Listen to some samples:

- https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/ (2020, quite good, but no classical music)

- https://openai.com/blog/musenet/ (2019 so not as good as the 2020 one, but showcases classical music)

There is no reason to assume that one cannot be moved by AI-generated music, as the AI has learnt from human-generated music and tries to mimick the styles.

While it's technically impressive and has a decent surface-level resemblance, none of the samples had any sense of direction or substance.

I can see this kind of tech taking over stuff like stock music that's automatically added to consumer holiday videos or played on the phone while you wait for a customer service agent.

That said, I'd expect the agent to be an AI long before generated music becomes independently musically relevant.
