Not infrequently, I listen to music with lyrics in a language that I don’t understand well, alongside which I sometimes do things like listen carefully to the pronunciation, or look up the meaning and consciously nudge myself to associate the words I didn’t previously know. I’m not serious enough about this to measure, but from self-observation it seems like I’ve picked up or reinforced a noticeable amount of language patterns via exposure (indeed, implicit and untuned spaced repetition) that way. Lyrics being a form of poetry broadly, and especially the use of children’s music in early learning more specifically (where my guess would be that the use of melody might help anchor the representations in memory), also seem suggestive of pro-language-acquisition music activities. How does your model treat this?
I’ve already outlined the model. This really was just a test of Lesswrong. I think what I’ve said will be an obvious accepted truth in the future. Either once we’ll get AIs capable of deducing contrarian things from first principles or once our society grows up a bit. I don’t want to argue my side more tbh but what you’ve outlined is just one example of a very rare usecase of music which really doesn’t disprove anything.
Alright @dirk I’m happy to make a bet since you think it’s less than one percent I’m going to be generous and give you 8:2 odds. Eg. you put up $800 I’ll put up $200. And once we’ll have truth seeking AI whether it will confirm that my model is correct.
