I think this is true today, but timeless and classic music comes from creativity. And creativity is a trial and error process of building on prior approaches and techniques. Randomly testing new approaches and techniques by blending and extending past approaches and techniques seems like something generative AI (with human prompting and targeted supplementation) would be particularly good at.
All great questions. With these generative AI tools, the effort required for making quality music has dramatically decreased. The big challenge becomes how do you stand out in a very crowded market. To break out, I think you almost need to have other artists (or influencers) who have already made it validate your work and expose you to their audiences.

The other day I made a song on SUNO (suno.com/), a generative AI tool and holy moly did it deliver... In about 30 minutes, I had created an alternative pop song that is almost indistinguishable from a live recording. As I was making the song, I felt like I (a guy with no musical ability) was working with one of the most talented (and patient) bands to bring my song to life through brute force...

How many months of cash does your startup have before it will need to raise capital?
I got five lines. సටໃپƓලໃKСඨWљ௨౾ಊށϣȺϭɛ௨ඨÐݸభටໞݺɷ౾ܘࠄԨقعཧࢶఋໃऔ௧ڐໂঔஜҔळ൩ԎΠܘݝ൚ƣໃय௨൝ٮਘ௩ʜໃɥமؾHݚj૯ໃɟ௨څƽथશѪฅݲ౮قȤ൨ԫءȣѠϡڠȤٽԤٴ༩ގԦ૬Øɉ
What I'd really want is this service but put "software", "capital", "health", "app", etc. at the end of each domain. I bet there are some pretty interesting company names available if you add a suffix.
I wish there was a way to specify a prefix or suffix.

I thought it would be good to survey the HN community each week as COVID-19 plays out to track sentiment as we all face new challenges from COVID-19. To that end, I was hoping to recruit the community to develop a list of questions. Please respond with questions (must be multiple choice) that you would like included and upvote the best ones. I’ll provide a few examples shortly, though...
How about expanding beyond coding? The U.S. has a shortage of skilled people that goes well beyond coding. E.g. machinists, pilots, nurses, etc.
Also, I think your business model would be much more scalable if you left the educating to others and instead focused narrowly on being a financial program.
Another way to generate inflation is by increasing the velocity of money in an economy-- i.e. people spending money faster by borrowing more and saving less. Doing so increases the amount of money in the economy, but instead of the source being a printing press it is a bank balance sheet.
I created a similar service a while back at
http://www.nearbyfriends.com. Here is a video describing the launch:
http://vimeo.com/15039067. I later added proximity alerts so you could see when your Facebook friends check in near you. Funny to see Facebook launch a similar "Nearby Friends" three years later.

What if you don't live nearby? How would someone from San Francisco find out about parties/events in New York or Houston?

Is there a master mailing list, facebook group, meetup, or some other organized approach? Or, is it all just word of mouth via friends?

Just a thought, but you could update the title of the page to be the text in the first line of the document. This would make it easier to identify your work later when switching between windows.
I find that there is something satisfying about the sound of a keyboard. I guess I use to think of it at the sound of progress back in college. :)
I love the sound effects when you type, though it would be nice if you could toggle them on/off. Great work!
