This guy has certainly met a lot of resistance in his day, but I'm tempted to assume that most of it has been from the pre-Atari generation (certainly pre-Internet).

The story mentions that he's contracted with a "pop group" -- if it's anyone noticeable, and if the music is at all good, I don't believe we're exactly going to have a teen revolt on our hands.

(Quite the contrary -- real creativity is rare in pop, and if a computer can bring it, this could catch on just as autotune did. Maybe even bigger in the long run.)

Perhaps more people will take to composing. If with the help of this technique, I can turn a small idea into a mediocre piece of music without too much work, I'll definitely play around with it. (I say mediocre, because I guess you'll probably still need skill to produce good and original music with it. But I will show interest even in mediocre stuff, if it's my stuff.)
