Is that it?

There was so much kafuffle about Hit Song Science destroying the art of song writing.
“The machines are taking over! They’re taking away the magic of music! When will the vanillacide end?!”
Yeah, didn’t happen. Norah Jones is their big success story, their poster girl. But that’s kinda old news now.
Call me crazy, but I’m actually keen to hear what the robots can come up with. So far: nilch!
Alternatively, maybe the robots have been secretly writing hit songs for the last few years.
Maybe, just maybe, the record companies are secretly putting human faces to the songs by foisting them on successful Idol contestants. Or maybe the contestants ARE the robots! How deep does this confounded machine conspiracy run? But that doesn’t add up; surely the robots wouldn’t churn out such inexcusably pathetic filth.
Disappointingly, Hit Song Science is claiming that their technology is just a prediction and calibration tool. Dirty Dog Robot Cowards! You started this Man vs Robot song writing war, and you can’t back out now.
Hit Song Science needs to lay down the gauntlet to the incumbent human composers, or forever be labelled as the trash talking challengers that choked in the final.
