Yeah, but here’s the question: If/when A.I. can nail those things, will that be good or bad?

Of course it will be good at some point. If AI can match the range of vocals, emotions, pronunciations, why not? Whatever intent behind the art can be attached to generated music after the fact. What boggles me is that some people find the current level of AI acceptable for anything else than playing around or find inspiration.

The way I see it is, AI cannot nail these things until you can imbue it with a comprehensive set of human experiences, knowledge and opinions, and the knowledge of every step of the artistic creation process, AND how to weave these two different things together to create something that conveys inherent meaning to other humans by virtue of being the thing that it is.

Basically until we can actually model a human brain in real time, AI generated media will always be kinda shit. Not exceptionalism - just the truth.
