You don't need advanced AI to compose a blues, a toy script calling RNGs will give you a chord progression and rhythm of the backing track that 'works' and decent DSP will replicate authentic sound with great consistency. In fact, I'm pretty confident the toy script will consistently generate progressions which appeal to enthusiasts more than the neural network with a corpus of all the greatest blues performances in history, in much the same way I'd trust a pocket calculator over GPT-3 to perform basic addition. But the sum of those parts still isn't quite the same as watching a bearded middle aged bloke with a guitar trot out the same basic chord progression over a slightly sloppy drummer, so people rarely pay to watch blues soloists (themselves often playing something which in terms of basic composition is just common variations on a scale) play over a prerecording.
- instagraham 4y agoAt least in the case of social science, I would argue that it is not dead simple. It is volumes upon volumes of research just to describe what happens in a small district in a small town. But many who opine freely on matters that affect entire societies, miss this fact, in much the same manner that a script kiddie might imagine that they are some form of terrific hacker--only to realise just how shallowly they have scratched the surface.
