It sounds like sh*t. It's not that the original music is bad. But the AI just doesn't produces "soul". It's basically a super remix machine but it really doesn't make it resonate for me. There's no composition at all.

Just listen to this, for example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN0HYTRftew (Napalm Death)

It just sounds like, yeah, music. There's composition, lyrics, riffs, rythms, etc.

(you may not like that stuff, neither do I, but I can recognize music when there is; the AI just doesn't get it)

FTA :

>>> the general feel and instrumentals are convincing, especially to the untrained ear

This. We're talking about death metal. That's not exactly your regular 1,000,000,000 views on youtube (it's actually millions :-)). So people who listen to that kind of stuff had to search for it at least a little. And one can say that it's not exactly easy listening neither. So you have to actually listen to it and understand it. So talking about "untrained ears" is actually reducing music to its gimmicks.

I find it despicable when people reduce music like that. Music is so unbelievably deep when it's done by musicians.

AI is not (yet?) the new music overlord :-)

Humorous note : I think AI sees it like Jim :
