Why do you think AI music will sound like elevator music forever, when it’s already generating English text and code at such a high level? It’s quite possible that 10 years from now, Mick Gordon will sound passé when compared to the dynamic AI generated music. Maybe not, but definitely possible. There’s a lot of money to be made with better generation of music, and it’s going to be an area of exploration for sure.

There is no objective metric for what constitutes good art that you can train an AI towards, the closest thing we've come up with is teaching it that the samples of art in the training set are "objectively correct" so that it will try to make something similar. Better models achive higher fidelity but are stuck forever imitating rather than exploring new or less common ideas. Image generation is the most mature form of artistic generative AI, and the trend there has been towards introducing more human influence into the process to help guide the AI into creating something actually worthwhile. If the goal is to embed an unsupervised AI into a game engine and have it create consistently high quality and interesting music based on the current game state, with no human operator in the middle to curate and guide the process, we've got a hell of a long way to go.
