AI: long pause; holds down one random key for several seconds; boops another random key "Nailed it."
After spending a few minutes playing, I did see evidence of it occasionally tracking my chords (as long as they were very common - e.g. c major, a minor) and tempo (but only matching tempo, as in vaguely matching how fast I was playing, not actually playing in time with me). I played an extended chord sequence and it made one or two nice contributions, but mostly it was just random noise.
I wonder if this is due to lack of training data? Maybe it needs an actual data set of people specifically trading musical phrases with each other, rather than just a set of general music.
It's an amazing idea, and I can actually see it being quite interesting for things like musical phrase creation - supply the first half of a phrase and see what the machine comes up with for the second half, and tweak as appropriate. But currently it's a bit of a case of over promising and under delivering.
