What all the AI music people are missing is that music isn't just pretty, enjoyable to listen to, etc. 50% of the point is the passion and (hopefully) profound realizations of the *human* who wrote it, another 45% of the point is the passion of the *human* who performed it. Only 5% is the actual music itself. Knowing that the beauty, intensity, and complexity of a musical arrangement was spit out by an algorithm sucks 95% of the "musicness" out of the music.

Anyway, here's a really good song made by actual humans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGqLjb_5kaM

Well this is a new take on "I will take the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh". (Ezekiel 36:26) Music is awesome, words are awesome though you may have to look up the lyrics since they're a bit hard to make out in some parts.
