Unlike you and Janice, I'm tending to go backwards, to old music. An old genre, anyway. Symphonies, from the Romantic era onward.

We are going to a concert to hear Shostakovich's 6th Symphony, plus a world premiere (new work) by R. Michael Daugherty.

I still gig for a living, so I get my rock, blues, country, soca, reggae, and other fix by playing them. I still listen to jazz, but after so many decades of that, much of it doesn't tickle me the way it used to. ON the other hand, there are a few outstanding new ones that can grab me.

But symphonies are so complex that even after listening to the same one, if it is a good one, hundreds of times, I can still hear something new.

Example, Dvorak's 9th. In the final movement there is a place where he combines two major themes for the melody, fragments of another for the bass, and another for the countermelody. And he did it so well, that I discovered that after hearing it scores of times.

But the point is, I don't care if AI writes the music or not. If AI came up with a symphony that moves my soul, I wouldn't reject it, but enjoy it.

However, AI is in its infancy now, but like all technology, it will get better--and quickly.

For me, there are two kinds of music:
1) Music I like
2) Music for someone else's ears

I really don't care who or what wrote or performed it, if I like it, I like it.
