I don't know, John...listen to this simple piano piece I "created" in Udio:

Full of accelerandos, ritardandos, pauses...it's like the pianist is improvising, thinking about what to play next, leaning back in the chair to slow the tempo slightly, forward to speed it slightly.

Musicians and composers like you/me, have an advantage, here. I mean, I know how to get the music genie to give me an unquantized sound: I ask specifically for that in my written prompt...

It has a dreamy feeling to it. Did you write all the notes? Or just submit a phrase or so? I'm not fond of the piano sound on this. It would be interesting if you'd do a home version of this on your workstation for comparison.
Here's a piano track I composed in the style of George Gershwin. I don't see this technology doing something like this: http://schicksville.com/The%20Days%20of%20Gershwin.mp3

Very Gershwin-y indeed!

Yes, more "presence" in your virtual piano than what Udio created, but I DO like that in the Udio piece it did not mess up the sustain pedal though it was used all the way through.

Your piece was very nice, btw...
