New Yorker discovers AI music bad because vibes, not technique

The New Yorker dusts off a minimalist quote graphic to deliver what might be the most NPR-coded take on AI music imaginable: it's not that the robots can't compose, it's that they lack ~context~ and ~authenticity~. This is prestige media gently nudging its audience toward the conclusion that artificial slop is missing some ineffable cultural seasoning. A perfect encapsulation of high-brow outlets scrambling to have opinions about AI while maintaining their thoughtful, slightly disappointed tone.
