How about a Turing test for BIAB:

Put two synthesizers in two rooms. Let one be operated by a human and the other be operated by BiaB's melodist and soloist functions. Put a listener in a third room.

Will it be possible for BiaB to create a song that a reasonably sophisticated listener cannot distinguish from a song created by a human?

I belive BiaB can do this. Would this, then, indicate that BiaB is thinking?
