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)

Another troubling aspect is ai-driven trends. As this becomes the norm, our creative culture itself loses any human driven nature to it. In 30 years, it is plausible that nearly all of pop culture will be the result of a series of popular AI trends. At that point, art and music will no longer be a reflection of society

Trends are trends and they shape culture, but the wonderful thing has been the shift from mass market to mass niche. Culture can be 100 people or 100,000,000 people. Art will either find fans or not, regardless of the tools or technology being used. Printing press and ProTools are historical examples.
