I don't think there's a practical limitation on training resources with respect to Music. Maybe the authors didn't get into any of the rubric, but it's certainly out there. Gobs of it.
By resources, I meant training time, CPU/GPU resources, not availability of data.
At Google? Ha.

What's so hard to understand here? The music it plays sounds awful! I have no doubt te tech behind it is interesting but the results are pretty bad.
I played with this for a while and never got the impression that it was random notes. A few times it played something quite musical which I found interesting and cool. There seems to be a lot of haters in here for what I can only imagine is some sort of sour grapes jealousy or some shit.. maybe it's the production quality of this video is out of proportion for the effort put into the experiment, I dunno but the exper…
We're not "haters". Why is it that if someone disagrees then they must have some ulterior motive? We just think the music sounds bad! That's it!
I wouldn't show this to anyone as an example of the power of AI because it's incredibly underwhelming. It's especially sad in these days where it seems like AI is pushing boundaries all the time.
So in other words, we're not haters, we're just being honest about how disappointed we are.

Why would I? While I use computers to play music all the time, I don't think using computers to write music is a good idea in the first place. --- @jgalloway___: I'm not sure if I'd call it an “expectation”. I just dislike it when people throw random shit at the wall and see what sticks. When you write music, you should first think how it's going to sound, convince yourself that it's plausibly good-sounding, and only…
That's fine that it's not your style, but experimentation is a huge source of new music and reinvented ideas. Dismissing any music that wasn't strictly planned seems a little silly.
You can grade experimentation exactly on its ability to source new music and ideas.
This experiment does neither particularly well.

Like MattRix said, I was also extremely excited about this since I like to improvise on my piano. But it was simply underwhelming and all I did was express that. I didn't say the project itself was stupid. I love the idea itself, that's why I was excited at first.
Also I was throwing a legitimate question. If you can't tell the difference between some random note generator and a deep-learning AI generated notes, what is the point?
I don't know why I'm being called an asshole for asking a question with a counter-argument. I remember a couple of months ago a video went viral which was basically a short film based on a script written by a Tensorflow-based AI. I also loved that idea for the novelty, but had the same feeling as this one--I could just random-generate utterances and call it a day and people will have no idea.
Basically my point is, there are a lot of narrow-domain use cases where deep learning is awesome, but in many cases it's not on par with human ability... yet.
p.s. Maybe I have worse sense of music than you, but i have tried all kinds of variations. I would try dorian, pentatonic, blues, etc. and the only time where it kind of sounded sane was when you played easily recognizable notes like major scale (which beats the purpose of this whole AI thing). Of course one could call this "avant garde music" but like I said, I can write a random notes generator and call it that too.
