Very cool!

I'm particularly excited by the idea of gen ai creating entirely new sounds, sort of becoming its own kind of instrument instead of generating or emulating samples previously created / trained on.

Somewhat analogous to how the MPC etc. enabled a generation of musicians to chop and pitch and arrange soul samples into new types of hip hop music. Not super familiar with the history but I don't believe they thought it would be used like that.

I'd imagine a gen AI musical instrument just needs a lot more "knobs" to tweak and eventually someone will find that a particular "hallucination" sound to be interesting. Exciting times!

Absolutely! We couldn't agree more with your analogy
