Why do people cough more during classical music concerts? About 10 years ago a German economist "dropped" a paper titled "Why Do People (Not) Cough in Concerts?: The Economics of Concert Etiquette", basically claiming that concertgoers cough on purpose. “If coughing were purely accidental, it should occur evenly distributed over the concert, which is not the case,” he points out in this paper along with the fact that coughing increases during slower, quieter movements - something that anyone who frequents concerts must have noticed. Strangely, coughing also ramps up during complicated passages, or those unfamiliar to the audience. The author basically proposes that coughing is a passive-aggressive commentary on “uninteresting” sections of the performance.

Insights from Music to AI-Generated Content As OpenAI faces a potential copyright lawsuit, I realized the history of music has had similar well-known cases. Probably folks who are familiar with the electronic dance music band Prodigy know how they composed their music: https://lnkd.in/gXyEcj5J (For Zoomers - their songs were mostly mixes based on beats/samples of other musicians. There are multiple videos on YouTube showing this technique) What is important to us is that sampling is a common technique in music production, and there is a legal framework for dealing with the source material. Producers typically clear the rights to use these samples, either by obtaining permission from the original artists or by licensing the samples through proper channels to avoid copyright infringement issues. And yes, that was done for Prodigy. Thus, the ideal solution could be for LLM models to allow consumers to trace knowledge used to build up a response back to original authors, so consumers - provided we are talking about IP or commercial usage - may obtain appropriate copyright clearance.
