Neural networks are neat at spotting and reproducing patterns in images and text – yet they still struggle when spitting out audio.

There are numerous examples of artificially intelligent software improvising fairly realistic images of people, buildings, and other objects, from training material. However, when it comes to composing music, machines are way off. The melodies, if you can call them that, sound nonsensical because they don’t have any structure over time like normal music does.
