While reassuring for many to hear, that's only going to be true for so long. Eventually it's going to be real fucking good at making "real" music. We need to be preparing for those advancements rather than acting like they'll never come.

    I feel very reassured to hear that from the AI expert / musical virtuoso himself, 62 year old, former United States President Barack Obama.

    To make "real" music, AI will probably need a lot of help. Image generators and chat bots seem to have their own, very boring style. I've seen videos of artists using AI tools in their workflow, but it's still a very involved process. I think it will just be another tool for musicians and sound engineers.
