Generative music is boring not cause it’s necessarily bad sounding music but because there’s no vision behind it, they took in old music, garbled it around in their magic music machine and made new music based on that old shit.

As long as there’s music made by real people this AI music stuff will only be interesting to the very uninspired, the people that will hype up anything that’s AI and commercial projects who don’t have to pay royalties for the music in their advertisements, elevator, phone waiting music and whatever else they need a quick tune for.

Don’t get me wrong, the technology is nice but I don’t see myself consciously enjoying AI music, at least not till I start dementing or smth.
