 Why the emergence of [[artificial intelligence]] that can write its own Nirvana tunes tells us something opposite to what we think it does.
-Pink Floyd’s 1992 album ''The Division Bell'' wittily dubbed “ wish you were an animal on the dark side of the wall”. Karen mind that was a facsimile created by most of the original members of pink Floyd. Now imagine a pink Floyd album created by a Pink Floyd tribute act, containing none of the original members but instead gifted fans who are passionate about Pink Floyd and understand it's musical output.
+In 1992 the remaining members of Pink Floyd, minus perma-curmudgeon-but-creative-force Roger Waters, assembled to record a new album, which would be later released as ''The Division Bell''. Beautifully recorded and redolent of the bands signature crystalline guitar solos, swampy organs and moody synth pads, the album went straight to number 1 in the UK and the US, selling something like 10,000,000 worldwide. But critical reactions were mixed; one wittily dubbing it “Wish You Were An Animal On The Dark Side Of The Wall”. Despite the phenomenal sales, posterity has favoured Roger Waters’s judgment that the Division Bell was “Just rubbish ... nonsense from beginning to end.”
+Now keep in mind that this was a a real album, created by actual members of Pink Floyd. A new album in 1994 could have taken one of the following forms:
+*An actual, new Pink Floyd Album, where Roger Waters returned to join the, wrote most of the material and bossed, grumped and control-freaked the remaining members of the band as, allegedly, he did in the 1970s;
+*The Pink Floyd album that was released, ''The Division Bell'', with Waters replaced by a session musician, and David Gilmour’s partner writing all the lyrics;
+*An album created by a band of musically gifted Pink Floyd fans — people who are passionate about Pink Floyd, deeply understand it, and have considered views of its thematic and musical output, and intended to create what they would expect a Pink Floyd Album to sound like;
+*A Pink Floyd Album made by AI, deploying machine learning, neural networks to analyse the band’s recorded output.
 The importance of authenticity. Why is it not the same when it isn't David gilmour playing that guitar solo?
