It already exists, and is known as elevator music or muzak. I can certainly see the value in generating endless copyright-free background music, because so many human effort has been put into composing it already.
- easyThrowaway 4y agoSure, but the OP point was specifically about Classic Music, not incidental soundscapes.
- oriolid 4y agoI know, I wasn't the one who brought up the "acoustic equivalent of a screensaver".
- easyThrowaway 4y agoAlright, but why would I actually spend time to actively listen to it? Op was specifically talking about Classic music being replaced by AI in listening events, not about staying on hold on a phone calls or waiting on a parking spot.
- oriolid 4y agoYou wouldn't actively listening, and that's why generated muzak would be okay. "The acoustic equivalent of a screensaver", as someone in the thread called it. The idea that classical performances would be replace human composers in concert context is quite ridiculous. Maybe as a novelty, once, but that's all.
