I've not been following the AI-music-making scene in depth so maybe this has already been explored: Instead of (or in addition to) focusing on creating AI that can compose entire works, is anyone attempting to use AI to assist composers/musicians in getting over 'rough spots' in their own music.
For example, I often write pieces of music where I can pinpoint very specific sections where the harmonic, melodic or rhythmic choices (separately or in any combination) sound trite or boring/predictable. I'd love to be able to feed the entire song into a machine, point out those specific trouble spots to it, and have it generate alternatives for just those sections, perhaps on a spectrum from 'not-too-far-from-the-rest-of-what-you've-written' (harmonically/melodically/rhythmically) on one end to 'way-out-there' on the other.
Even if none of the output on its own was usable it would still have value in stimulating my imagination with ideas that otherwise wouldn't have occurred to me and that I could build on or refine.
