AI and the future of music

As I read this thread I’m listening to an Idagio stream of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker performed by the Kirov Orchestra conducted by Valery Gergiev. All I can say is that it might still be a while before a computer might possess the collective intelligence of both the guy who wrote the music and the artists who have brought it to life before my ears.

The matter has already been alluded to in this thread, but subjective judgments serve as the bedrock issue when it comes to deciding what is good and what is bad in the creative arts. I spent thirty years making a pretty good living at a couple of Hollywood movie studios reading literary material and passing judgments as to what's good (i.e., worth spending money on), and what ain't good enough (i.e., not worth spending money on). Sure, objective analysis is fine and dandy, but if you don't feel it in your gut, you give the material the proverbial "Pasadena." I remember getting five second long calls from the President of the Studio. The guy would growl, "Is it good?" I'd answer "yes" or "no." Then, "Clack." Phone call ended.
