    More on music..

    On the news tonight they were going on about the problem with
    AI writing music, the gist of which was that it takes jobs away
    from people who write music. They said that since AI is using
    all known tricks to make the music 'good' that it tends to pass
    any tests checking to see if it was written by a person or not.

    My thought was, if people write better music then it shouldn't
    matter if AI is creating inferior music. But it also begs the
    question, if AI can write as good or better music then what
    does it matter where the music came from? Enjoy!

    I'm reminded of one of the old Sci-Fi movies (D.A.R.Y.L - 1985)
    where it was said: "A machine becomes human when you can't tell
    the difference anymore.."

    Just a thought that this relates even more to AI than robotics..

    Obviously people losing work over it won't be happy, but we've
    had machines of multiple types taking people's jobs away forever
    because they could do the same work often faster and cheaper.

    If I recall the details correctly, many years ago Honda shut
    down a motorcycle plant somewhere that employed hundreds of
    workers and reopened it later, fully automated, with only 6
    employees working there and higher output..
