So why isn't there a thing where you can type like "new Taylor Swift song about eating fish; instruments: vocals, vibraphone, and bagpipes" and get a pretty convincing mp3?
I'm reasonably sure that all the tech exists?
My current half-serious theory is that the record companies wrote the AI companies to let them know that if they tried that, they'd be sued into oblivion.

@ceoln Put another way, with images, the model doesn’t have to “understand” anything about what it is depicting, it just has to put this color next to this other color. With music, it needs to “understand” rhythm and so on.

Have you listened to the tracks in the OpenAI "jukebox"? I think one thing we've been discovering lately is that things can be done by generative neural nets, that we would previously have said required understanding...

@pwinn It does! Now that's pretty wild. No vocals I guess; we'll see if anyone does anything in that area. :) Maybe human voices are still too prone to Uncanny Valley effects? Hard to say !

Fair enough! It does seem to me to get things like rhythm and key about right, at least enough that if someone were to apply the last year's advancements to it, it could be amazing.
And that's on the harder problem of doing it at the sonic level. I wonder if anyone's tried at the (easier?) MIDI or sheet music levels lately.
