> I think AI music has a following now because it's interesting and novel, and that gives it a story, but once it's mainstream, that story is boring

I'd have agreed 10 years ago, but I swear every time someone drives past with their stereo bumping, it's "robot music" (as I smart-assedly refer to heavily quantized/autotuned vocals). I guess it will probably still die out eventually, but that fad has been a lot longer-lived than I'd expected.
