as with all ML things... the code is much less % of the value than the data...

Surprised to see how that got it worked with out all the "AI" bluff

Perhaps obviously this is the same technique that enables ACR on TVs.

It occurs to me that Shazam has such a better reputation online because the intent and consent of the user is honored.

It makes me wonder if there couldn’t be an implementation on TVs that is similar and actually is a net positive for consumers. Basically would customers actually like TV ACR if the data wasn’t just going to sell more ads?

This has been explained so many times… a wizard imbued the kid with the powers of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury.

Out of curiosity is it possible to prevent shazam like app from detecting maybe by adding noise or any technique ?

Recognizing a recording isn't hard to do, because, for the same recording, the chords follow each other with precisely repeatable timing. That's been around for well over a decade. Recognizing a different recording, say, a, cover version, of the same song, is much more work.

Audible Magic claims to be able to recognize multiple performances of the same songs, and even parodies.[1] Using, of course, "AI technology" and much more compute.

I did this for a science project in 1986 on an Apple ][c computer !

Reminds me of Roy Van Rijn’s prototype that got a cease and desist letter! Lots of community disappointment at the time!
