'The arrangement is fine, but it still feels awkward'... Trying out Google’s music generation AI 'Lyria 3'

Google DeepMind’s music generation AI Lyria 3 impressed with surprisingly strong arranging and genre recreation.

The reporter tested rap-style songs, jazz score-based pieces, and tracks built from chord progressions.

Its weakest points were melody flow, vocal expression, and rhythm, which still felt somewhat mechanical.

The review suggests AI may quickly handle drafting and arrangement, but human-like musical texture remains hard to replicate.
