AIVA - the Intelligent Composer
See this TED talk about AIDA We saw this kind of program back in the 1960's. It pumped out endless Bach fugues. Nobody claimed it to be intelligent. It was clever. The cleverness belonged to a human programmer, not a machine. AIVA is a musical instrument being presented by a musician and a guy who sells musical instruments. It's more like a piano than a Beethoven. Speaking of it as somehow being "creative" is a serious error logical error. It's a sales pitch by a thief who wants to sell you the work of other human beings. Anyone who plays a musical instrument knows how they seem to have a "life of their own", but nobody seriously thinks of a Stratovarius violin as being creative or alive in its own right. We know that a composer can be sued for copying a single phrase or chord progression from another composer and claiming it as his own. But if the composer copies hundreds of thousands of pieces, has he created a creative MIND? Or just a big pile of loot...
