Generative API won't ever be able to do this because generative AI (by its very design) can only do averaged, common-denominator stuff.

You need a whole new paradigm of AI/ML stuff to do what you want.

I’m not sure I get your point. Is it that you can’t make art with tools that produce average results?

If so I really disagree, achieving great results with average building blocks is both feasible and I’d say usual - you can perfectly imagine a greatly useful and successful app where any given individual block of code is nothing to write home about.

You can get a great solo of jazz piano over a generated battery filler, you can stitch two recordings by having AI generate the microseconds in the gap, you can produce a melody where AI adds human-like timing micro errors in the synth so doesn’t sound like a robotic rendition, you can rap and generate adlibs as a second voice…
