The exciting report about how AI compares with real life composers is out. Stephen Arnold Music and Sound Out have found what this writer has long maintained: AI doesn’t have what it takes to compose music that has emotional impact. In other words – the human touch wins over technology. Always will. From the release: While humans outperform AI on the emotional front, this study reveals that AI ‘composing by numbers’ is not far behind,” says SoundOut CEO David Courtier Dutton. “AI is not bad at creating emotionally appealing music, but humans are better.” Absolutely. Goes for all the arts. Doesn’t mean it’s a Hatfield v McCoys situation. Working together can help humans. AI can help generate ideas and initial compositions. But robot-only music will never have the connection that human to human brings. Read the report and hear SAM’s CHAD COOK  take on it, all here: https://stephenarnoldmusic.com/human-vs-machine/
