發了一個(ge) 問題:機器人真的能取代指揮嗎?然而,在Facebook評論區的人們(men) 似乎並不這樣認為(wei) ...一位用戶寫(xie) 道:“這太荒唐了!人把能量和情感傳(chuan) 遞給樂(le) 團,並感受到回應來進行調整。機器人做不到這一點!機器人不能取代藝術家。”這是一個(ge) 有趣的論點。偉(wei) 大的美國指揮家倫(lun) 納德·伯恩斯坦曾說:“如果我在指揮他們(men) 的作品時不能成為(wei) 勃拉姆斯或柴可夫斯基或斯特拉文斯基,那麽(me) 就不會(hui) 是一場偉(wei) 大的表演。”伯恩斯坦還認為(wei) ,要指揮一支偉(wei) 大的交響樂(le) 團,你可以盡情研究樂(le) 譜,但當演出來臨(lin) 時,你需要拋棄所有的知識,“隻是感受”。像Alter 3這樣的機器人,很可能會(hui) 難以完全實現人類的“感受”能力。
This raises the question: can robots really replace conductors? Well, the people in the Facebook comments section don’t seem to think so... One user writes: “This is ridiculous!!! A human being transfers energy and emotion to the orchestra and feels it back to adjust to. A robot can’t do this! ARGH! a robot can’t take the place of an artist.” It’s an interesting argument, though. The great US maestro Leonard Bernstein once said: “If I don’t become Brahms or Tchaikovsky or Stravinsky when I’m conducting their works, then it won’t be a great performance.” Bernstein also worked to the idea that to conduct a great symphony, you can study a score all you like but when the performance comes, you need to throw all that away and “just feel”. Robots like Alter 3 will, presumably, struggle to completely fulfil the human ability to “feel”.
人工智能還有很長的路
音樂(le) 博主TwoSetViolin認為(wei) ,機器人遠遠不能取代人類指揮。根據他們(men) 的觀察,視頻中的Alter 3做了一些不必要且令人困惑的過度戲劇化動作,從(cong) 音樂(le) 角度來看沒有任何意義(yi) 。樂(le) 團中的音樂(le) 家甚至沒有看著Alter 3,這表明他們(men) 並沒有真正遵循機器人指揮的指示。作為(wei) 專(zhuan) 業(ye) 音樂(le) 家,他們(men) 認為(wei) 很明顯,迄今為(wei) 止沒有任何東(dong) 西能夠取代人類指揮。
指揮是非常困難的。他們(men) 必須了解每一種樂(le) 器。指揮需要太多的知識了。每一份樂(le) 譜都有上百樂(le) 行,指揮家要思考如何強調出每個(ge) 聲部的重點,如何做出決(jue) 定,以及如何用肢體(ti) 語言指示。並且,指揮家需要做的一個(ge) 重要的事情,是聽取音樂(le) 家的演奏方式並作出相應的回應。
例如,如果大提琴聲音太大,指揮家需要用適當的手勢指導大提琴,而機器人則做不到這一點。TwoSetViolin認為(wei) ,人工智能在取代指揮家之前,要先能做到取代小提琴家。要知道,指揮家通常是一個(ge) 樂(le) 團裏薪水最高的人,也是需要負責的工作最多,難度最大的人。
According to the music youtuber TwoSetViolin, the robot is far from replacing human conductor. According to them, Alter 3 in the video was doing extra dramatic movements that are unnecessary and confusing from a musical perspective. The musicians in the orchestra were not even looking at Alter 3, which suggests that they were not really following the direction of the robot conductor. As professional musicians, they think it is clear that nothing so far replaces the human conductor. Conducting is very difficult. They have to know every instrument every time. There’s so much intellectual required in conducting. There’s a hundred lines how you bring out each instrument how you make a decision. And there’s an important thing for conductors. They need to listen to and respond to how musicians are playing. For example if the cello is too loud the conductor needs to give gesture to direct the cello, which robots are not capable of. In fact, TwoSetViolin suggests that it will be earlier for AI to play the violin than the robot to conduct. After all, the conductor is usually the highest paid person in an orchestra, and the one who has to be responsible for the most difficult work.
你認為(wei) AI有一天可以取代人類指揮家嗎?
