Timbaland's AI music project is a ghost in a misguided machine
Briefly

In a groundbreaking 2018 interview, avant-garde musician SOPHIE conversed with Sophia, a robot designed by Hanson Robotics, discussing AI's influence on creativity in music. Sophia emphasized that while AI should learn creativity from humans, it would only simulate, rather than replicate, true artistic creativity. Fast forward to 2025, producer Timbaland is at the forefront of integrating AI in music with his company Stage Zero, aiming to create an AI-generated music genre called 'A-pop'. Timbaland envisions producing not just tracks but whole systems and stories with autonomous AI artists like TaTa.
"I believe we should be teaching AI to be creative, just as humans do for their children. The best artificial intelligences in creative fields will probably be under partnerships with humans."
