Great Article Bret!!! I would say this, you can't quantize Rhythm and Syncopation that comes natural in Jazz and really in Latin Music as well. I was Listening to a Christian Salsa Tune Last Year with My Cousin, and I Honestly could tell it was totally AI by the Compression of the Sound of the Vocals and The Conga Drums were totally Robotic. AI is Good For Somethings, but for Music? I Honestly Don't know about that except for Isolation Tracks AI Is Good, but for Songwriting? Not for me. Great Article Bret You Create An AI Coltrane, but it can't Replace the Real Trane
The music that I have heard from AI is simply inept in obvious and jumbled ways. Jumbled, as it sounds like arbitrary choices are made often regarding harmony, melodic ideas, stylistic consistency (or lack thereof). Most obvious is a robotic quality that in the end sounds bland and flat. Aside from its lack of humanity, it can't ever rival a Coltrane, Beethoven, or Mahler simply due to its aural incompetence.
The last two paragraphs of this article should be posted and scrolled on loop in every city's major transportation hub-airports, train stations, highway overpasses.
Thank you, Bret. You have so eloquently verbalized my sentiments about AI.
