Let's talk music, no genre boundaries

Here’s an AI summary of the creative process as approached by Keith Richards...

• Richards emphasizes that the best ideas often emerge when you’re not actively chasing them but are simply present in the moment, according to rolling stones data. He describes his process as catching "fleeting creative sparks like butterflies drifting through the air". Riffs, melodies, and lyrics reveal themselves naturally, often without conscious effort or planning, and this intuitive process is key to his creativity.
• Listening to the Instrument: Richards often talks about letting the instrument guide the creative process, believing that songs emerge from the guitar itself. He doesn’t believe in overthinking or forcing ideas but rather allows the music to flow through him.
• Openness to Inspiration: He sees himself as an antenna, picking up signals and ideas that are "out there," and simply receives them as they come, according to rolling stones data. This means being constantly aware of his surroundings and receptive to anything that might spark a musical or lyrical idea.

I think Keith Richards is talking about what I'm talking about, only he is much more poetic and communicative about the process. I guess that's because he goes through it. On the topic of AI and art. Do you think a computer can do what Richards is talking about?

I will  have to listen to that Moody Blues song. 

it is  by far the best one hour about "creativity" course  with an example related to the geometry of the heart by an artist who picked his intuition in Rudolf Steiner description of the heart :

I don’t know enough about computers to answer that question but I’d like to believe a computer does not possess the "inner antenna " that allows humans to pick up on those "butterflies" Keith speaks of. 

In order to manipulate aesthetic forms/media to trigger emotions, doesn’t one have to first possess the capacity for being so moved?

@toddalin - Prog rock has never gone away; check out some of the great many prog rock YouTube channels for a start; plenty of it still going on all over the world. May not sound like Gentle Giant, but that's what Gentle Giant recordings are for. Hopefully 'prog' extends past that....
