Audiophile Ai music?
@gdaddy1 Precisely!  I'm a musician.  If I create something rest assured it's derivative at some level of prior created material.  
Audiophile Ai music?
But isn't AI creating it based on the human content it's using as reference?  
Is this about music or equipment? Am I crazy or am I such a wise man lol.?
Different things satisfy different people.  I say live and let live.  It's certainly a good practical point nonetheless.   
Turns Out Our Listening Habits Might Be Doing More Than Pleasing Our Ears…
