Uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

  • Website text: No artificial intelligence (AI) was or is used to write or edit the text on any part of our website. All text content on our website was and is written and edited solely by humans and, therefore, may contain errors and omissions.
  • Images: We’ve used AI tools to create, modify, and customize some images on our website. We primarily use Adobe Firefly’s AI models to create, modify, and otherwise shape images we use on certain pages. We’ve also used several AI photo restoration software tools to recover detail, enhance, and sharpen low-resolution photographs appearing on our website. The principal tools we use for photo restoration are Topaz Labs’ Gigapixel, Photo, Bloom, and Mosaic and AIarty’s Image Enhancer. We include notices on our web pages that include AI-created and AI-enhanced images.
  • Audio clips: We’ve used stem separation tools to extract individual instruments and voices from and remix some Sonobeat recordings that were made in the 1960s and 1970s. Hundreds of Sonobeat recordings were recorded in “fixed” 2-track stereo mixes that are impossible to remix for clarity or to isolate instruments or voices without the use of AI tools. Our favorite stem separation tools are Hit ’n’ Mix’s RipX Daw, Izotope’s RX, and Steinberg’s Spectralayers.
