> The lyrics were in fact composed by a neural network (Sheeran) trained on Sheeran's past work The use of the term "neural network" to refer to artificial intelligence is an interesting and perhaps successful marketing term, but it's not really correct to say that Sheeran's actual works are composed by a "neural network" in the same sense that any computational product is. It's a collision of terminology. In computing, neural networks are at best a model for cerebral computation - and even then, they're an incredibly crude model, as any neuroscientist will tell you that cognition works very differently from LLMs. Even when they arrive at similar outcomes, the paths they take to get there are radically different.
