Music

Does it matter who or what creates music if it elicits a positive emotional response? Why or why not?

Yea - very few djs play R Kelly these days even though Remix to Ignition is a banger. I think people are generally more accepting of music from controversial artists who are dead (ex: MJ). 

Enjoying it feels like an endorsement of the bad behavior. Kanye apologists seem to think otherwise though.

Wow. Ok. You took it to a place that I was not considering (or intending) when I asked the question. I was thinking about the value of music tyhat is created by humans vs. music created by humans collaborating with algorithms/AI, not about a particular artist over another.

🤔 I'm not sure, but I don't think so. What if, as a child, you listened to a certain kind of music, learned to play instruments and eventually started a band. The music you create is the processing (synthesis?) of everything you grew up listening to.

I think it's an illustrative framing though.

What if you find out the musician you enjoy, "stole" it from the original creator (however you want to imagine that term)? Or, like Elvis, popularized music from another culture.

A bit closer to the AI situation, no?

ah gotcha. I don't really mind if art or music was created by an ai as long as its good. The best stuff will always have a creative human in the loop until AGI.
