Adobe keeps offering AI summaries of my own scores. I never take them because, well, obviously, but I'm honestly curious how it thinks (or rather "thinks") it could create a prose summary of a piece of music.

"Our other album covers have been really down to earth, so for this one we'd like something more heady."
That's what I'd assume, yes. It's such a weird concept to begin with, though, and only works because they shared a similar degree of baldness.
Their pre-Photoshop graphics department was really working overtime.
A dark image of the head of a cicada, with the headline "In An Unexpected Turn Of Events, Some Cicadas Just Performed Pachelbel's Canon In D" and a footer indicating this is an image of a link to an IFLScience article.

A gray-brown cat with green eyes, slightly out of focus, on a tiled floor, looking up at the camera.
I took this picture of my neighbor's cat last night while he was roaming the hallway unattended, a minute before he followed me INTO my apartment and I had to (gently) chase him around till he let me get close enough to scoop him up and deposit him back in the hallway.
Hi! Feel free to ask about piano writing.
If you see this, post a fictional artist/band you would love to see live (these two tied)
I wrote him a letter once, and he wrote me back!
