Will the bots ever get music right? Music was one of the things they couldn't simulate for a long time.
The mechanics came early (the tempo, pitch, pattern and the architecture of a chord) as those were just mathematics. What took longer was everything underneath. AI music just doesn’t have the same soul to it. The feeling that makes someone grip a microphone differently at 2am than they do at 2pm.
This guy is ready with his headphones on, microphone in hand, wires going everywhere because that's just what wires do. Sitting very still in the way you sit still before something is about to happen.
The question I keep coming back to is - When a machine finally finds its voice, when it steps up to the microphone and says something that makes the room go quiet, will that be the moment we recognise as singularity? Not the calculation that beats us at chess but the moment it has something to say that we didn't put there.
