Something I'm curious about: If I make some music I really like through this tool, do I own the copyright to that? Can I turn generated music into an album and sell it? I'm not sure if the site does caching but if it does and me and another person generate the same music, do we both own rights to that?

#32This may be academically interesting, but the music still sounds fake enough to be unpleasant (i.e. there's no way I'd spend any time listening to this voluntarily).
How does it sound fake? It sounds lovely to me, especially much of the Chopin+pop piece sampled in the article.
Lack of narrative. It's less disturbing if you're in the mode of listening to background music, but for active listening, classical music is so much richer.

#33Have anyone attempted to make a code autocomplete or snippet/boilerplate generator using this !? Would be nice when coding on mobile where its hard to navigate between code and navigation due to the small screen.

#34I always think, to be a better programmer requires a better understanding of art and science.
From literature, music, physics,... everything unrelated to the computer itself.
That's why every IT book needs more knowledge to teach users how to really understand art and science behind everything we experience.

#35MuseNet will play an experimental concert today from 12-3p PT livestreamed on our Twitch channel. No human (including us) has ever heard these pieces before, so this will be an interesting showcase of MuseNet’s strengths and weaknesses. Through May 12th, we’re also inviting everyone to try out our prototype MuseNet-powered music generation tool.
I really, really want to see a live band or orchestra play a set of AI-composed pieces, none of which were filtered or manipulated by humans. Just generate MIDI, spit out sheet music (hopefully written well enough that it can be sight-read), and hope for the best. I'd buy a ticket for that, without a doubt!
Perhaps an AI-assisted version of Ben Folds' "composing a symphony on-stage"? [0]

#36This seems incredibly applicable to musical scores in movies. I can imagine a product where the editor/director/someone inputs a handful of variables (mood, genre, instruments, etc) and timing requests (crescendo beginning at 30s and ending at 75s, calm period from 90s - 120s, etc) and out comes a musical score for the movie that matches up with their scene editing.
YouTube maybe, but movies? I could think of nothing worse. The score for a movie is just as important to me as the visuals.
Low budget movies/videos?

I believe they selected some of the best-sounding pieces. Playing with their tool (which is a lot of fun) is more hit-and-miss: some interesting results, but also some slightly unpleasant music.

Yup, this is why I said that the output is somewhat uninteresting musically - there are actually machine-learning music models that do a lot better from that POV, despite being seemingly unambitious in many other ways. (I've mentioned one elsewhere in this thread, but BachBot and DeepBach also deserve mention!)

Maybe more interesting for video games, where you can have a realtime input of gameplay variables.
There have been covers of people taking a pre-recorded segment of a game (say, a 1v1 fight), and improvising a jazz score around it. How awesome would it be to have this happen live for any game? Anything from mood to specific sound effects.
