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

Bonus question: How do you think about the value of music created by humans vs. music created by machines? Obviously, machines cannot (yet) autonomously create music, so music created by machines, at least at this point in time, is really humans collaborating or co-creating with algorithms/AI.

It can matter for music & art. An ai artwork may elicit an emotional response, but it likely lacks the meaning, fine details & social relevance that make it part of the zeitgeist. Same goes for music. I say this as an artist using AI. I'd say 99.9%+ of AI art has little deeper meaning or lacks an important quality.

Someone (Zane L or Rick R ?) defined music as something that elicits or enhances our emotions. Any kinds of emotion. Music can do this without context. However I believe that increased context about the music (creator/process/significance) both lowers the floor and raises the ceiling for the impact music can have.

it's a bit of the old argument about electronic music vs "analog" music isn't it. I'll use Autechre as an example here: their earlier work used tons of melody and BEAUTIFUL string sections whereas their later output far too often sounds like math drivel.

For people that can separate the music from the person and can still listen to R. Kelly or Chris Brown, etc., could you listen to Jeffrey Dahmer's greatest hits if he was secretly an amazing musician? There must be some place where you draw the line.

If you released a song that was Taylor swift level quality tomorrow, would people enjoy it as much as if she released something the exact same quality?

Don't think it matters. If you go to a club, chances are you're gonna vibe to a few rapists, bully, misogynistic or racist artist. So what? U should feel bad retroactively because you had pleasure listening to their music? Plus their music might be attached to a very personal memory of yours, and u can't control that.

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.

I think it does matter to a certain extent. The person(s) creating the music are part of the whole story. If a song was 100% generated by AI with little to no human input, I’d still enjoy the music if it was good but part of the story would be missing in a way.

The struggle to write the music or the difficulty preforming it will have an allure for some people.
