The problem is AI "improvisation".

I could take my sequencer and crank the tempo up to a level on a Chopin etude that would smoke Yuja Wang too.

Who cares? The performance that is interesting is a human performance under these artistic constraints.

We didn't need transformers for algorithmic jazz or algorithmic composition in general.

It is also the bullshit of algorithmic Bach. Bach produced 1,100 works and most people haven't listened to even 1% of arguably the greatest artist who ever lived. What is the point of generating more?
