lol that’s good. What matters is what one is taking as a meaningful likeness to guide that search.

So part of the disconnect might be: people mostly relating to art as a big historical project and oh my god what will the children do VS people who are just enjoying and making art. And might track views on ‘art is created’ vs. ‘discovered’, or views on role/importance of intentionality.

And that defines my art-consumption attitudes as well. If I really love a particular band, I would never ever think ‘I should seek out more music that has the same sonic characteristics’, because I’m interested in art as something inextricable from its expression/creation, not as an object.

When I teach music composition I often find myself pushing back on the students’ desire to know what they’re creating before they create it. Actually exploring possibilities/going out on limb artistically is much scarier than just regurgitating.

Why not theological differences? If I had to guess, that’d be the stated reason for most (ie: “the other churches aren’t biblically-rooted enough”).

Crooooooooowwww

I’d love to hear more! What sorts of projects/assignments/lessons?

Which are you thinking of here? Suno and the like? Or are there better research models?

Maybe the same isn't true for music - even very small aberrations in timing or pitch or timbre can totally confuse/ruin one's sense of the whole. Maybe that requires more built-in stability and leads to a more pronounced library-searchyness -- the library categories have to be less nuanced.

I wonder if it's just a money thing - video is where the $ is, so that's where the effort is going -- or if there's something about music that makes it inherently more difficult. For example - you can watch an AI video and not notice the 7 fingers or changing haircut and still grasp the gestalt.

Enjoy reading your thoughts on this. I've been trying to keep an eye on research on AI music generation and I'm struck by how slowly it seems to be moving. Video generation, all of its faults aside, has clearly gotten way better over the last 3 years. I don't see anything like that in music.
