> The art is... the AI algorithms ... To the extent that this is a common POV, it is a bit of a problem for AIVA, in contrast with open systems. Because how do you assess the "art" that might or might not be embodied in AIVA's algorithms, when those algorithms are not in fact available for scrutiny? Where's the compelling expression, the impressiveness, that is supposed to be a defining feature of "true" art? It's nowhere to be seen, really - all we have is some "magic" and we can at best surmise about what it might be doing under the hood. The developers of, e.g. BachBot, DeepBach and other open systems seem to be in a rather more enviable position as "true" artists!

It's basically like Antares Autotune in music, to correct "singers" who can't really actually sing, which is most in the top charts today. There are few current top-chart artists who can truly sing (Gaga, Sheeran are some who can actually sing - with 0 effects). I'm not talking about using it as a vocal effect, but as it was originally intended - to correct pitch of singers who can't really sing. Although I think many using it as an effect also can't really sing and hide behind the effect to mask that fact. It's just a crutch for sub-par singers.
