I think saying he was using AI is a bit of a stretch. They are using
algorithms that analyze a sample file and it tries to replicate it by
running a ton of random SysEx MIDI controls and sampling them to see
if they match. This isn't an Artificial Intelligence. I see they use
Artificial Evolution in that article which sounds like a perfectly
cromulent word.
All the final choices are done by a human, you still have to sift
through all the new patches it made overnight.
