Can ai determine the symbolism it wants in a song and then choose whether the direction of a scale is down or up or which harmonies are used to convey it?
Just like real visual artists who put real thought and specific meaningful things in their images being basically beyond what visual ai can do... As a composer beyond the 'just makin a catchy tune for da moneyz', I don't have any fear of ai music. Music can convey the soul of it's maker. what soul does an ai have? Can you hear it's experiences in it's music?
So the people who don't learn instruments and instead enjoy ai music I personally don't see anything wrong with. Sure, go ahead! I do the same with visual art cuz I can't draw. Hopefully you can make something you enjoy. :) But there is a level of shallowness ai can't go beyond.
So I personally can interpret that ceo statement as decent and true for alot of his target audience without problem. Tho, for the sake of not getting 150 downvotes, disregard everything i said and pretend i immediately grabbed my luigi hat and 3d printed poison crossbow while yelling angrily, fist in the air.
