Like MattRix said, I was also extremely excited about this since I like to improvise on my piano. But it was simply underwhelming and all I did was express that. I didn't say the project itself was stupid. I love the idea itself, that's why I was excited at first.
Also I was throwing a legitimate question. If you can't tell the difference between some random note generator and a deep-learning AI generated notes, what is the point?
I don't know why I'm being called an asshole for asking a question with a counter-argument. I remember a couple of months ago a video went viral which was basically a short film based on a script written by a Tensorflow-based AI. I also loved that idea for the novelty, but had the same feeling as this one--I could just random-generate utterances and call it a day and people will have no idea.
Basically my point is, there are a lot of narrow-domain use cases where deep learning is awesome, but in many cases it's not on par with human ability... yet.
p.s.
Maybe I have worse sense of music than you, but i have tried all kinds of variations. I would try dorian, pentatonic, blues, etc. and the only time where it kind of sounded sane was when you played easily recognizable notes like major scale (which beats the purpose of this whole AI thing). Of course one could call this "avant garde music" but like I said, I can write a random notes generator and call it that too.
