Google's AI music generator MusicLM has impressed listeners. Can you tell if these tunes were created by humans or an algorithm? - ABC News

Human creativity was once thought to be protected from major improvements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, but new generative AI systems are already competing with the imaginations of our most creative individuals, including musicians. Google's AI research project MusicLM has impressed listeners in the past few weeks, since it debuted its ability to turn simple text prompts into music that can sometimes be almost indistinguishable from works created by humans. So we've collected five pieces of music created by humans and five created by the MusicLM AI, to see if you can spot differences between the two in the quiz below. After the interactive questionnaire, we ask an expert to discuss how we might be able to better identify AI music, and what its advancements may mean for artists and the listening public. For now, let's get listening.
