I think that this response is confused. What is your point? That people can't differentiate random notes from a duet? That people would believe that anything associated with tensorflow was imbued with sophisticated behavior? How does that relate to this experiment? It's clearly not just playing random notes in the example video...

The AI is clearly improvising musically based on the input, it's far from random notes. It's actually pretty cool and I look forward to seeing where it goes from here. The person you're responding to is just an asshole.

  What's so hard to understand here? The music it plays sounds awful! I have no doubt te tech behind it is interesting but the results are pretty bad.

    I played with this for a while and never got the impression that it was random notes. A few times it played something quite musical which I found interesting and cool. There seems to be a lot of haters in here for what I can only imagine is some sort of sour grapes jealousy or some shit.. maybe it's the production quality of this video is out of proportion for the effort put into the experiment, I dunno but the experiment itself is cool.

      We're not "haters". Why is it that if someone disagrees then they must have some ulterior motive? We just think the music sounds bad! That's it! I wouldn't show this to anyone as an example of the power of AI because it's incredibly underwhelming. It's especially sad in these days where it seems like AI is pushing boundaries all the time. So in other words, we're not haters, we're just being honest about how disappointed we are.

      Like MattRix said, I was also extremely excited about this since I like to improvise on my piano. But it was simply underwhelming and all I did was express that. I didn't say the project itself was stupid. I love the idea itself, that's why I was excited at first. Also I was throwing a legitimate question. If you can't tell the difference between some random note generator and a deep-learning AI generated notes, what is the point? I don't know why I'm being called an asshole for asking a question with a counter-argument. I remember a couple of months ago a video went viral which was basically a short film based on a script written by a Tensorflow-based AI. I also loved that idea for the novelty, but had the same feeling as this one--I could just random-generate utterances and call it a day and people will have no idea. Basically my point is, there are a lot of narrow-domain use cases where deep learning is awesome, but in many cases it's not on par with human ability... yet. p.s. Maybe I have worse sense of music than you, but i have tried all kinds of variations. I would try dorian, pentatonic, blues, etc. and the only time where it kind of sounded sane was when you played easily recognizable notes like major scale (which beats the purpose of this whole AI thing). Of course one could call this "avant garde music" but like I said, I can write a random notes generator and call it that too.
