I really, really want to see a live band or orchestra play a set of AI-composed pieces, none of which were filtered or manipulated by humans. Just generate MIDI, spit out sheet music (hopefully written well enough that it can be sight-read), and hope for the best. I'd buy a ticket for that, without a doubt!

We'll be playing generated MIDI without human filtering or manipulation today (though playing them synthetically of course)! If you know of an orchestra looking for some music, we could do the rest of what you describe :).

Perhaps an AI-assisted version of Ben Folds' "composing a symphony on-stage"? [0]
