I think this has great potential for content creators and their use of royalty-free music. It might just help a lot of the big copyright issues, and distinguish each person's work with a distinct score.

#102Seems to have a hard time being the fifth Beatle.
I couldn't even get a cheap Beatles feel, much a sublime melody.
However, some of the piano pieces are pleasant.

#103How does licensing work here? Do they have the right to "merge" that music into their neuronal weights? Is there a specific license for usage in a neural net?
Re: MuseNet
#104I'm very into both music composition/production and ML, so this is neat. That being said, I think the "computer generated music" path is probably the wrong approach in the short term. Music is really complex and leans heavily on both emotions and creativity, which aren't even on the radar for AI. Being able to dynamically remix and modulate existing music is still really cool though. I would kill for a VST tool that…

I definitely think creativity is on the radar for AI, see: AlphaGo. Everything we think is based on emotions is ultimately learnable.

The legal situation of such music has been recently described as: https://futurism.com/ai-generated-music-legal-clusterfuck
Re: MuseNet
#106I expect the next major copyright law legal battle will be around the question of whether content generated by some machine learning approach that was trained on copyrighted data is a derivative work or not.

#107My take on the classical parts of it, as a classical pianist. Overall: stylistic coherency on the scale of ~15 seconds. Better than anything I've heard so far. Seems to have an attachment to pedal notes. Mozart: I would say Mozart's distinguishing characteristic as a composer is that every measure "sounds right". Even without knowing the piece, you can usually tell when a performer has made a mistake and deviated fro…
Funny, as someone with the useless superpower of knowing an enormous number of TV Show themes, I could hear all sorts of riffs on such themes ranging from Magnum PI to Sesame Street.
Overall, IMO it wildly gyrates from the best I have ever heard all the way to the return of Microsoft's thematically lifeless Songsmith without warning...

#108MuseNet 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.
At 2:08 PM PT, the Mendelssohn track was unbelievably good. I'm incredibly impressed.

#109As a web developer, all these "do it yourself" website systems make me sick. The end results look amateur and messy most of the time, and it's an insult to the industry to give people with no visual or code-based skills the tools to create sub-par websites.
I'll bet talented musicians and real composers feel the same about MuseNet. The music probably makes them cringe to their core.
Then there is the general public...
They don't notice anything wrong with do-it-yourself websites, and this music sounds amazing.

#110What makes this different than those markov chain models people used to use to generate nonsensical papers that sound real?
