We're not even close to RSI yet. Without human intervention, current models will still spin in circles reverting to the mean. This can be sufficient for most work though, as the mean for AI models is seemingly well above that of the average person. But genius still eludes it. Sure mathematics can be proved, and data can be mined for novel proteins, etc. But where are the AI symphonies? Where's the AI Great American Novel? Mediocrity machines is all they are, yet most of us are (by definition) mediocre, so it doesn't bode well.
Just for fun I asked ChatGPT this week to 'play' a screen shot of some sheet music into a WAV file.
And it did. Not by using a music OCR tool, but by inventing one.
No one is spending millions training frontier LLMs on symphony scores or literary fiction. But at this point I'm fairly sure they'd get workable results if they did.
I've been tracking music in AI for more than a decade, and this is the first time I've been able to say that.
