alt Hacker NewsThis is disgusting. I'm sorry. All the positive comments. It's like Waymo's posts on HN. Incomprehensible to me.
I guess no one actually wants to learn about harmony, about voicing, and voice leading, spend the hours. No one wants to learn how to actually play an instrument. I guess no one is willing to do the work.
They want to just press some keys and declare that they made what the computer generated.
This is all so depressing for me.
I think in the near future, the world will divide, and all of the people who wish to think and do, will put up a wall separating themselves from the hu-bots that infest the rest of the planet. It's alright I guess. I hope there isn't a slaughter of one side or the other.

I don't understand that as a takeaway. Even if this worked perfectly, it would not be meaningfully stopping or discouraging anyone from learning music, and no one is claiming that what this models outputs is something the player played. It's a toy that someone made presumably because they like piano.
