We’ve been warned about AI and music for over 50 years, but no one’s prepared

AI is capable of making music, but does that make AI an artist?

If BERT/GPT-2 etc. represent NLP’s ImageNet moment, in the sense of transfer from pretrained models providing value (paraphrasing @seb_ruder’s great article last year: https://t.co/EbSSMPpbv0), when if ever will RL have such a moment?
Open

NLP's ImageNet moment has arrived

Big changes are underway in the world of NLP. The long reign of word vectors as NLP's core representation technique has seen an exciting new line of challengers emerge. These approaches demonstrated that pretrained language models can achieve state-of-the-art results and herald a ...
