If a recording of someones very rare voice is representable by mp4 or whatever, could monkeys typing out code randomly exactly reproduce their exact timbre+tone+overall sound?
I don’t get how we can get rocks to think + exactly transcribe reality in the ways they do!
Edit: I don’t get how audio can be fossilized/reified into plaintext
Yes digital media, and computers in general, are miracles of science and engineering. Is there some reason digital audio in particular inspires you in this way, as opposed to digital images?
