Abstract：

Unlike traditional music creation, music generation (i.e. "AI composition") using artificial intelligence technology relies on varying degrees of "human-machine collaboration" (HRC, Human-robot collaboration). It can be divided into two collaboration methods, with "people" as the main focus and computer systems providing auxiliary technical support; Or it can be mainly based on "machine", and system users only need to set the parameters of the work. For the latter, in the music generation of "human-machine collaboration", the "human" factor is an important component that reflects the artistic value of the generated works, and music generation dominated by "machines" allows the public to rely on advanced technology to access artistic creation, quickly master creative techniques to become "creators", and thus improve the aesthetic level of social music culture; On the other hand, excessive reliance on technology can dim the "human" factor, shrink the aesthetic value of artistic content, and lead to the devaluation of the artistic quality of generated works.
