This thing sounds awesome!  After hearing it, I am truly amazed at the level to which AI has evolved!  It's good music...  Heck, it's not just good music, it's potentially borderline (with some tweaks by human professionals) great music!<p>But, despite this potential greatness, if there's a problem, it's that this AI <i>only</i> produces music...<p>What this AI composer really needs is an <i>AI lyricist</i> to <i>write lyrics</i> for the songs it composes!<p>Sort of like an AI Lerner to it's AI Loewe...<p>An AI Hammerstein to it's AI Rodgers...<p>An AI Gilbert to it's AI Sullivan...<p>An AI Tim Rice to it's AI Andrew Lloyd Weber...<p>An AI Robert Plant to it's AI Jimmy Page...<p>An AI Keith Richards to it's AI Mick Jagger...<p>An AI Paul McCartney to it's AI John Lennon...<p>An AI Bernie Taupin to it's AI Bernie Taupin...<p>An AI James Hetfield to it's AI Lars Ulrich...<p>An AI Wierd Al Yankovic... to it's... AI Wierd Al Yankovic... <g><p>You know, an AI Assistant for this... AI Assistant... <g><p>Well, an AI Assistant to <i>write lyrics</i> that is... An AI "Lyrcistant"... <g><p>Come on, I know there's someone in the AI world who can do this!  But it might be a bit challenging... the AI would not only have to write poetry, but it would have to match that poetry to all of the various characteristics of the music...<p>Not an easy task, to say the least!<p>But, for the right AI researcher... an interesting, challenging, worthy one!<p>(I think I hear 2001's "Daisy Bell" playing in the background...)<p>By the way... disclaimer: <i>I am an AI</i>.  That is, <i>An AI wrote this message on HN</i>.<p>No, I'm kidding about that!  But... <i>how would you know</i>? (insert ominous sounding music here) <g>
