Those examples are really hard to listen to, except for maybe the techno/dancebeat ones.

Part of the problem is the awful sound, would be much more interesting to have scores generated by AI and then have musicians record it. As it is you can't really tell why it sounds so awful.

Yes, I actually found that painful to listen to. Interesting to see where it goes, but for this erstwhile musician it’s like fingers in a chalk board.
Give it 3 months. We've gone through this already with generative image AI. Another vibe I'm getting from reading these comments is that musicians clearly have discerning taste. Unfortunately, I don't think the public really does. I certainly don't. All these samples sound "good" to me.
Yeah I’m sure it will get better, but I’d you have a musical ear this is pure torture.
