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

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.

Really appreciate your perspective on this. Thank you. Is the lack of an important quality perceptible or objective in any way? Can you describe it further?

Its a hard quality to pinpoint. I worry about it becoming like the music factory in 1984. Music trends driven by averages. Of course, much more is possible with AI. More about aesthetic than expression. Music is an expression of the soul. We have been losing that gradually as a culture, long before AI came around (1/2)

to be more specific, there are definitely human inflections of voice and instruments, specific intentional compositional choices that are found in handmade music that are clearly lost in ai generated music. Everything I have heard so far, even the best of it, sounds completely inhuman and unrelatable.

I dont say this as an anti-ai-music person. I am just extremely critical of music. I listen to a lot of electronic music as well as jazz, soul, folk, etc
