Machine-generated music might be functionally equivalent to human-generated music, but that ignores the cultural role of art as a shared human experience - witness the liturgy of live music. That can't happen with music tailored to each listener, it can't happen without tracks that are fixed in time and can be referred to. I can imagine it well-accepted for dynamic music such as gaming soundtracks, but I suppose that machine generation will be mostly a production technique resulting in branded pieces.
- jimmygrapes 3y agoI know quite a few technically talented musicians who have next to no creativity in actually writing the music (aside from jazz style improv sessions). Most of them never really play live unless it's part of a similarly uncreative band of college friends. I wonder if having a catchy/complex AI generated song created for them to play live might be interesting to them. Gonna check in and see what they think.

- Jeff_Brown 3y agoSaying that's impossible makes me immediately wonder whether it's not. There are already headphone dance parties. What if a musical act's output was being interpreted through genre lenses specific to each listener?
