It's interesting that the Death Metal was the hardest to reproduce. I conclude that it's the most fundamentally human of all genres.

Well... they hardly tried all genres :)

It sounds like it can't handle lyrics or semantics that well so I suspect any genre where the lyricism is important would also be quite mushy and recognizably AI

The Beatles seemed to be the hardest music for JukeBox to emulate.
The sound sample seemed to fit the 'vibe', but lacked any discernible definition. Could it be that it's too sonically dense to easily reproduce? Perhaps this could be improved with a more tailored training set.
I think it was just the genre that was the least represented in the training data
dadabots here: haven't gotten good death metal with it. problem is there's not really much in the dataset.
(context: i make ai death metal & also i worked on stable audio). 100% it was a dataset problem. Diffusion models still work well when you train them on death metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlsRMQzD_6Q
