Sarahs music analogy was close but it’s missing the musicians expression. The sound of a cello being heard through a digital medium is comparable to the ability to see a letter on a computer screen rather than a hand written one. It’s missing the expression of the storyteller.

An interesting experiment would be to rig up a machine to a piano and have it mechanically play something like moonlight sonata just based off of beats per minute and an algorithm and compare that to an actual pianist and see if people could differentiate them. I think this is the sort of thing Sarah was trying to analogize for a musical application.
On the subject of AI filling out a simple story…Isn’t Alexandre Dumas accused of doing exactly this sort of thing with a few stories that were brought to him? Like the writers just didn’t think they could do the story justice and they gave it to him to do?
There are exceptions but broadly speaking, any person or organization that is encouraging you to isolate yourself from friends and family does not have your best interest at heart. This is one of the telltale sign of the religious behavior of mindless partisans. They’ll encourage you to cut “non-believers” out of your life. Avoid these people like the plague.
The thing about music is now you have an entire separate art form built around digital manipulation of sound. Or maybe more than one art form. You can engineer music or you can DJ.
If I compare the experience of listening to my friend DJing on Staten Island on a Friday night, which involves recombining existing (and usually already electronic) music in new forms to the experience of walking through a mall and listening to another ultraproduced pop nightmare from Taylor Swift for someone, I think it’s defaming the former to compare it to the latter aesthetically.
Well I don’t disagree about swift. Most Taylor swift music strikes me as recycled garbage when I hear it on the radio.
That said I’ve also never really considered DJing much more than picking songs people like to listen to. I understand that my impression of DJing is insultingly oversimplified but that’s the space it’s occupied in my brain until someone comes along and changes it haha.

That’s certainly true, that probably one of the key reasons so many people hate modern music. I feels soulless for that very reason.
