I started researching ML before I built a synth, but you can get a great intuitive understanding of interaction within a generative system by building a modular analog synthesizer and watching how your components interact, and seeing what surprises emerge and what stays predictable as you scale up.

"the new toaster says 'I Love You' when you put the toast in, and 'I'm Sorry' when it burns it. This causes some people to get angry b/c they don't think the toaster means it, and others to develop unhealthy attachments b/c they think it does. the solution is to make the toaster TRULY sorry"
