A short interview segment where Roberto Nickson and an interviewer discuss Roberto's viral AI-generated Kanye West song: how he sang to train or prompt a model and produced vocals that sounded like Kanye, and how he now aims to streamline that creative process using a tool/workflow called Pulse (which ingests subreddit feeds sorted by Rising/New to find early viral content).
I mean, that's how I first learned about Roberto is like. I think that was, like, one of the most viral things in AI that I saw was, like, you doing this thing where you're singing it. You're singing, like, basically, like, training, creating a new Kanye song where you sing the song and then. And then it goes. And it sings it back to you with Kanye's voice. And that was just such a magical.
Too, that Roberto actually can kind of rap, too. Like.
Yeah, yeah.
If I was to try to do the same thing, it would not have come out. Like, that kind of is generous.
Yeah, it was. It was a pretty complicated process back then. And this is kind of like a cheat code for any creator out there. And part of the process that we're trying to streamline with Pulse is like, I have 30 subreddits that in a folder, and I have them sorted by Rising and New, right? And so a lot of the magic is in the Rising and New, that people that never picks up and never makes it to the hot or never makes it to the top of the feed.
