And as you say, you know, there's a lot of research around AI right now.

There's a lot of research trying to find like

you know, how can we grow productivity?

But the creation of music and art itself is something that is uniquely human, right?

And, you know, at least that's how we think about it right now, right?

So it raises a lot of questions around, like, even if these technologies are able to replicate human art to some extent, you know, will creators adopt it?

You know, how much, you know, will consumers accept it?

So...

So yeah, I think there's a lot of questions that are raised when we're trying to use these systems in a specific context, such as human.

And that's where we are very interested in understanding if it actually affects creativity.

Precisely.

So our experiment had two steps, basically, or two main parts.

So the first part was getting actually, you know, actual musically trained people into our lab and getting them to create a melody.

So the first part was, OK, we're going to ask you to come in.

You're going to play this piano.

We give them 30 minutes to work on a melody.

And then we ask randomly to a set of these participants to access a tool that's called audio, which is a text to music tool.

So think about it as like a chat GPT, but instead of giving you text, you input a prompt like I want a song in the style of, you know, a rock anthem of the 80s.

And it's going to produce it in like 30 seconds.

Right.
