It's easy to use deep learning to generate notes that sound like music, in the same way that it's easy to generate text that looks like natural language. But it's nearly impossible to generate *good* music that way, much like you can't generate a good 2-page story or poem

If you understand what makes music good with a sufficient level of clarity, you can express it in rules form, and seek to algorithmically maximize this greatness factor.

As usual with AI, this requires first understanding the subject matter by yourself, instead of blindly throwing a large dataset at a large model -- an approach which could only ever achieve local interpolation. Find the model, don't just fit a curve.

Why do they have a role? What does AI “solve” in music? Why *should* it exist? Make movie scores cheaper? Music is broadly accessible- it’s not unlocking anything. Can it be art itself? Hard to imagine unless it’s 1st principles constructed - a student of music theory + math

This reminds me of research on whether other animals can truly dance. It turns out, only animals with the ability to mimic the sounds made by others (parrots, elephants, etc) are able to hear a beat and respond to it. Mimicry seems important. Composition and synthesis seems hard.
