The music business and the illegal drug trade are both rooted in triggering the production of endorphins and similar substances.

It doesn't matter whether the nature of the stimulus source is "Hey Jude" or Rusty the Robot's song.
When DJ's became a celebrated entertainment form, I regarded that as empty, strange and a low bar for talent. But some DJs became big stars that drew crowds.

The results are far from in with regard to what Rusty the Robot can get done.
If he can drive endorphins, dopamine, et al...then Rusty will be a spectacle and a star.

But what's triggering the release?

So take any 4 guys, and they are the next Beatles?

You couldn't explain what The Beatles did to people.

Songs, voices, musicianship, creativity, charm, stage presence, looks, likability, production techniques, enthusiasm. All talents

You'd be hard-pressed to replicate that through Ai, to like the Beatles is to be human.

Your paying to go hear music, your going to hear some person play and perform their music.
