  > This seems like a similar comment that would have been made about drum machines I doubt that. Simplified and (semi-)automated instruments have been around for a long time since there is legitimate interest in such tools from musicians. The difference here is that people have a tendency to regard machine generated output as more "correct" (whatever that means). The same psychological mechanisms that make Level 3 autonomy in cars and aeroplanes so dangerous can lead to a future where a closed loop automated content generation (e.g. train the next gen GAN on output from the previous gen GAN) kills all creativity and conditions us to prefer the generated aesthetic.
