Regarding infinte Rachmaninov, it seemed to me that to create great relatable music, it must demonstrate human traits such as vulnerability, which at first seemed like it must maintain models of human life experiences. However, now I wonder, if old works are indeed enough. I think they will have this crest where AI music based on human music will move us greatly. Then as time progresses, if there are not still human artists creating disruption in context of life experience, as is the musical tradition, there must be a period of stagnation. However all of this overlooks the fact that AI will be reading our bodily responses to life experiences and dreams too and even directly generating the music as we 'dream' it. So instead of the musician waking up in the morning with that fleeting opus they scramble to jot down, recordings manifest in real time. I guess there will be lots of examples where we are bound to underestimate just how interwoven humans and AI will be. And even humans with each other, e.g. collaborative dreaming. Freddy Krueger style :P
Sam is super impressive as always! I liked his prediction on the future of ai. We always feel more valuable than for example a rock or anything else for that matter. But we are all just atoms (or whatever is a more fundamental particle) and part of this universe. If digital life forms can continue intelligent movement of matter into the future and explore the universe until all matter turns to energy, and if humans were responsible for that - that’s so amazing! I’m just sad I won’t be around (as a human) to witness it all play out billions of years into the future.
