This is actually fascinating. The robot 'writes' a song that's like a country song, but devoid of meaning. The result is humorous. A curious example of neural net progress. It's actually a good example of the strengths and weakness of the "deep learning' approach to AI: good at capturing details, hopeless at capturing the big semantic picture.

They don't actually mention it, but it is only the words here that were written by the program. The music and arrangement were put together by humans. They plan to release a whole album of this stuff in the near future.
But there are plenty of examples of AI generated music, that are actually quite good! Here is an example:
AIVA (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist) is an AI who composes soundtracks for films, video games, tv shows and commercials. You can hear more at www.aiva.ai and https://soundcloud.com/user-95265362.
This kid has a really great video about AI methods for creating music, where he tries several different modalities to write jazz compositions. The first two he goes over failed pretty hard, but the third actually writes some good stuff, mixed in with a lot of bad. All the while he explains concepts that someone who has no idea about neural nets (like me) can easily follow along.The video is 18 minutes long, so if you want to skip the technical stuff, go to around 9 minutes in to hear the robot jazz:
That was interesting, robot jazz. the video was a creatively cartooned to explain the process but it was bit too technical.
anyways, it was amazing to know something different today!

Add to that, Warner Bros has "signed" its first algorithm for music.
And there is also an algorithm that produces an nonstop stream of death metal on Youtube.
In an era of autotune and the record labels being so wildly conservative, this is a rather sad, if logic outcome.

This is actually kind of scary. I get how there are beneficial uses of AI and how it can make our lives easier in some respects, but I also think that we need to be really careful with how we approach it. The fact that there have been so many books and movies dedicated to the dangers of AI can't be a coincidence.

It's both strange and cool what work is being done with AI technology. I watched a video on a short movie that was created by AI. They had real actors read the script and act out the scenes. It was funny and weird because the dialogue didn't actually make any sense. But it was still cool that a robot created it. Similar to this AI composing music.

Very interesting. Robotics are taking all our jobs!
