I wonder what fields these degrees are in...

Yes

This is a crime against humanity

In engineering/manufacturing, machine learning can be used to monitor performance and predict part failures of machines so you only do maintenance when it's actually required. Parts are usually replaced when the warranty runs out, but they will often still be good for a while.

Great for film sound too. You're filming a rainy scene and the rain is way to loud? You had to get the actors into the studio and do voiceover, now you can often just filter it out.

Surely nothing weird and, frankly, worrying, will be done with these tools...

The story is only stupid if you don't write it well. Think about how Raider of the Lost Ark stays the exact same without Indiana Jones. It sounds stupid, but what makes the story good is the characters and how they interact, their motivations and goals, the journey they take.

You can take any classic story and explain it in a stupid way to make it sound bad. Star Wars is about a kid being radicalised by a crazy old guy and committing acts of terrorism on government buildings, and the vice president is actually his dad. Sounds kinda dumb, but it's one of the most iconic stories of the 20th century.

As for your own idea, I don't see what's stupid about it. Batman's parents were hella rich and he's awesome.

Anyway, I recommend Brandon Sanderson's lecture series about writing Fantasy and SciFi, its on his YT channel.

Yes, a marine biologist came up with it originally.

2/2 wins and they cancelled it, gj paramount

Considering the level of oversight and quality control, probably not much. The only way the general public would know is that people would complain very loudly.

It goes further than that. Different singing techniques use more or entirely different muscle groups than talking. Some more extreme metal vocal techniques bypass the vocal cords almost entirely. Y'all should watch the Charismatic Voice videos where they stuck cameras and stuff down Will Ramos' throat.

It's probably much higher for that specific article
