    It would be possible to do this study without contamination by using completely unknown and newly-released songs

    When writing songs, I always wondered if that genius idea is actually just something I heard 10 years ago, but don’t remember consciously. Similarly, I wonder if I like a catchy tune because it is catchy in itself, or because it reminds me of something which I cannot recall consciously right now.

    Sometimes, I had these moments later when the dots connect, sometimes not. With what confidence could I conclude something is new and original?

    I guess that’s just another task for future AI.
