These songs don't have any hooks. Melodies don't get repeated. They all just meander along. I think as they get better at making these great middle of the road songs, edgy music will reemerge. Whatever AI will be good at, will immediately devalue, in the realm of arts. Just how photography gave way to non-realistic art and how drum machines made sloppy drums (or ridiculous apex twins) hip. Then, the artifacts we see…

Simpler Rhythms could be made creative. I am not a drummer or expert in researching popular bands but e.g The Ting Tings have a very interesting rhythm section.

Elevator music ... Hmm, perhaps there is a business model there: an elevator that writes music about the people inside the elevator, and adapts as the situation changes.

Let's not.

Unless you want the AI equivalent of this Family Guy sketch

Meg White is widely regarded as a great drummer by her peers. "Unskilled" is definitely not true: she just plays in a style that is devoid of virtuosity, and it fits the music very well.

Hmm, I think a rambling song form would have been a better fit.

I beg to differ, here's the nu metal version: https://suno.com/song/edea40ab-c41f-46e4-908f-a511b9ab311e I almost feel compelled to take action against the corruption and crookedness.

Yeah, that one is way too good.

Might also just push us in the direction of less good music, if you can’t make any money as a musician before you are a genius.

Well, OP was talking about sloppy rhythms performed by drum machines, not about sloppy drummers.

When people talk about this, they often mean stuff like "Dilla Beats" or "tuplet feel", which is explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MzKx0fKg5o

Funny enough, this actually takes extra skill.

You are just skipping the step that all of it had the human element considered, which to all of us is a very intrinsic part of "art". When AI generates a piece of entertainment it's ok to just call it entertainment, it's not art until AI actually has something we can relate to as consciousness (aka a "soul").

If taping a banana to the wall, or eating said banana is art, then I feel like making a machine sadly sing the MIT license to you has to qualify. The idea to do this is wonderful to me.

I would consider that the whole act of making the a machine that can generate music and then making it generate a song of the MIT license could be considered 'art'. That doesn't make the end result 'art' in isolation art.

Like the banana. The bananas isn't art, taping a random banana to a random wall and eating a banana isn't art. A particular person taping a banana to a particular wall for a particular reason is what make the whole thing art.

That could be very wholesome, but I doubt anyone would be willing to operate an unsupervised real-time generative AI that sings to random people.
