We are all the scatman

Synthetic media describes the use of artificial intelligence to generate and manipulate data, most often to automate the creation of entertainment. One of the inevitable capabilities of artificial general intelligence will be the ability to understand and synthesize reality. As such it should not be to anyone's shock that as we approach the era of general AI our computers become increasingly capable of mimicking creativity and imagination to generate new and altered forms of media. One of the capabilities of artificial intelligence is the ability to generate content for use in music, visual art, CGI, and photo/video manipulation. Generation, smart manipulation, personalized content, and media synthesis are woefully overlooked abilities of machine learning.
