AI and the future of music

I think for AI to make really meaningful music it'll need to actually comprehend and somehow feel the human experience. If we can make that happen, the we could end up with a real friend who is also amazingly brilliant. I don't think this is going to happen any time soon.

Here's what I would be on board with: AI arranging proteins to simulate pork, beef, etc. so we can stop causing so much suffering.

I've always wondered why people put the same tropes on AI as we have as humans. AI wont have to deal with emotions, greed and desires etc.  I'm on the fence weather its actually an issue or not as AI wont be greedy only the humans behind the AI's programing. So AI's primary issue is how humans program it to benefit them. So we are still dealing with Human issues just made simpler/faster/etc. 

Music is analyzable as mathematics.
 

yes.  But that does not refute the point that given sufficient processing power, any, and all arrangements of musical notes, in any possible time domain, can be computed, stored and then be used, in the absence of appropriate laws, for copyright lawsuit trolling.  It is the arrangement, and the similarities, between two works that subject the “artists” to copyright suits.

I get your point and never object to it..

But i added perspective of my own which does not contradict your point in any ways.. I apologize for my lack of clarity and  "dream thinking" about music and mathematic... 😊

i think as you did that this control of patents is more than objectionable...

@mahgister

Either you missed my point, or more likely I just didn’t articulate it well.

Music, as played by the interpretation of the artist and the inference of the listener through their “world view”, ethics and values, is not what I was trying to describe with respect to creating an “arrangement.”

Just the arrangement of the notes, in any combination, with any set timing pattern, can absolutely be mathematically derived. As such, given sufficient processing power, storage and time, the entire universe of those arrangements can be calculated and stored and the pattern used in a copyright attempt. Which is what I find objectionable.
