An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics
Czech ice dancers Katerina Mrazkova and Daniel Mrazek are learning the hard way that LLMs sometimes spit out straight-up plagiarism.
TL;DR
- Czech ice dancers Kateřina Mrázková and Daniel Mrázek used AI-generated music in their Olympic rhythm dance.
- The rhythm dance theme was 'The Music, Dance Styles, and Feeling of the 1990s'.
- Their AI music included lyrics and styles suspiciously similar to existing songs by New Radicals and Bon Jovi.
- The use of AI music has led to backlash and concerns about plagiarism and the future of creativity in sports.
- The International Skating Union governs competitive ice skating and has rules regarding music choices.
