No. At that point you’re watching a video game that plays itself or a rather involved screensaver.

AI music is the same. There is no surprise. No human element. No interest. No intention.

  • But the qusstion never got answered. If you liked a song that you later realized was generated would it ruin the song?

    If a robot ai basketball team was authentic enough to have hoodwinked me into thinking it was a real entertaining team then it has become a different question than whether or not I would knowingly participate as a spectator in an AI basketball league.

      This whole discussion reminds me of Milli Vanilli from the 90s. They were hugely popular with a few songs and then people found out it wasn't actually them singing. It was a big scandal and the songs because unpopular instantly. I was always a bit confused by the crash because it's not like the song on the radio changed at all.

    • For me, yes it would.

      I have less than zero interest in art that isn't made by humans.

    • OK, if you watched an AI basketball game and thought it was real and enjoyed it, would you follow an AI basketball league?
