I think you're way off base. I feel like the remaining gap, in comparison to the progress it represents, is more like dotting i's and crossing t's at this point.

I mean I listened to the metal track, and I usually like metal, and I couldn't stand it. The guitar was just ... wrong. The lyrics were unintelligible, even though I had them right in front of me.

The pop song in the Katy Perry style was sort of intelligible but quite repetitive (moreso than most pop songs).

The other songs had similar issues.

I agree that it's quite an achievement, but it clearly suffers from the uncanny valley.

I think people misinterpret what I'm saying as negative about this accomplishment. Quite the contrary, I'm impressed as to how far we've come.

But I also know that in AI, it's that last little bit that's always the hardest.
