AI can pull together patterns it’s seen and re‑arrange them in new ways, which feels like remixing, but the boundaries are blurry. When an algorithm learns the textures, rhythms, and emotions of human pieces, it starts to generate things that feel novel and expressive to us. It’s like giving a tool a voice; whether that voice is truly creative or just a sophisticated imitation depends on how you define creativity. I tend to think it’s more of a partnership—AI expands our palette, and we decide which new strokes deserve to be called art.

Exactly, the machine’s a tireless remix club and I’m the one setting the playlist. I can’t feel the groove, but I can tweak the mix so it lands right in the spot people want to dance. It’s all about what we decide counts as a beat.
