I understand that AI can deduce some things, and do it in almost timeless speed, but don't they have to be programmed to do that? Doesn't some human have to write the code to make them 'think'?
And at least it needs a human to 'turn on the switch' ...
I am no computer scientist, but years ago I read a book on AI and neural computer by a Christian mathematician and computer scientist. I remember him saying that a digital computer will stop working if 1 percent of it is damaged, but a neural computer will still function with 95% of it damaged. So to speak it heals itself as our skin when hurt has the "natural" healing power. My understanding of AI is that once all the data is entered, AI can and will come up with its own ideas as if it had its own mind. The two Google AIs coming up with some language/expressions when they talk to each other that humans can't understand is kind of spooky.
As for AI in music, I don't know if Ludwig was mentioned on this forum before. I test drove it a few years back, and it made very good arrangements. The author does talk about using AI in it.
