>>55709586How are we defining "real music?" Most of it is in the box these days, with synthetic (algorithmic) adjustments to pitch (autotune) and tempo (to "humanize" quantized notes, especially in drums).
Do we discriminate between AI that generates sound (really image generation but on spectrographs) versus one that is more a text model trained on something akin to sheet music (perhaps through MIDI files etc)?
And I sure as hell don't have full control over every note, dynamic, or aspect, when I struggle to get my fat fingered ass through the first few bars of Ode to Joy.
