Man, I find it to be unsettling. Maybe it’s hooking into a sort of auditory uncanny valley, or maybe it’s just knowing that it’s all “fake”. The way different portions of the song are mashed together, missing a beat, is sorta interesting. It’s like pasting together text a piece at a time, only it’s missing the paragraph breaks and instead if just mashed together.

I find these ai compositions to be both fascinating and frustrating. It sort of exposes our primal ideas of pleasing sounds and how unoriginal a lot of pop music actually is. At the same I’d like to hear something that I personally think is better and more original than an actual artist that would make me want to buy an album or song. Could that ever happen? I don’t know. So far nothing I’ve heard has come even remotely close without lots of intervention from an actual artist.

I do hate the idea all this generative music would be used in commercials, etc. To cut corners instead of actually paying people.
