• Abstract: This study explores the application of evolutionary generative algorithms in music production to preserve and enhance human creativity. By integrating human feedback into Differential Evolution algorithms, we produced six songs that were submitted to international record labels, all of which received contract offers. In addition to testing the commercial viability of these methods, this paper examines the long-term implications of content generation using traditional machine learning methods compared with evolutionary algorithms. Specifically, as current generative techniques continue to scale, the potential for computer-generated content to outpace human creation becomes likely. This trend poses a risk of exhausting the pool of human-created training data, potentially forcing generative machine learning models to increasingly depend on their random input functions for generating novel content. In contrast to a future of content generation guided by aimless random functions, our approach allows for individualized creative exploration, ensuring that computer-assisted content generation methods are human-centric and culturally relevant through time.

  This study raises the research question of measuring human contribution in AI-assisted content generation. By calculating mutual information between human input and AI-assisted output relative to self-information of AI-assisted output, we quantify the proportional information contribution of humans in content generation.

  We show that training setups which balance social learning with independent learning give rise to cultural accumulation. In-context and in-weights cultural accumulation can be interpreted as analogous to knowledge and skill accumulation, respectively. This work is the first to present general models that achieve emergent cultural accumulation in reinforcement learning.

  Procedurally generated video game content has the potential to drastically reduce the content creation budget of game developers and large studios. However, adoption is hindered by limitations such as slow generation, as well as low quality and diversity of content. We introduce an evolutionary search-based approach for evolving level generators using novelty search to procedurally generate diverse levels in real time.
