Repl.it founder Amjad Lehmann argues AI music will never replace human music, drawing an analogy to chess: Deep Blue beat Kasparov in 1997, yet nobody watches computers play while Magnus Carlsen's matches still sell out — people want to see what a human can do. Reposter akpiper agrees: AI music, books and movies are Muzak-like background noise; art that moves you requires one human mind communing with another.
