It's not "convincing" and there is no sense of "style change" at all - it's very clearly just awkwardly re-orchestrating the melody with some timbral changes. The tonality is often entirely lost (the Rihanna to Mozart example is the most egregious).

I really hate that we have to criticize these awful articles and press releases all the time, because this work is actually really cool, but because the researchers and article writers constantly go overboard with their claims and rhetoric, the level-headed people have to come along and say: "look, this is cool, but it's nowhere near the claims you're making". I'm really sick of this happening with every DeepMind/FAIR/Microsoft/IBM result that gets published. It's so tiring.

There's a solution to this: stop linking to science journalism pieces. Instead, we should link directly to the paper.
