Your favorite song loses its ability to trigger your dopamine when you listen to it 100 times in a row. Being able to generate unlimited music in the style of your favorite song sounds amazing.

What? The more I listen to the same song, the more it excites me. This is a reliable effect that is even more pronounced with my favorite music.

  You must be fun on road trips haha. I’ve never heard of someone enjoying a song more after the 100th time. I’d say there’s a sweet spot around the 3rd or 4th play for me, after that I enjoy the song less on each play.

    I just checked my last.fm stats and for my top artist I have around 7400 listens over a few years time. The artist has 110 songs listed on last.fm so on average 67 listens per track. The most listened track is at over 200 times, but that is mainly due to the shuffle algortihm. The actual numbers are quite a bit higher since not all of the listens have been tracked. I still listen to this artist daily.

It's interesting - I cannot wrap my head around how anybody could think that idea is amazing, but I don't really want to pass any judgement on it, I just wonder if we fundamentally have different relationships to music.

> Your favorite song loses its ability to trigger your dopamine when you listen to it 100 times in a row. Being able to generate unlimited music in the style of your favorite song sounds amazing. One thing that would be innovative / creative: Imagine if an artist writes a song, then trains an AI on their own new song. After doing that, they could have the AI produce a hundred variations of the song, and crowdsource which one is the best. I understand they do something with commercials, but in a manual way. They basically publish multiple commercials and then measure the response to gauge which commercial resonates the most.
