My understanding is that Britney Spears can't sing well. For some reason, a lot of people want to make an argument that if she can't sing well, she isn't talented enough. Consequently, no matter how enjoyable her music may be, she should be ignored as a musician.
I look at music completely differently. If a computer could generate music and I found it enjoyable, I would listen to it. Can a computer have talent? What difference does it make?
Why can't music just stand on its merits separate from its creator?
If music is enjoyable, why does it matter who created it?
