Re:Google’s AI Invents Sounds Humans Have Never Heard Before by ccvannorman on Monday May 15, 2017 @11:42PM (#14347218)
These were utterly unimpressive sounds.

I can replicate these sounds in a few minutes mixing on my 10 year old $120 Yamaha keyboard, if it's not in one of the built-in 999 x 999 sounds (because I can combine two sounds easily using the built in functionality), then I can mix it myself -- but it is already so close to the built-in sound.

Will be excited if an AI can make instruments that move me.

I'm asking myself if a synth is just a boring application for a model like this. But maybe it would be possible to implement a new kind of efficient sound compression algorithm.
