   in my opinion (again I'm a user / not a developer) feel like the data/computing/training requirements are MUCH higher. Think about the RGB values / pixel in an image vs raw audio waveform.... just takes more $$$.

    Hi all - This is a follow up from a recent HN thread on AI generated music [1]. I posted some songs I've been making using Jukebox and there seemed to be a little interest on the "how-to"... I typed something up quickly. Her
