I mean this is shockingly good. The longer “lofi” example at the bottom sounds like it could have been a Boards of Canada demo.

I’m very impressed.

On sound quality, yes. But neither this nor any of the others offered for comparison feels creative in the slightest.

By contrast OpenAI's JukeBox, which is maybe two years old now, really comes up with fascinating ideas.

No, not just on sound quality. If that was an outro for a Boards of Canada or Ulrich Schnauss demo, I would not have batted an eye.

[woah → lelandfe]

No, it sounds like a car commercial.
