Disclosure
Eck: Magenta aims to build creative tools, not act as artists
“The reason that I put that quote there, I think, is to be honest with the division between engineering and research and artistry, and to not think that what I'm doing is being a machine learning artist, but we're trying to build interesting ways to make new ki…”

Opinion
Eck: Magenta's generated AI music is not yet good enough for testing
“I, at least for Magenta, I haven't felt like the quality of what we've been generating has been good enough to bother, so to speak. Like you find it, you cherry pick, you find some good things, you're like, okay, this model trains, and it's interesting, and no…”

Disclosure
Eck: Magenta aims to generate coherent long-form music and art
“I think composing, creating long form pieces, whether they're music or art, I think is, is something we want to do. And this hints at this idea of like, not just having these things that make sense at like, 20 seconds of music time, but actually say something …”

Insight
Eck: Long-form ML models will let composers delegate macro structure
“If we get to models that can handle longer structure and nested structure, we'll have a lot more ways in which we can decide what we want to work on versus what we have the machine help us with, right?”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Eck: Artists will not do a huge amount with Quick Draw data
“I think, you know, I'm not expecting that artists really do a huge amount with this quick draw data because as cool as it is, These things were drawn in 20 seconds, right? There's kind of a limit to how much we can do with them.”

Insight
Eck: Users' first instinct with AI art models is breaking them
“The first thing you're gonna do, if you think, if someone comes to you and says, here's this really smart model that you can make art with, what are you gonna do? You're gonna try to show the world that it's a stupid model, right? But maybe the way that, maybe…”

Insight
Eck: Audio model generation errors sound musical because of learned training variance
“I think they're interesting because the model has been forced to capture some of the important sources of variance in real music audio, and even when it Fails to reproduce all of them when it fills in with confusion, so to speak. Even that confusion is, is som…”
