Have you been moved by any of that music though? Am I missing something?

- TomMarius 6y agoYeah, it's very moving to see a human-made machine do such wonders. Fills me with awe, appreciation, and hope.
- dahfizz 6y agoThat's exactly it, though. This stuff is interesting because of the novelty of AI. The works themselves are not independently relevant (not yet, at least).
- TomMarius 6y agoElsewhere someone replied that art is interesting in a large part because of the personal story. How is this differemt?
- FartyMcFarter 6y ago99% of the time, I don't listen to music for the personal story of the artists involved. In fact, a lot of the music I listen to is made by artists that I know very little about.
- woko 6y agoListen to some samples: - https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/ https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/ (2020, quite good, but no classical music) - https://openai.com/blog/musenet/ https://openai.com/blog/musenet/ (2019 so not as good as the 2020 one, but showcases classical music) There is no reason to assume that one cannot be moved by AI-generated music, as the AI has learnt from human-generated music and tries to mimick the styles.
- vnorilo 6y agoWhile it's technically impressive and has a decent surface-level resemblance, none of the samples had any sense of direction or substance. I can see this kind of tech taking over stuff like stock music that's automatically added to consumer holiday videos or played on the phone while you wait for a customer service agent. That said, I'd expect the agent to be an AI long before generated music becomes independently musically relevant.
