Maybe I joined at a bad time but this shit is probably the worst amalgamation of sounds I heard since middle school.

There is currently no pop song worse than this shit.

No, it's meant to be like that. It's mathcore mixed with saxophones and smooth jazz.

It's an aquired taste for sure, but if you like stuff like that (Shining, estradasphere, john zorn) it's cool.

EDIT : The idea is that you can make some pretty cool stuff with AI,and if you dislike that example, similar things made without AI will also be stuff you dislike.

EDIT2 :

Maybe I joined at a bad time

thanks for having a bit of leniancy, honestly. Your assessment on it being horrid is a valid opinion to have.

Well I now gave shining a listen and tbh, while it isn't my jam, it sounds like music.

Pho Queue did not sound experimental to me, it was dissonant. Not in a good way, in an "I don't know what the fuck im doing" kind of way. Shining sounds good because they know what they are doing. What kind of principles they violate. An AI has no idea what these principles even are.

In the end, we won't agree here. I think that AI fundamentally lacks the one thing Music has: A miniscule amount of thought. Even the worst pop slop follows certain principles because they just work in some way.
