Triumph of the Cyborg Composer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

David Cope’s\u00a0algorithm<\/a>ic compositions rival the\u00a0beauty<\/a> of\u00a0music<\/a> by\u00a0human<\/a> composers and have passed the musical equivalent of the\u00a0Turing Test<\/a> (listeners cannot determine which\u00a0music<\/a> is\u00a0human<\/a>-composed). They herald the\u00a0future<\/a> of a new kind of musical creation: armies of\u00a0computer<\/a>s composing (or helping people compose) original scores, he believes.<\/p>\n

But some — especially composers — are threatened by the ability of artificial\u00a0creativity<\/a> program<\/a>s to compose works fast that are good and that the audience likes.<\/p>\n

Undeterred, Cope thinks humans are actually more robotic than\u00a0machine<\/a>s. “The question,” Cope says, “isn’t whethercomputer<\/a>s have a\u00a0soul<\/a>, but whether humans have asoul<\/a>.”
