As evidenced by this muzak, probably the musicians in the video

I kid, they're really talented at playing lots of notes

if he had a Hammond organ with pedals he could ditch the bass player too!

with a modern workstation or arranger you could do all of this... though workstations are much more flexible, but more work.

Gross. And the drummer is faced away from him.

The lighting makes them look AI generated. This music has as much soul as a line of computer code

I dislike it when you down talk computers like that.

I'm not gonna sit through that anymore than I would sit through another day of school but at least he's not trying to pass it off as music. I've no doubt there are cool sounds inside there.

I'm with you on this Gary, I don't get it. I'm sure they're all super huge talented musicians in the world of elevator music or whatever, but I don't understand the appeal

He was at NAMM with a Looper and Drum Machine, and demoed several keyboards at different booths, creating a song on the fly...though I'm sure he created some loops and drum tracks before hand.

just wait until AI composes, selects / designs the sounds, arranges the music, mixes, masters and performs it too!

AI is not intelligence. It can't create anything on it's own.

yes it can, and does. everything is derivative, even human creativity is derivative, from experiences, influences, prior art, etc. very little is original in the truest sense of the word

I don't believe machines can think or create. It's not real anymore than a robot arm doing spot welds thinks or creates.

I disagree. however, my perspective is influenced by working in AI, on and off, since the late 1980s
