You’re not about to see robots replacing death metal musicians on stage. That’s not to say this is the end of the line. Carr and Zukowski hope to add audience interaction with Dadabots, so there might be a day when you can steer the AI’s output and satisfy your exact tastes in heavy-sounding tunes.
