This is a neural network freely improvising 100% synthesized funk. It dreams basslines, choirs, changes, buildups, glitches, and surprises. At each moment, imagining the next, and so on. But it doesn't stay anywhere for long. Look around. The world is here to be played with. Pick a dream and go. ✨
We don't know where it's going next and it never loops the same riff twice. It's evolving, unpredictable, yet I'm constantly headbanging and at times full on stankfacing. With soft gentle parts between. Sometimes it decays into noise and has to reset -- an effect of going further out-of-distribution (pushed by higher temperatures). If you listen long enough you'll hear a rare ambiguous tempo shift.
Here's the music from which it learns, btw -

At first I thought it must be AI combining (or blending / recreating parts of) existing samples creatively, but reading the main AI Jukebox webpage it says "Provided with genre, artist, and lyrics as input, Jukebox outputs a new music sample produced from scratch"
